I have every Nintendo console (except Virtual Boy) and handheld (original Game Boy, atomic purple Game Boy Color, glacier GBA, cobalt GBA SP, original DS, cobalt DS lite, aqua blue 3DS, black New 3DS XL). I also have a PlayStation 2.

If you'd count the mini systems, I have the NES Classic, SNES Classic, Genesis Mini, and the Genesis Mini 2.

Here is my massive list:

The original Nintendo. The end. :trazz: (Still have that thing around somewhere.) edit: Okay technically I did also get the updated replacement for that one, but that hardly counts as having a second system.

The original Sega and an early Playstation were around here at one time during their own era, and an Atari before them all, but they weren't mine. I've always been more of a PC person.

Quite a few of those were weird acquisitions when I worked at a video game store back in '98 or so. The real truth of my family/growing up "video game life" was the Atari, the NES & SNES and then the Playstations. And the PS4 almost doesn't count - I got it and have probably put a months worth of game hours into it and that's it.

I only used the Xbox One S as an early 4k player and then gave it to our daughter who basically bricked it within 3 months. :lol:

Started with the original Gameboy in 1990 which was my only gaming system until 1995 when we got a SNES, our first home console. It was late in its lifespan but we played the hell out of it. Financially, those were difficult times for our family so other gaming systems were out of the question until 2002 when my brother and I bought a PS2 together. That's what started my heavy gaming 20s, I got a GameCube a bit later, then one of the first gen DS systems, a PSP, an XBox 360 (which went on to become the system I played on the most), a PS3, a Wii, two 3DS, and finally a WiiU.

All my 20s and my early 30s I'd play games for hours and hours, sometimes getting up two hours before work to start playing in the early morning. I sometimes wonder how I managed to get anything done back then.

For several reasons , I completely quit gaming in 2014 without ever having any regrets about it. Looking back, it feels strange, we're talking about maybe 15 years of my life in which gaming was a huge thing. And then it just ended.

This in some ways very much so reflects my experiences too...... I still have Uncharted 3 in the shrink wrap for the PS3. Never opened it - the original release, not the Greatest hits.

I've never owned an Atari VCS, but would like to know if it was some kind of childhood standard between 1977 and 1983, the same way the NES would later go?

Did most families with children even have a home video hame console back then?

I have seen so many commercials for the console.

Way back in my Elementary school days, I used to play on one of those Atari 2600 game consoles that a babysitter owned. I thought that was one cool toy.

A Genesis and a PS2 are the main consoles that I own.
I still miss my old N64. (It burned out.)

Atari was definitely an entertainment "movement" when I was a kid. But looking back on it, I'd say that the 2600 was sort of embraced mostly by the 30 somethings of that era as a technological achievement. Something that did more than just "pong". Obviously I was pretty young, but I have very clear memories of playing "Berzerk", "Pac-Man", "Asteroids" and that awful "Indiana Jones" game with my Dad at the time.

And my generation - Gen X, we saw our parents using it and we played Pac-man on it and so on. But the real game changer was the NES a few years later and that was a different kind of movement because it appealed to the "me-generation" of pop culture kids - Gen X rather than our parents.

Magnavox Odyssey- this was my first console growing up and have tons of great memories with it as a little kid. I played Tennis (pong clone),Prehistoric Safari (light gun game) and Basketball.

Atari 2600 - This is the console I had most of my childhood, I loved it, played tons of Pac-Man, Adventure, asteroids, space invaders, pitfall, joust.

Intellivision II - I got this one in my teen years, since I was older and more mature I played mostly sports games and they were great, 100x more realistic than on the atari. Some of my favorite games included SNAFU, boxing, Frog Bog.

I still own my atari 2600, sadly my Odyssey got stolen in college and my intellivision stopped working like 10 years ago, but I used to play it every day so it lasted a long while. I did want to buy a NES but since I was paying for my college loans I never got around to it.

The Atari VCS had better sports stars

But the Intellivision had better sports games:

My brother had a ZX Spectrum at some point but I never even saw it. Considering he's 7 years older than me, it's possible he no longer had it by the time I started to play games.
