i have been a gamer all my life. i fondly remember spending hours playing boulder dash on my commodore... still play when i run accross an online version. i have played numerous games on every console ever built. i admittedly keep the zsnes emulator on my computer, but i rarely use it. as the guy before you mentioned, video games are getting better. contra was awesome when it came out, but 2d sidescrollers are now the realm of online flash games. i enjoy the newest graphics and button filled controllers. some nastalgia is good, but it should not hinder the wonderful progress that the video game industry is making. with those specs i doubt i will purchase a revolution; i will, however, be purchasing a ps3.
