Does anyone have an old system and some assorted games that they would like to blow out?

I'm talking any system, any amount of games.

I don't play, but have some nieces and nephews that come over from time to time and if I just had something to occupy a few moments of their time......

    hmmmm, knowing this board, this thread is likely to quickly deteriorate from here.

    NFL football on that was the best football game until the most recent Maddens. On the fly play creation? Freakin awesome!

    I love this system. If not for the ability to rip CD's to the hard drive, I'd take the intellivision over the X-box.

    I was thinking around $40 or so, I think I'm going to pick up one or two namco's this weekend unless someone really wants to ditch some stuff for around that amount.

    Now, if they just had a namco with Tempest....

    I'll never get rid of it (sorry) but I have a SNES with about 75 games. I grew up with that system and even today it is still my favourite. Super Mario RPG, Legend of Zelda, Top Gear etc.... all frickin awesome games :D . Let us know how the namcos work for ya.

    Picked up a Ms Pacman namco from walmart today for $19, although it's $16 on their website. Comes with Ms. Pac man, Xevious, Galaga, Pole Position and Mappy. Was never much of a Galaga fan and never even heard of Mappy. But the other three are as good (and exactly) as they were in 1982. For pole position the joystick twists to steer. I don't have time to become sucked into modern day games (although I know I'd love them) but playing some Ms Pac Man and Pole Position, what a blast. I wonder what the kids will think of these...

    Anyway thanks for the tip!! Probably would have never found it otherwise.
