nice....i have found two of these boxed in the last week but not interested in getting either one.

It's an interesting system to be sure. Cheap games, which can often be found complete in box is a major plus if you are a collector. Some great games on the platform, even if they borrowed on some more popular games of the era. Some unique board/electro games, much better than playing Stop Thief! And the Voice add-on, should be in your sights if it did not come with one. There are new multicarts out now for this now, which is an easy way to source all games in one shot, if gaming is your main priority. I think the O2 is a neat console with some cool looking carts, & very cool box art. But personally didn't see enough unique games to over take my love of Atari, so I ended up selling the O2 stuff when I trimmed down the collection.

My O2 stuff is all gone. It was mainly local stuff I had found couple systems & around 25 or so games mostly boxed. There were a few I always wanted to try but never felt like spending on ebay to get. But ultimately just decided to stay with one system instead of 10 different all taking up space. There is however a fairly large O2 lot on eBay right now! I'm tempted to place bid!

other than that my oldest console is NES.

So, the NES isn't truly classic?

the NES will always be a classic

it was an instant classic the day it came out

[postulio]

its classic depending on what generation you collect for. as im done collecting the 8bit gen stuff, and went back to older stuff, the nes is like the xbox.

im almost done with the entire O2 library haha. im missing the 3 'delux set' games. and im already dealing for one of them.

That would be correct. The original comment wasn't vulgar, but regardless of his previous posts, I didn't want the thread to degenerate into a flame war, so I removed it.

my fingers were twitching on the keyboard to do such......in reality, you're the better man for the edit.
and just so this isnt a threadcrap/+1;
I reccomend Pick Axe Pete and Killer Bees...especially bees. GREAT game, killer bees is!!!!
And is it just me, or are o^2 joysticks some of the most responsive, if not THE most responsive, one button joysticks ever?! if only 2600 joysticks were this good, i'd be using them instead of 7800 pads.

[vintagegamecrazy]

I'm not much for O2 gameplay, but love collecting for it, as I've got around 30 or so carts. I did however like Killer Bees and Thunderball. So I'll recommend those two.

Damn, no wonder you're broke, you blew all your money on games!

(Just like me!)
