You people should invest in a console. Really, they're rather inexpensive now, and there are plenty of amazing games that have made their way to the bargain bins by now.

€300 isn't inexpensive especially when you really need a HD TV to go with it.
Any ideas of new projects or possible sequels?

I came up with some and they just keep coming.

I remember Star Wars Pinball in coin-op arcades.
I was dreamy. Transferring that to PC would be super.

Both machines of course. Star Wars Pinball the old classic one and Episode I Phantom Menace with the holographic kind of screen.

Both of them very addictive.

I've tried PS3 Grand Theft Auto IV on a regular TV without HDTV and I found it great. The problem was that PS3 overheated too quickly.
10 minutes of gameplay was enough to make PS3 boil.

On PS2 no matter how much time I was playing, it was cool as fridge.

Besides I don't find it good to have multiple consoles just because they don't play older games or other console games as well.

For instance, on PS2 I could play PS1 games, but that didn't happened on PS3.
I loved Star Wars Rogue Leader and Rogue Squadron II on Gamecube but it was tiring to have both Gamecube, PS2 and PS3. A console to cover all games would be better.

You can always use your pc monitor instead.
I'd love to see a good port of the Twisted Metal games with an online component through one of the big services (Steam,GFWL,battle.net).
From consoles:
Red Death Redemption
Brütal Legend

An official Saturn / Dreamcast emulator letting me play my games on PC.

On the other hand..... gaming time is already limited enough, Witcher 2 / Skyrim coming soon / this year - thanks, I got enough already.

I own an SNES, N64, Ps2, Xbox, Wii, and nearly two-thirds of the games I listed. My personal reasons for wanting to see them on the PC are overall framerate and resolution improvements, mouse & keyboard controls, and system longevity. I trust the reliability and quality of my Nintendo consoles and self built PC far more than that of my Ps2 and Xbox, and everything I've read read about them points to the 360 and Ps3 being even less reliable than their predecessors...
