Does anyone remeber the Atira Jaguar? From what I remember it was the first 64bit console no? Had to 2x bit chips one for graphis and one for sound.

I never owned one, but it looked kool on games master!

Home Alone, Jurasic Park, Shinobi.

Road Rash what an awesome game, they should make an up to date version.

Flashback Class

Jungle Strike Class

Road Rash 3 Gash

Earthworm Jim Class




Going to have to dig out the PS and Dreamcast now.:rolleyes:

Dreamcast .

Jungle strike, Desert strike and urban stirke they were all awesome games.

you guys really need to go to http://www.romnation.net/srv/toprated.html (http://www.romnation.com) you can download the emulators and play the oldies on the pc.
Either that or get a Wii and download the oldies into it.
Currently playing altered beast, starfox lylat wars and streets of rage on our wii (not at the same time).

Depends on which browser you are on - will be in the security settings I would have thought tho.

Awesome! We have a master system 2 with Alex Kid preloaded on it.

You should totally get Golden Axe for the megadrive though. Epic game.
