What's your video game setup like?

[Justin]

Ok mine has been years in the making haha (started with a black and white tv when I was a kid)

Dell 24'' lcd monitor with pbp.

Computer set beside that.

Sound from comp and games rigged into my sony 500w stereo reciever (5.1 ch ss).

Snes,N64,Saturn,Dreamcast,Xbox,PSone w screen all linked together with switch box, and input in my monitor.

PStwo set with svid cable into monitor, and optical cable into reciever.

Couch only 1 foot from comp chair for quick sleeping aparatus.

*everything is about 1 foot from where I sit...so yes I am lazy, but I am not done yet!

Currently working on purchasing a mini fridge and an extra coffee maker to complete the set up.

[FM-77AV]

Well, I don't care much for my computer. But this is my gear.


TV
100Hz 32" Widescreen Philips TV. I don't know the model number and I'm too lazy to check.

Speakers
Too big, in fact. But as a death metal fanatic, you'll need powerful speakers.

Computer
AMD Athlon XP 2600+ (slightly overclocked), 512 MB RAM (PC-2700 - 333 MHz overclocked to 380MHz), Geforce 4 MX440 64MB, 128 bit.


CONSOLES


NEC PC Engine DUO-R
My sweetie. Prettiest console ever. I am currently loving it for letting me play Ys IV. I am also enjoying other titles on it such as Bonk and Castlevania. I will RGB mod it soon, so I can enjoy it to the fullest.

Sega Saturn
My previous sweetie. Some of my favorite titles ever can be enjoyed on this wonder machine. Magic Knight Rayearth comes to mind. I have installed a 50/60Hz switch in it, so that I can play the games the way they are supposed to be played.

Sony PlayStation 2
Memory card exploited baby. It's a v7 so its the big one. With my 80GB hard drive I can enjoy my import titles such as Ys without a modchip. And because of the exploit, I can use homebrew such as emulators, play MP3s, watch movies, etc. HDLoader 0.7c is the program that gets used the most.

Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP
I recently picked this up again. Haven't touched it in six months! What a sweet machine! Played some Castlevania: Circle of the Moon the other day. Right before Ys Strategy comes out, I will buy a DS! With it, I can enjoy the seemingly fantastic game Peach.

Nokia N-Gage QD
The infamous cellphone/portable console. It's broken at the moment, but I'll get it fixed as soon as possible (I've said that for three months now.) I don't really care that it's broken. Hehe.

Nintendo Entertainment System
A pretty cool console. With it, I can enjoy the Famicom Ys games with my Famicom converter. When I have gotten every Falcom title for Famicom I'll get a real Famicom instead. A friend of mine has been borrowing my NES for ages now. She just can't get enough of Super Mario Bros. - and I can't take it back either, she's so cute when she's playing it.

Sega Mega Drive + Mega-CD
With this beauty you can truly enjoy Popful Mail, a freakin sweet Sega Falcom title that's really hard in my opinion. I haven't finished it, but I'll try someday. It has some sweet titles that I just can't get enough of. Unfortunately, due to lack of space, this one isn't even hooked in. I'll add in a language and a 50/60Hz switch as soon as possible.


And then there's the Game Boy Color, Game Boy Classic, Sega Master System, other Mega Drive, Atari 2600, Nintendo 64, and old Mac that's just stuffed into the closet. I never play on those things.

[Gamemusicfreak]

Just bought a new Sony Vaio PC, which even though I don't know a lot about computers let's me play Falcom games even better and smoother than before. That's most important to me. It has a flat panel monitor. Finally got DSL too, after two years of terribly slow internet.

Consoles include
NES (updated model)
SNES W/Converter
Japanese Famicom Console
PS1
PS2
Japanese PS2
Turbo Grafx cd system
Turbo Duo Console with Hucard Converter
Gameboy Advance with Gameboy Player
Gamecube
N64
That's about it besides a very basic DVD player.

[blabla76]

Well 2 PCs
one notebook for internet (wifi) and a desktop one for pc gaming (falcom and others)
a gamecube on the tv.
Play most on the cube.

[priest4hire]

Well, I have an old TV that desperately needs to be replaced. Sound system consists of a Panasonic 6.1 (100W x6) receiver with pretty nice Yamaha main speakers with aluminum drivers and generic speakers for the rest. Sub is a inexpensive powered 10". Still, it's better than the TV. I have my Xbox, GCN, Saturn, and PS2 hooked up at the moment. The rest of my systems, including a TG16 with CD attachment and Systemcard 3, are packed away. I usually usually just emulate the systems on my PC since I don't have that much space and juggling consoles is a pain.

The PC has a nice 19" monitor and sound via a Soundblaster X-Fi (front connector deally is very convenient) and a pair of Koss Pro 4/AA headphones. And I have a rapidly wearing out Logitech controller for playing emulated games as well as the occasional PC game that supports a controller.

[FM-77AV]

Oh that's right.... I have a Gamecube too. I completely forgot about that. Haven't touched it in ages, won't touch it anytime soon either. If ever.

[DoubleD64]

PC
Emachines E-Tower 500is
500 MHz Celeron 256 SDRAM 4.3GB HD
ATI RADEON 7000 64MB Graphics Card
Liteon 16X DVD-ROM Drive and Windows 98SE

PSOne with a MadKatz 16page memory card

N64 with 1 memory card and 1 expansion pack

and finally,

Dreamcast with a 160block memory card.

[blabla76]

Oh Seldane,
Won't you play the next Zelda ?
And if you like S-RPG, Fire emblem rocks. It's a really good game. and the story has many things in common as the lodoss serie...

[FM-77AV]

Oh you're right. I will probably get the new Zelda. I don't really have any games for my Gamecube and those that I have dissapointed me.

Zelda The Windwaker was the reason that I bought the Gamecube and it really dissapointed me. So did Mario Sunshine, and Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.... As well as Metroid Prime (although I did like it at first).

I've played Fire Emblem for GBA and I didn't really like it. Too strategic for my taste. There are, however, a couple of titles that I find interesting. Tales of Symphonia, Metroid Prime 2, Paper Mario 2, etc.

[Zeithri]

lol, you got dissapointed on Metriod Prime, the game you said "It's great!"?
And now your planning on getting the second part? *poke poke*

Hey! You said you loved FF:CC
"Hansuke! You must buy a Gamecube! You know that you must, and get FF:CC as well and Zelda.. Play Four Swords on TV as well on GBA!! Buy it now!! And while your at it; Ys 6!"
Psk Psk, Seldane


My set-up:

Computer


And more;
Sega Saturn
Super Nintendo
Broken Nintendo unit but keeps Nintendo Shell for Future use
PONG
Playstation

Well.. Erh.. That's it

[bishopcruz]

Hmm, I use an Athlon 64 3200+ notebook with 512 MB of ram and a radeon mobile 9600 for my PC stuff, great to take to school when I have 3+ hours between classes.

Currently hooked up to my Westinghouse 27" HDTV are:

PS2: Gets some play, not that much, beat God of War recently, talk about over-friggen-rated. Though I have to say Ys VI looks great via component cables, even if it doesn't support progressive scan.
Gamecube: Hasn't been used in months, last game I played was RE4 which was great, currently using regular RCA cables, as component cables are on order from Nintendo at the moment.
Xbox: Hooked up via component, the apartment's favorite system in number of games, and hours played. When KOTOR came out there was someone playing that system at about any hour of the day, my friends would crash over at my place to play through it. I'm getting through the Bard's Tale currently, and I finally beat Psychonauts, far and away the game of the year.
Xbox 360: My new baby, hooked up via component cables and in HD this thing is a thing of beauty. So far, Condemned, DoA 4, and Call of Duty have gotten the most playtime, but PDZ and Kameo are also cool.

NOT hooked up, my PS1, Saturn, X'Eye, SUper NES, Dreamcast, TG-CD, N64, and , um, Atari. To be fair, some of these are my roommates. but you get the idea.

[ARES]

Hmm, let's see... in order of ownership:

NES
Gameboy
TurboGrafx-16
TurboGrafx-CD
SNES
Playstation
Gameboy Color
some computer that can actually play games (AMD Athlon 2600+)
Playstation 2

My NES and SNES were either lost or donated (don't really remember), my Gameboy stopped working years ago, Playstation 2 plays all my PS1 games, and I now play TurboGrafx on my PC via Magic Engine.
