Re: What to do with old systems?
Unless you have a yard sale coming up, might as well trade it all in for credit towards an X360 game.

Re: What to do with old systems?
I still have a Microvision too!!! I won it as a door prize at a party at my synagogue when I was a kid. First thing of value I ever won.
I had a couple of other games for it, like baseball -- you turned the little knob to "swing" the bat.
Haven't touched it in years, though. Next time I visit my folks I'll take it out and see if it still works.

One set of my Grandparents had a Colecovision, the other set had an Intellivision, both great fun in their day. I remember my Grandmother loved ladybug for the Coleco while my Grandfather on the other side loved Burgertime.

Other option -- give them to the local Hospital's Childrens Unit if you have one.

The GameCube and the Wii are pretty similar on the inside anyway.

Re: What to do with old systems?
That's pretty good. A friend of mine took my old Dreamcast and a bunch of games (at least a dozen) to Gorilla Games and they only gave him $55 cash (it would have been $68 in credit, but their prices are much higher than GameStop's anyway).
I'm sure I could've gotten a lot more if I was interested in packaging everything and mailing it to someone via eBay. Oh well.

A few weeks ago, I cleaned my old Dreamcast and played Resident Evil Code Veronica. It brought back good memories.
You could sell your stuff on Ebay or locally by word of mouth.

Some of those old NES and SNES games, and even some N64 games are worth like $20 to $60 bucks nowdays. I have one of the special edition the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time that is probably worth maybe $100.
