To be honest I don't play much but I have bought enough game systems in my life.

Started with

Colecovision
Atarti 2600
" 5200
Nintendo
" 64
PSI
Xbox
Game cube

And now my kids have Wii


What do you have and whats is/was your favorite ?

Currently I have:

Atari 2600
Original Nintendo
N64

I still love Atari!

I still use my 'ol Super Nintendo I got as a kid:D We also have a couple of PS 1's, broken PS2, a Sega Dreamcast, Original Nintendo, Nintendo 64 and Gamecube. I think that's it and I know where half of those are. I'll have to dig 'em out now, you guys peaked my interest. I'd also be interested in finding some of the old systems now like Atari and Intellivision. I had an Intellivision as a kid and it would be cool to have another.

I still have pong, somewhere. Somewhere is my Atari too. I bought PlayStation a couple years ago to play car race games, it is a hoot, guess that is my favorite.

Atari 2600
Original NES
Super NES
N64

I'd say the NES gets the most playtime. :yes:

Slimline Playstation 2. Though I can play pretty much any console up to the N64 on my computer via an emulator.

I have a 2nd Generation PS3, Xbox 360 Elite, N64 and a Wii. One of these days I'll probably pick up an original Nintendo more for nostalgia than anything. Had a ton of fun with that system years ago :yes:

Gameboy Advance sp, Gameboy advance, Xbox 360, Wii, Ps2, Nintendo Ds, Super Nintendo, Turbo Grafx 16, and a vintage nes toploader. Not the frontloader.

Hi Guy's,
I currently have a xbox360 elite in the man cave to a projector, a 360 pro upstairs in the lounge, a PS2 & a N64 in the kids game room.
My original xbox died ages ago and I'll probably get a PS3 when the price drops again. Not in a great rush to get a PS3 as I prefer the 360 for gaming and love xbox live. I also have about 60 HD-DVD's with 2 players so up until recently HD vid has been taken care off.
Obviously going forward a Blu-ray player is needed so as a gamer the PS3 will be the best choice for me (it's game catalogue is getting better as well) but prior to it's recent first price drop it was around NZ$900. It really needs to be about half that to get me onboard. :yes:

Two atari 2600's (black and wood grain)
Intelivition
Three atari computers
Commodore 64
Sega Master System
four Sega Genesis's
two Dreamcasts
four Nes's
Messiah Generation NEX (NES clone)
Two SNES's
N64
Wii
PS2
xBox 360

Then on the portable/handheld side
Game Boy
Game Boy pocket
GB Color
GB Advanced
GB advanced SP
DS (the original)
Virtual Boy
GP2X
PSP

Is my current list. My two favorites have to be the Virtual Boy and the Dreamcast. Although I enjoy all of them. :yes:

I couldn't decide if I should answer this question in this forum or the Vintage Gaming Forum, I guess you know which forum I ended up with. At any rate:

Atari Video Pinball - before cartridge games were invented, seven built in games

Atari 2600 - I even have the SuperCharger for it and most of the cassette tape based games

Atari Lynx - essential for business travel

Sega Satrun

Atari Jaguar - got it solely for the VLM, the games are pretty weak

Sony Playstation - only bought driving games for it

Microsoft Xbox

Only the Xbox gets playtime these days. All the others are boxed up and ignored in the garage. Well, except the Jaguar, it too still resides in the living room - for now.

I got into it pretty late, PS1 about 12 years ago,
6 months ago PS3, can't even look at the PS1 now, too blocky and slow.
I don't play all that often, only when I'm REALLY bored, mainly driving games and guitarhero.
One feature I LOVE is connecting PC to tele, to stream movies without recoding.

I started with Atari then got Colecovision and my C64 which i love like crazy :)

still have PS1, PS2 and PS3. still love playing Time Crisis. fingers don't seem to get tired.

I had these at one time: Atari 2600, Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis
I have these now Atari 5200, Atari 7800 (plays 2600 games as well), Nintendo 64, Sega Dreamcast and Xbox360.
Can emulate these on computer: Atari 2600, 5200 & 7800, Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega Genesis, Nintendo 64 & also arcade games.

Concerning the Atari 2600 and 7800 you can make a regular Sega Genesis controller work by removing the internal chip and connecting the d pad connections to the proper wires along with one of the buttons (A, B or C) to the proper wire. Makes games like asteroids much easier. Of course if Atari had put the button on the correct side (top right) of the joystick then there would be no need to modify a controller. I suspect the same controller can work for the 7800, but you will need to connect two of the buttons instead of one.

My favorite system is my Xbox360 with water cooling and upgraded power supply which consists of a 600 watt computer power supply and one transistor. I play Halo Reach often.

I Have a PS2 and a PS3

Just the other day I asked my son where is the game cube. He said I threw it away. There was nothing wrong with it and I would have gladly given it to someone who wanted it. I was so pissed.

Just when I thought I taught em not to be wasteful...

We have in our household a PS3, XBOX360, and a Wii. My son plays the 60 and PS3, I've got Grand Slam Tennis for Wii which is addictive! ButI might boot him off the PS3 soon to break in PGA Masters :D

two PS3's used primarily to stream movies to
a Wii
several Atari 2600's
an Atari 7800

An Xbox360 (upstairs) and and Xbox360 S2 (downstairs). My wife works for XBL so it comes with the territory.

-D

Very nice. If your xbox360 non slim ever overheats it is an easy fix you can do yourself unless of course free repair/replacement also comes with the teritory :D.

" 5200I dont like the graphics as much on 5200 or 7800.... I think 2600 has the best Graphics :)

All thru my years I have played

Atari 2600 and 7800

Colecovision,Super Nintendo and Commodore64

My favourites being Coleco,Atari 2600 and being able to play arcade games (Early 80s) on my mame emulator......

This is a seriously old topic brought back to life... I have these machines:

Heathkit GD-1380 (basic 4-game Pong-type box)
Unisonic(?) 10-game souped-up, color Pong-type unit
Atari 2600 (made-in-USA power adapter, joysticks without the "Top" label on them)
Atari 5200 (four-controller model, with still-good joysticks)
Atari 7800
Intellivision (with Intellivoice add-on)
Colecovision (with steering/brake controller, and maybe a Roller Controller?)
Nintendo NES
Playstation 3 (still has "other OS" option available)
Xbox 360 (black/slim 4GB version)

At least 75 cartridges, probably more

I liked the 5200 because it used an analog joystick even though it was poorly implemented mechanically and it used multiple buttons. Something that far as I know wouldn't be seen again until the Nintendo 64 at least far as an analog joystick was concerned.

From what I understand from a YouTube video I watched, the 7800 could have been better than the NES if Atari had just installed more RAM as I believe it had better sound capability and also better video capability that was bottlenecked by the amount of RAM.

being able to play arcade games (Early 80s) on my mame emulator......

I had MAME on my XP computer and when I was able to recover the main drive I found that MAME worked on my Windows 10 PC as well.

I rarely play it though.

What I'd love to do is find a vector monitor, a vector generator and get vector MAME up and running so that I can play the vector arcade games.

Thing is the vector arcade games and the Vectrex had 3D graphics long before any console, raster arcade game and computer would be powerful enough for 3D graphics.

I liked the 5200 because it used an analog joystick even though it was poorly implemented mechanically
The Wico aftermarket joysticks for the Atari 5200 were an amazing improvement on the Atari originals. They have mechanical devices in them to switch between self-centering spring-return mode, and fully relaxed analog mode, not the half-return, easily broken rubber membranes on the Atari-built ones.

One 5200 cartridge that took good advantage of the analog joysticks was RealSports Baseball, in which you could "swing" your bat different ways (including bunting) by choosing the motion of the joystick. That cartridge was also very cool for including voice sounds in about the same era as when the Mattel Intellivision required an outboard adapter to achieve that.

I liked the 5200 because it used an analog joystick even though it was poorly implemented mechanically and it used multiple buttons.Hmmm didnt all 3 Atari versions use analogue joysticks?? (They were the best)

The 2600 and 7800 used regular joysticks.

Yup I thought so.....

In my life I had:

Atari 2600 built from local maker CCE
PS1
PS2
Then I sell the PS2. Some time and I started to play in PC.

Consoles or systems I have now:

"Telekit" (a regular brazilian PONG kit using the original IC)
Atari 2600 (from Polyvox, one of licensed from Atari for Brazil)
NES (on emulator**)
PS1 (on emulator**)
Steam - PC with i9 processor and 980Ti video board (since it have VGA output for playing games on my Sony Dell P991)

Since the PS1 era, a fan of Resident Evel series... I only play it on TV with true black calibrated ;-) LCD/LED is no-no, for instance

**emulators are on my notebook with S-Video PAL-M output. For me, is a reason d'être playing these games on old TV from my collection.

I just bought a new "Atari" 2600+ game machine. It looks like an original 2600 but maybe smaller, and it can also use Atari 7800 cartridges. The fun thing is, it has an HDMI output so it will be easy to connect to modern video equipment.

Now, I need to hook it up and then pull out some of my cartridges.

I hope ya have fun buddy!!!!!
