I'm interested in your vidya, Everypony. Here's all the consoles I own, off the top of my head. Perhaps I missed stuff. If so, I'll edit it in or comment again later. Gameboy Pocket - My first ever games console was a Gameboy Pocket. I got it when I was about three. Started gaming so early because my entire family, bar from my Farther, happened to be gamers. However, being a kid, I didn't take care of my Pocket, and unfortunately, the switch broke when I dropped the bloody thing. Had to take out the battery whenever I wanted to turn it off. So I had to buy another Pocket, take it apart, and switch the switches so it worked properly again. Worth it. And now I have two pockets. Gameboy Colour - Everyone has one of these beasts, right? Gameboy - I've got a yellow Gameboy, and a Grey one. Gameboy Advanced - I got a white one. Unfortunately, it's now yellow. Gameboy Advanced SP - Scratched to buggery. I wish I took better care of my stuff when I was a kid. Gameboy Micro - This thing was so tiny. (The only gameboy I don't own is the Gameboy light. It was only released in Japan, so I'd have to ship it over.) Wonderswan Colour- I got a Final Fantasy one. It's special because it has a grey figure in the corner. When I first looked at it though, it just looked like a scratch. But no matter. I don't have many games on it. They're all in Japanese, see? Got one or two good Klonoa games though. Doo bee, ba doo bee, ba doo, Wahoo! DS Lite - Skipped the original DS, since it was ugly as sin. Might go back and fetch it some time. DSi - New features are welcome, even if I barely use 'em. DSi xL - Because who wouldn't want a gigantic DS? PSP 2000 and 3000 - The 1000 was bought by me. It was nice, comfortable. The 2000 was later given to me. The 3000 appeared out of nowhere, but then, unfortunately, my 1000 went walk about. Puck Monster - Not so much a console. This chunky git of a handheld was a pretty fun game where you used a small joy stick to move a puck monster around, dodging ghosts and eating pellets. Basically, pac man. Got a big scratch on the screen, which does my head in. I think that's all my Portables. Here, have my Homes. Nes - Given to me by my brother when it was on its last legs. It doesn't work any more unfortunately, so it lives in the attic now. Maybe I'll try fixing it up. Mega Drive - To be honest, got it quite recently. Always been a Snes sorta guy. Had some great games on it though. Snes - Such a good looking console. not the American version though. The American version was uuuugly. P I still buy snes games, even though they're ridiculously expensive sometimes. People think that Retro and Vintage mean "RARE" and "L@@k". I hate some Ebayers. Playstation 1 - Obviously, I was brought up during the era of the Playstaton, so I have my fondest memories with this grey monstrosity. Klonoa, Spyro, Crash Bandicoot, medieval... These were happy days indeed. Playstation 2 - Man, I've been through about five of these. Just kept getting Disc Read errors. I'm willing to bet that they're easy to fix, but PS2's are so dang cheap, it's just easier to buy new. Xbox - Obviously, Fable and Halo made me get an Xbox. Shame that it had few good games I couldn't get elsewhere though. Wii - Everyone has a Wii. It had some pretty good games, though the over-use of motion support is unfortunate. Xbox 360 - I only got it for console exclusives. I didn't get a PS3 because, apart from Last of Us which came out late in the PS3's life, nothing exclusive to PS3 interested me. PC - My main connection to the gaming world today, I'm part of the PC gaming master race. I haven't been able to update my Retro Vidya console collection in a while, due to having bugger all money. I'm thinking of buying a few First and Second gen consoles... I'm considering getting a Dreamcast too. Had some rad games. Chu Chu Rocket anyone? A CD-i Would be nice. AHAHA no. I might take pictures later on this week, if I can be arsed. Lets hear about your console collection.
I have a massive pile of old rack servers. Some of them are SPARC machines. Those count as game consoles, right?
Currently in use: Playstation 3 Playstation 4 Wii U Nintendo 3DS XL Well, to be fair, my Wii U isn't exactly in use right now, but i still have it installed. Not in use: Game Boy Nintendo DS lite Nintendo DSi Nintendo DSi XL Xbox Xbox 360 Nintendo Wii DS lite's touch screen no longer responds properly, and the DSi's speakers are wrecked. Hence my need to keep buying new ones. Once owned, but since lost: Sega Genesis Game Boy Color Game Boy Advance Game Boy Advance SP Gamecube Playstation Playstation 2
In (rough) order of when I/my family obtained them: Atari 2600 NES Sega Genesis SNES PS1 PS2 Game Cube N64 X-Box Game Boy Advance SP X-Box 360 Wii PS3 Nintendo DS Lite PSP Nintendo 3DS XL Still have all of these, and all are still operational except for the NES and Genesis. With those, it's either the power supplies or RF units that need to be replaced.
NES in the attic SNES sitting in a box with no power cord N64 sharing the box with the SNES GameCube sits on a shelf A Wii that I sometimes bring out to play Brawl with friends Gameboy Color on the shelf GBA is lost DS sits on the shelf 3DSXL in my laptop bag PSone in the box PS2 that is occasionally used PS3 is regularly used XBox hiding somewhere in the house XBox 360 broke Had a 3DO, but it was given away Had a yellow Gameboy, but it's been missing for sometime A computer that can emulate most of these and many more at the low cost of free
Hmm...Most of you guys have stuff I'd love to have... In no particular order: - Playstation 3 - Playstation 2 - Nintendo Wii - Nintendo DS Lite - Sega Mega Drive - Sega Dreamcast I like to trot my stuff out for BUCK and I'm heading to MCM soon to try and add a console (or maybe too. I have my tails crossed for either a Master System or a SNES...Maybe a ZX Spectrum?).
Gameboy coulour- in purple. Gameboy Advanced SP- in black PS2 Nintendo DS (the original)- One of the hinges is broken and the charger is lost Nintendo Wii Nintendo DSi- in matte black- Charger is lost. Xbox 360- currently the main console I use all the time Im thinking about getting an Xbox one as the only PS4 game that I am somewhat interested in is The Order 1886 and thats all.
Game Cube (Lid Broken, In a cupboard Wii U (In my living room) Gameboy Colour (Accompanying my Game Cube in the cupboard) Gameboy Advance (Two of them (A blue one and a tribal one) in the same cupboard) DS (Also in that cupboard, top screen is broken, but still works) 3DS (At my Bedside) Xbox (Two broken ones in my Wardrobe, the laser must've gotten damaged on both, they couldn't read any disks. Also another one in my Brother's Wardrobe) Xbox 360 (Behind my TV, don't use it) PlayStation (In the same cupboard as my Gamecube/Gameboys/DS) Sega Mega Drive(Sega Genesis, either works. In the attic.)
I play one or two games on the PC, but not frequently as my PC is good only for browsing and using Word/Powerpoint/Excel. I share a Gameboy Color, a Gameboy Advance, a Wii and an Xbox 360 with my brother, so those mostly stay at my parent's house. I have my own PS3, and next time I get a console I'm thinking of picking up my own Xbox One (since owning two Sony consoles just doesn't feel right). That could be in over a year from now, though, so I have no real idea what I'll be doing.
Hmm... I'd love a Dreamcast right now, and an N64'd be great too. But were there really any good games on Gamecube? I just can't shift the feeling I haven't missed out on anything much. (I mean, I know I've got a Wii, but playing games on a different system obviously isn't the same as owning the actual thing. I'd rather have a little cube sat on my dresser. Bet you can get 'em cheap now too) Aww boy. These things're cooool. Too pricey for me at the mo, tho :O I'm considering getting a Master System myself right now. The Snes is, believe it or not, one of my favourite consoles. So obviously I'm gonna say that's a worth while buy. :33 - - Auto Merge - - I'm unlikely to bother with a current gen home console. Nothing's released yet which interests me anywho, maybe that'll change by next year though. If anything, I'd get a Wii U and PS4 at the moment. Really need a 3DS.
PlayStation 2 PlayStation 3 PlayStation 4 PlayStation Vita Xbox Xbox 360 PC Nintendo Game-boy Advance SP (Can't hold a charge anymore.) Nintendo DS and a Nintendo DSI XL (Missing with my damned AA:T&T in it!)
Ahem... Metroid Prime Series, Luigi's Mansion, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Mario Kart Double Dash, Super Mario Sunshine, The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess (bit of a cheat but oh well), Metal Gear Solid, Eternal Darkness, Wario World, Animal Crossing, SSX Tricky, Pokemon Colosseum. I can think of plenty. And this is just off the top of my head.
At some point, my urge to play the next few Halo games will overcome me. It is only a matter of time.
Hmm... I have played some of the Metroid Prime games, wasn't too keen if I'm honest. I wish they'd just go back and make an amazing-looking 2-dimensional platformer. Have Twilight Princess for Wii, love the Metal Gear series, but I thought the only exclusive MGS game for Gamecube was a remake of the original... Which I own. The SSX games were released for playstation, and I own a few of 'em, too. I've played Colosseum, but, like the Metroid Prime series, it didn't really interest me a whole lot. Still, I must admit, there are games for it I have heard are pretty fantastic. I definitely want to play Luigi's mansion and Melee. Wind Waker's a must-play, too. I played Double Dash around a friend's house once, it is pretty hilarious on Multiplayer. Ooh, Super Monkey Ball was pretty fun. I wouldn't mind playing Paper Mario, and F Zero GX...
Tales of Symphonia, Baten Kaitos, Skies of Arcadia, Sonic Adventure DX, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, Pokemon XD, Pikmin, Pikmin 2, Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance, Soul Calibur 2 (with Link), Viewtiful Joe, Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door, Prince of Persia, Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles (yes I think that was a good game). On topic: NES SNES Game Boy Game Boy Color Game Boy Advance Game Boy Advance SP Sega Genesis Sega Game Gear Nintendo 64 PlayStation 2 GameCube Nintendo DS Lite PlayStation Portable Nintendo Wii PlayStation 3 XBOX 360 Nintendo 3DS Gaming PC

Home Consoles: Atari (owned by parents, not really mine) NES (doesn't work anymore. =( ) SNES Nintendo 64 GCN Wii Wii U PlayStation 2 PlayStation 3 Handhelds: Gameboy Gameboy Pocket (broken) Gameboy Color Gameboy Advance Gameboy Advance SP (broken) DS (broken) 3DS PSP As you may have noticed, I was quite obsessed with owning every single revision up to the DS. I suppose this would be because the DS's release coincided with a large change of interests for me... I grew up, and instead of games and video game consoles, I became more into clothes and musical instruments. =P Hate to use the words 'grew up', but for me, that is what happened. Obviously, I still keep up with video game systems, but only really for the franchises I have always loved (Mario, Pokemon, Zelda, Animal Crossing, etc.). It's a casual hobby for me now.
