Holding a Retro Gaming Event?

o_mooga · 02-06-2007, 05:18 PM

I would be very interesting in holding a retro gaming event at my college.
The problem is that I need a way to rent a handful of legit copying of games and consoles. We have plenty of TVs but we need games, consoles, and controllers.

Since we are a college, we need to do everything 100% legally so no rom emulations.

Does anyone know of a company that does this?
Also, buying the equipment of ebay is not an option.

Ask the students? There should be enough people with retro consoles :E.

Yeah, really. Though you might have to ask *grad* students for some of it

I just sold my Snes / Sega Genesis and Nintendo for 90$

It really depends on where you live.

I still have my SNES, Genesis, & N64. I really wish I had kept my 2600 and NES, though

Again I must emphasis the point of location? Because if you are in California, somewhere in Florida is not going to help. I cannot think of a single countrywide company that does this in any capacity.

Dude you can hit stuff up on eBay... you can get a N.E.S. or a Genesis for like $15... I would suggest a combination of buying old consoles and borrowing them from people (legitimately, write up a contract that you will replace anything if damaged, etc.).

That is probably the best option available. If you lived in NJ I could probably hook you up with 10 or 20 old school consoles (I have a few Ataris, N.E.S.s, and I could borrow some...)

We're in the Chicago.
The problem with people bringing their systems is we don't want something to acsidently happen to em :-\

And again, buying from e-bay is a no-go
