I dug my Gameboy out a couple of days ago so i could play Tetris again... 178 lines last night... Most i got when i was a kid was 190something...

I've also got a load of Sega games for the ps3, most of which look awful on a 42" screen, but i was hooked on Columns for a few days during the snow... 8.something million... Took over an hour and i got bored!

Tried the Sonic games, but made me feel sick after 20mins!

Only the 360 sees regular action though, most of the older ones are stored away. I still play Puyo Puyo on the Game Gear and a few games on the PCE GT as it has some of the best classic games IMHO.

He did say NES rather than SNES though, as in, the original classic square one.

I've just picked up an S-Video cable to hook my CD32 up to an LCD TV - had some fantastic old games on that thing!

Still play on the old Xbox from time to time. San Andreas mainly, had a good 6-7 day gaming session last year to finally complete all the missions.

Had a go on the Resident Evil 2 PC demo i downloaded recently (to relive the memories) - very dated, but was enjoyable.

Sort of tempted to pick up a SNES console...
