Where can I keep my retro games?
I love retro games, but I'm not so into having all the old consoles that they come with. What newer console (video game or computer) is best for storing and playing retro video games? Examples of retro games: NES, N64, SEGA, Atari, Dreamcast, etc.

can you order old games/game systems at gamestop?
Ok so I was wondering if I wanted to buy an old game system (and yes I have already tried looking online, however I have no credit cards and prefer not to use pay pal to order) like Sega Saturn and an old game (Saturn Bomberman x3) if I asked gamestop, do you think they'd be able to order it for me? I know i'd probably have to put a deposit down first, but do you think they'd be willing to order something like that? And then I go pick it up? I just don't really trust buying stuff online and i'd rather order it somewhere like at a store and get it. If gamestop doesn't do this, do you know any other game stores that might? Gamestop, Bestbuy. Something like that, that sells alot of electronic equipment and consoles/video games. Thanks! ^_^ I'd really really like to get this game back!!!! Thanks alot! :) I'll definitely do that! I hope they do have one in stock or something that would make my day!! ^_^ Thanks for your help!!!!!

what do you remember about video games in the 50's and the 60's and the 70's and the 80's and the 90's?
The origin of video games lies in early cathode ray tube-based missile defense systems in the late 1940s. These programs were later adapted into other simple games during the 1950s. By the late 1950s and through the 1960s, more computer games were developed (mostly on mainframe computers), gradually increasing in sophistication and complexity.[n 1] Following this period, video games diverged into different platforms: arcade, mainframe, console, personal computer and later handheld games.[1] The first commercially viable video game was Computer Space in 1971, which laid the foundation for a new entertainment industry in the late 1970s within the United States, Japan, and Europe. The first major crash in 1977 occurred when companies were forced to sell their older obsolete systems flooding the market. Six years later a second, greater crash occurred. This crash?brought on largely by a flood of poor quality video games coming to the market?resulted in a total collapse of the console gaming industry worldwide, ultimately shifting dominance of the market from North America to Japan. While the crash killed the console gaming market, the computer gaming market was largely unaffected. Subsequent generations of console video games would continue to be dominated by Japanese corporations. Though several attempts would be made by North American and European companies, fourth generation of consoles, their ventures would ultimately fail. Not until the sixth generation of video game consoles would a non-Japanese company release a commercially successful console system. The handheld gaming market has followed a similar path with several unsuccessful attempts made by American companies all of which failed outside some limited successes in the handheld electronic games early on. Currently only Japanese companies have any major successful handheld gaming consoles, although in recent years handheld games have come to devices like cellphones and PDAs as technology continues to converge.
