It may well turn out to be true; I've heard about a collection of Zelda games being re-released as a collection.

It seems like many classic series are being revived, notably early Final Fantasy games being available for the PSone. All we need now is for all of the classic Microprose games of the early 1990s to be put into a sort of compliation disk that will be able to run on Windows XP...

*Hopes*

I edited it not long after posting, having realised I had made a typo. Next time you want to jump to a conclusion, FF, pay more attention. :P

Maybe the problem with these forums is that they're always looking to the past and therefore their themes have been done a million times before. Take the theme of this thread as an example - your favourite games on these "classic" consoles. I'm sure there are dozens of threads like this in the forum and people just can't be bothered repeating themselves time and time again for the sake of keeping a forum alive.

Despite the fact that these forums are about classic consoles, the threads within them don't always have to look back into the past. I have a Dreamcast which I frequently play on and will continue to do so in the future. There are "homebrew" developments for it which see games being created for the humble DC even today, and these games are mostly free and downloadable as images.

Last week I bought a broadband adaptor for my DC which I am going to use to play games online and even across a LAN network at my house against some mates. These are all current events on a console that is considered to be dead.

The Dreamcast would still be on sale now, due to its decent level of technology, if it wasn't for poor sales of games and the actual console: It was released too early with too few good games. This forum is used by Dreamcast fans because they no longer have their own forum, and because the Dreamcast has now been consigned to history.

Perhaps if retailers like SR didn't ram PS1/PS2 down everyone's throats then other technologies would have the chance that they deserved?

Several SR mags had PS stuff for what seemed to be the first half of the mag, then the N64 has a 2x2inch section on one page and the DC another 3x3 section after.
