What console video game systems does everyone still have?
I just saw the thread in the pictures & screenshots section about classic video game consoles. Quite an impressive list and a good trip down memory lane. I'm curious if anyone has kept their consoles/handhelds through the ages as I have. I'll start with myself, although I don't have my Atari 2600 anymore, that was my first system. I'll list what I do still have.
Nintendo NES (the original and the redesigned) Sega Master System Sega Genesis (2nd Version) Super Nintendo (the original and the redesigned) Sony PS One (the smaller newer one) Sega Saturn Nintendo 64 NEC NeoGeo Pocket Color (truly a fabulous handheld) Sega Dreamcast (North American AND Japanese models) Sony PS2 Nintendo Gamecube Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP Nintendo Wii Nintendo DS And yes, all are in perfect working order. I like to fire up the old NES when I desire some nostalgia and it works every time. It is the original that my brother and I worked so hard to buy back in 1986. Our parents couldn't afford to buy us one, so my brother and I sold candy at school and raked lots of leaves until we could afford it. Even as kids, it only took a year to save up the cash with NO help from the parents. That's why I still have these things, they represent a lot of hard work when I was a kid (sure made me take care of them more too). I'd love to hear about what everyone else still has. |

Re: What console video game systems does everyone still have?
Wow, that's quite a few systems.
The first computer I ever owned was a TI99/4A, and I still have it. Next was an Apple II clone called a Unitron2200, and I have that. I didn't own a real console until the N64 and the XBOX, and I also have both of those still. One day, I'll force myself to throw out those old systems... Edit: oops... forgot the PS2 I have for playing Guitar Hero. I made it out of 2 broken PS2's.

Re: What console video game systems does everyone still have?
Wow icky, now that's old school. It's kinda cool to keep those old computers to play the old stuff. My buddy has an Amiga which he will forever keep because the games rock for it and the systems pretty much monetarily worthless if he was going to sell it. That's how I feel about my old systems and games. I know I couldn't get any money for them or the games so I might as well keep them. Besides, Wii's virtual console doesn't have nothin' on my game stash.
The reason I don't have X-Box is because I am pretty much indefinately borrowing my brother's. I just couldn't claim it as my own since he technically owns it. But there is one in my possession. I really want an X-Box 360 someday too, but for me it's not worth it yet since I don't have an HDTV to take advantage of its graphics. |

Re: What console video game systems does everyone still have?
Owned at some point:
Nintendo Super Nintendo Nintendo 64 X-Box Panasonic 3D0 R.E.A.L. (Yes) Nintendo Gameboy Colour Sega Game Gear Nintendo Gameboy Advance Nintendo Gameboy Advance SP Nintendo Dual Screen Currently own and still use: X-Box Panasonic 3D0 R.E.A.L Nintendo DS (Plus GBA games) Yes, I actually own a fully functional R.E.A.L console, and I have about thirteen or fourteen games for it. Even though the console itself didn't survive to continue its line, there are a lot of really decent games to play on it. I try to keep them in good condition but I fear that soon they won't really work anymore. =/ They're getting quite old... I love that old system though.

Re: What console video game systems does everyone still have?
In between my apple and my PC, I did lots and lots of NES and Genesis gaming, but I never owned one. When I was in university, I was renting a different NES game pretty much every week. I really should have spent more time in school.

Re: What console video game systems does everyone still have?
I used to own a NES and a Turbografx 16.
Then I got into computers and haven't looked back.
