Classic Gaming

Is still just as annoying as it was 20 years ago and somehow still as addictive.
I decided to finally dive into some classic gaming by seeing which systems I have, A: Work Properly and B: Display on the HDTV.
Genesis 3 (most compact version without expansion slot for the Sega CD) It lacked proper audio/video cables and would not work with the HDTV but it (as far as I can tell) still functions. No Pit Fall for me : (
3DO works beautifully! The HDTV displays, in the finest detail, every shitty pixel! Seriously, it looks worse than a Hannah Barbara cartoon on VHS. I've got Blade Force, Fifa Soccor and Dragons Lair for the 3DO and went with the obvious choice. Unlike the original arcade version which lit up which direction or action to take I guess they thought they'd step it up a notch for the home release and took that away. It's nearly fucking impossible and I won't explain why but I do invite you to come play and see for yourself.
Atari 2600 Jr. and Atari 7800 Prosystem are both missing power supplies so I don't even get to try them out which is incredibly disappointing considering I have more games for the ataris than I do for the Xbox. With such gems as...
-In original boxes-
 (boxes not in mint condition but not in shambles)
Defender (2 copies)
Yars' Revenge
Lost Luggage
Amidar
Berzerk
Super Breakout
Asteroids
Haunted House
Stammpede
Warlords
Swordquest
Shark Attack
Grand Prix
E.T
Realsports Football
Fire Fighter
Star Raiders


-Not in boxes-
Ms. Pac Man
Taz
E.T
Space Invaders (x2 copies)
Pole Position 2
Combat (X2 copies)
Pac-Man (X2 copies)
Maze Craze
Space Cavern
Battlezone
Towering Inferno
and one unlabeled cartrige with the park bros. logo on it.

1 Challenger Joystick
1 Quickshot Joystick
2 regular joysticks (i'm guessing)
2 Paddle controllers (on one input jack)
1 Video Command controller
1 Space Age Joystick (with the tigger)

I may never grow up at this rate... : D
