To accompany the previously posted and now massively updated, AVF Top 100 classic games Review, Info & Resource
I'm posting this thread, it is far from complete and includes the current generation consoles, for completeness sake at a later date.
I have exhausted my storage thread (for now) and am also awaiting some more decent video reviews before i add any more consoles
or controllers to this list, in the meantime enjoy what is there already.
