I have all the roms (which are actually .col files) I've downloaded a couple different emulators but none allow me to open the roms. Is there one that will play these that works with Windows Vista?? if so, please give me the link! THANKS!

Try looking on Georoms.com

Would you want some?

This for example
@@@@@@@@@
UBS Colecovision including the Smurfs 10$ US
USB Sega Master System including Altered Beast 10$ US
USB NES including Donkey Kong 10$ US
USB Intellevision including Utopia 10$ US
USB Atari ST including Dragon's Lair 11$
@@@@@@@@@

And other games could be bought online as ROM images with docs in PDF 1$ or as packaged miniature chips with the docs printed on recycled fibers 3$.

Including twin USB plug the systems could even maybe not require another plug!

To be honest, I grew up with the 5th-gen games (N64, Playstation 1), and all the old 1st and 2nd gen games don't interest me. besides, Nintendo already offers many old games for download on the Wii, and most of the other old companies don't have the money to create a whole console again.

But, that's just my opinion, I'm sure someone older might appreciate such a game revival.

it had controllers like a colecovision but it was white like an old computer
does anyone know what it is called and any info on it

TI-80 had a chess game that you could load to it but there has never been a system that used tape exclusively. even pong was a internal program and the first home console, Atari 2600, always used casettes. Colecolvision came out a few year later after the Atari 2600

If it was white, it might be the Dragon 32, Commodore Vic 20, Commodore 64, BBC Micro, Acorn Electron, or the Oric 1. All of those are white and and used tapes. Do a Google image search on the names and see what you think.

I have this "man cave" in my basement. I love video games but hate emulators, and prefer the old console over backwards compatibility.

My goal is to have just about every console ever made hooked up to the same tv.

I'm talking Magnavox Odyssey, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, Atari Jaguar, Intellivision, Colecovision, Sega Masters, Genesis, 32x, sega cd, saturn, dreamcast, nes, snes, n64, gamecube, wii, ps1, ps2, ps3, xbox, xbox 360, 3DO, Neo geo

Is this possible?
Do you like the idea?

yes you need multiple A/V Component Switches they convert the audio video inputs into more of them. most new tvs have at least 3 so ranging on ur TV is how many of them u will need. they range prices shapes sizes everything some will turn one a/v into 2 and another will convert it into 6 but the most common ones are 3 and 4s and the more it spits the a/v inputs to the more expensive. if you dont know what a A/V Component Switch is here is a link to one of them.amazon.com/Switch-Component-D… so if ur tv say has 4(like mine tv) input u need to convert it into at least 25 so u will probably need to put A/V Component Switches into another A/V Component Switch

u got to get a tv with alot of av ports

which 1 you think have a better graphic..??
it all comes to your ratings. not evryone has the same opinions

Wind Waker DEFINETLY has better graphics if only by a little.

Antonio Resistance fall of man has better graphics than gears of war. Any PS3 game has better graphics than xbox games.

The arcade version of Double Dragon was released in 1987, long after the Atari crash and the ascendance of Nintendo. But the resurgence in popularity of videogames in general meant that some companies still produced Atari 2600 games even then, and in 1988 Activision released this port of the beat’em-up for a videogame system that was, to put it charitably, ill-equipped to handle it.

Popping Double Dragon into the 2600 for the first time, I was surprised by the high quality of the classic theme song, which was programmed in its entirety into the game’s opening screen. It all went rapidly downhill from there. while it may have been possible to create a good version of this beloved classic on the 2600, this is not it; it is practically impossible to play.

Surprisingly, Kung-Fu Master is significantly better. If you’ve played the arcade game or the NES version (called simply Kung-Fu), you’ll feel quite at home — the Atari version looks and feels probably as close to the real thing as it was ever going to get. This may be because the original was kind of basic in the first place, but hey.

The bottom has fallen out of the Atari collector’s market as of late; there was a time when fairly rare games in excellent condition would have fetched quite a bit, but I got these for $30 total after the eBay seller listed and relisted them several times with no takers. Nintendo’s appeal is on the rise but Atari’s bubble has burst, much like in 1988.

In the Kodachrome memories of my youth, I’m sprawled on the brown shag carpet of the living room in front of the Zenith floor-model television, entranced by the latest and greatest video game of the time.

You know the blistering action from that one: Bleep….bleep….bleep….bloop.

Game over.

Sure, it doesn’t seem so scintillating today, but it was my gateway to a lifelong fascination – some would say addiction – with video games. I loved them all, from my watch that played an LCD knock-off of Space Invaders to the primitive Coleco handheld football games my friends and I would play on mute while sitting on the back pew during church.

Things have changed a lot since the days when gaming skills involved paddling a small white square back and forth across the screen or maneuvering a red LED ”player” to the goal. obviously, the graphics have gotten better, but that’s actually a less important change in some ways. More relevant to me, at least, is the fact that gaming is no longer exclusively the province of pre-teens and adolescents.

Sure, baby boomers still tend towards disdainful sniffs at gaming, as do some of the older GenXers. but more and more adults play, meaning that games have taken on forms and stories more attractive to grown-ups.

Recently, I’ve been playing Dragon Age 2, a new role-playing game from Bioware, a company that’s forged a reputation for creating games with exceptionally inclusive storylines. Like its predecessor, Dragon Age lets me be the dagger-wielding, crafty, nimble rogue I want to be — complete with an elf boyfriend.

Yes, yes, I’m a nerd. I’ve learned to live with it.

While BioWare and some other companies have broken new ground for gay and lesbian character options — D.C.-area developer Bethesda Softworks has included similar options in its post-apocalyptic Fallout series — not everyone is onboard. A straight gamer set off an online controversy on the Bioware forums recently, complaining that all the gay characters and options were insulting and overbearing for heterosexuals playing the game — he didn’t like being hit on by a gay elf.

The voice of privilege can sound a little funny at times.

Notably, a BioWare rep quickly smacked down the complaint, pointing out that the game aims to offer options for all players and that the company’s approach would not change.

Even though gaming may be acquiring a level of maturity in its storytelling and artistic aims, there remains a stubborn adolescent aspect to it. Engendered in large part by the anonymity of the Internet, online gaming on Xbox and other platforms still remains a morass of juvenile racism and homophobia — I gave up playing Halo and Gears of War online because I can only be called a fag by a 14-year-old so many times before I decide I’d really rather be reading a book.

Of course, that’s why stepping away from online shoot-fests isn’t a huge loss for me — my bookworm nature (the other addiction picked up in my childhood) means I have a preference for exploring a story on my own. but where once I could only find gay stories and characters within the confines of printed pages, now I can find them streaming through my PlayStation.

I’m not sure gay elf boyfriends are an important milestone on the path to equality, but they certainly are an entertaining stop along the way.
