2600XT??
Dont you mean a 9600XT?  ...  I duno 

[kixs]

My lil history...

Atari 800XL from 1987 till 1992 when I sold it and bought PC 286-16, 1Mb, 40MB HDD, VGA... even though I always wanted Atari ST or Amiga...

In 1998 traded 2 CDs of N64 roms for Atari STE + monitor Then discovered it had broken TV modulator...  Went into trash a few years ago.

Last year I finally bought A1200HD 540MB HDD with M-tek 030@28MHz turbo card and additional 4MB ram. Upgraded HDD to 4GB and CompactFlash PCMCIA card. Nice machine... That I only recently sold. I don't have the space nor the time 

From 1996 I'm in the emulation scene... those were the days when PCs weren't powerful enough to run emulators full speed. Of course that slowly changed.

I actually never owned any strictly gaming machine (SNES, PSX...) and only now considering buying PSP but mainly for emulation

Now I have two PCs and a notebook (and maybe soon an Asus Eee PC http://wiki.eeeuser.com/eee_pc_701)

1. work/games/emus: WinXP, Athlon X2 3800+ @ 2800MHz, 2GB DDR, 8800GTS, 1.5TB HDD & Speedlink Competition Pro USB 
2. retro for DOS and Win98 games only: Win98SE, Intel P3-866MHz, 192MB SDR, Voodoo 3 3000 PCI + GF 4200Ti AGP, 80GB HDD, AWE64

I see some of you had/have many great gaming machines 

bye

[baboon]

Looking at everyone's list I'm the only one sad enough to have owned a Commodore plus 4! lol

[EmuChicken]

... weren't they pretty crap?

[Hungry Horace]

... weren't they pretty crap?

subject to opinon. 


for example, in my opinion the c64 was crap.... apart from the SID chip.

doesnt stop lots of people thinking otherwise though.


im surprised you didnt own a Vic20 baboon...
