Does anyone collect retro video games? Would be cool to get some conversation started on that...

I don't, but I just bought the new Atari system. I've been playing lots of the classics plus the new "recharged" titles (Missile Command and Centipede). I also use it to play lots of titles in Antstream Arcade.

The Atari was way before my time but the new system does seem like a pretty sweet machine. What's Antstream Arcade?

It’s a subscription service. It gives you streaming access to a bunch of retro and console games.
 
What are you counting as retro if Atari is before your time?
Atari is retro I just never grew up on it. The first system I remember playing was the Nintendo 64.

Nintendo 64 was the system that broke me. Specifically, Legend of Zelda Link to the Past.

Great game, but it was so involved.

I need my entertainment to be dumber and simpler.
 
really wish Sony would do something for all the people who have tons of Ps2/ps3 games but equipment has died over the years. I have to believe it can be redone at a price pt that many would buy like $200 or lower. N64 as well. There is a market for these retro boxes with controllers that work that many would buy into..

That's the Super Nintendo my dude. That's what I collect. Are you thinking of Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time?

Something like a PS2 Mini that also plays discs. That would be cool.

Ah yes that's the one.

Strongly recommend these guys. Modded to include a massive collection of games. NES, SNES, and Sega Genesis available.
