My next door neighborhood had one when I was little (I'm an '80s kid) so I remember the system, but that was a surprisingly interested read.

How about late 70s Mattell handhelds, like football, soccer, basketball. Anyone have any of those? I think I still have my football one somewhere.

HACKED PSP FTW!!! i bought one back when they barely launched. Got atari 2600, nes, snes, genesis, gameboy color, gameboy advance, and arcade emulation. I hardly use it now but it was very nice to have all the old school gaming goodness on the go. Still got my 64 and dreamcast that still see some use. The dreamcast was one of the best consoles ever released despite its premature death. NFL 2k is still the best football game ever. Miles ahead of the Madden EA crap thats just basically the same game rehashed year to year with a roster update.

I actually have an old 1000-series laying around, and I thought about hacking it, but worry about bricking the thing.... plus, I enjoy being able to watch my movies streamed thru the psp if my roommate is playing on the xbox; not sure if you lose those capabilities if you hack it....

but in any even, I got a game on the way which blows all that shit away:
