Next round: Sega Genesis with one controller and Frogger AND a Dreamcast with one controller and no games (but it’s an OG that can play burnt games if you’re in to that)

Thanks to the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! I was able to connect with a guy locally to trade the core 2 quad and i5 processors for these two systems. I still have the i3 and two 2 gb sticks of DDR3 RAM plus an assortment of small goodies. I’m thinking these will have some fun next steps, aiming for a big swing forward.

Both work well and seem to be in overall good condition. Thinking I may beef up the Dreamcast with a bundle of game copies since I have a bunch of dreamcast game files for an emulator.

So what say you oppo, any interest in helping me trade up?

Steps so far:
Start: Paperclip
Trade 1: paperclip for three intel CPUs (core 2 duo, i3, and i5) plus a couple sticks of ram thanks to CBell04!

Curious, what did the paperclip look like?

Technology has kinda ruined collecting old systems, especially when you can do something like this:

This is where I’m at. I get the current feel for old school gaming, but I can load up a flash drive and take it to any computer and go hard on essentially any old system all the way up to ps2

I have a PS3 collecting dust but my wife would kill me if I brought home an even older system

4" paperclip, so bigger than average but no the classic red like from the book. https://oppositelock.kinja.com/update-oppo-trade-up-a-box-is-coming-1830178969

I was surprised my wife was as supportive as she was when I brought these back

are you sure? Any other old but maybe slightly newer than this tech? Laptops, tablets, other systems, small moped even? (idk why, but the idea of next trade to a moped has become appealing to me)

I’ve never seen a Dreamcast in real life and I only vaguely remember that it even existed at all.

And I had a Gamecube. Until it froze after a week . Then I got an Xbox (which still works today!)

impressive, I guess it was the 360 that had the red ring of death as a common issue.

All my electronics I’m currently using. And uhhh.... I’ve got a skateboard.

IKR?  You can even play actual arcade ports and more powerful PC/Android box/Raspberry Pi could probably play last gen games from PS3/X360.

She’s probably hoping you’ll be able to eventually trade up to something she wants or likes.

Trade that Dreamcast and the Frogger game for “Toe Jam & Earl” and an adapter to hook that Sega up to an HDTV. Call it a day, haha.

Get an older PS3 and put in a new hard drive + a new OS and you can run any PS1 or PS2 game buttery smooth using its built in emulation (and ISO files instead of physical discs) . Load up some other ones and it becomes a great “retro” console while also still being a PS3.

Yep, the original Xbox was built like a tank, 360 was junk for the first few years.

Holy shit I forgot about burning games for Dreamcast.  Those were the days.

The sega hooks up old school coax so it will plug and play to a new tv! Surprisingly you may have more trouble with the dreamcast as it’s only RCA and a lot of newer “black friday special” TVs have dropped stuff like that
