Title: [Closed] Raffle: RetroN 3
Post by: Bernie on September 05, 2011, 08:46:11 AM: The recent give-aways have really encouraged me to start doing things like this myself. So, I want to start my first one off with a new Retron 3 system, in box. Basically this system will play all NES,SNES, and Sega Genesis games, including imports. The console comes with wireless controllers, however I suggest buying the actual controllers for each system. So, yeah, the console accepts original controllers!! :) I have taken this out of the box to test it, and it is fine.

If you want to try and win this, all I need you to do is reply here that you want it. I will end the raffle next Monday, and assign each name a number. My wife will do the drawing, then I will post here who the winner is. This little console is a lot of fun. I have one myself. :)

I want to add that this is available to anyone worldwide.

Post by: Tolvatar on September 05, 2011, 09:01:47 AM: This is a good idea. Never heard of it. And it runs any region games? That would be nice and save many space for me.
Definitively i would like it. Only if it was also Turbo compatible...

Post by: Bernie on September 05, 2011, 09:07:01 AM: Yeah, it would be nice to have one that supports Turbo!!!

Post by: tymekiller on September 05, 2011, 09:51:15 AM: Sure thing, man. I'd appreciate a chance on this thing. I have been wanting a SNES for a while now. I actually like the SNES better then the N64 for good games.

Thanks for the opportunity.

Title: Re: Raffle: RetroN 3
Post by: Bernie on September 05, 2011, 01:45:47 PM: Yeah, I hoped people would like this. Its really a nice little console. The wireless controllers arent too fun tho, which is why I say get original ones. With the wireless, ya have to be in line with the console, its a pain actually. Nice feature, but its better with actual controllers.
