what old systems did everyone own here?

[talem]

What old systems did you guys actually buy? I still have a  Intellivision in my gurage with like 3 grocery bags full of games , think the consoles broken though. I had like one of the girst ataris , super NES ,Nes , original gameboy, sega, sega cd , sega 32x, n64 and such. I think i like the old systems better than the newer ones.

[abrannan]

I used to have (but sold and am now kicking myslef) Intellivision, Commodore 64, and Super Nintendo.

NES, gameboy color,  Sega Genesis.

[DaveMMR]

Colecovison (still have it), NES (power supply exploded... no really it did), SNES, Genesis, that gaud-awful Sega CD (bought it when it first came out, I might have been happier if I only paid $50 bucks instead of $300), and from there pretty much all the newer systems ('cept Saturn and Virtual Boy ).   EDIT: Almost forgot my good ole C-64

[Floyd10]

oh, wait... I did have a VB

[abrannan]

oh, wait... I did have a VB

Yeah, I guess I have to 'fess up to my VB, also.  Still have it and my original Gameboy, too.

[maraxle]

Atari 2600 Jr, NES, SNES, PS2, GBA SP.  That's it.  Well, I also have a TI-99/4a, which is more of a computer, but it uses cartridges.  

I think the PS2 & GBA are going to be the last consoles I buy.  I just can't get into the newer games.  I liked GTA3, and to a lesser extent Vice City, and the girlfriend likes DDR2 Max, but other than that the PS2 just collects dust.  I haven't touched the GBA since January, and would love to sell it, but the girlfriend wants me to keep it around for trips and such.

[Goz]

I have managed to keep all of my game systems since the early days. They are in no particular order.

Fairchild chanel F
Collecovision
Atari 2600
Vectrex
Genesis - x32 - cd
NES
Jaguar
SNES
3DO
dreamcast


All were very fun to play.

I have come pretty close to gutting one or two of them to use as a case for an mini-itx system.

[TalkingOctopus]

I have sworn off videogame systems now that I have my own arcade and that I play PC games.  I probably own a smaller collection of systems than most people on the board.
- Intellivision
- NES
- SNES
- N64 - (This system made me angry at nintendo.  After the first few years, I thought there were no new good games)
- Dreamcast (I bought this one when it was new - soul caliber sealed the deal)

The PS2 looks really tempting right now w/ its huge game library and cheap price.

[Zapper]

[Edgedamage]

Did some dumpster diving last weekend. And found a NES that was in the box it had everything minus the game. It even had the light gun. I think it was from the first year because the box has the mattel logo on it.

Sega Genesis -- Still have it
PS
PS2
XBOX

It's odd but I've never owned any type of Nintendo system.

[MinerAl]

My dad insisted that an Atari (2600) was a horrible idea (although we'd had a Sears Pong console with little sliders instead of knobs).  So in 1980 he bought a TRS-80 Color Computer, and paid the $300 to have it boosted from 16k RAM to 64k Ram.  This allowed me to pester him for cartridges for it, and write programs like:

10 PRINT "HELLO ";
20 GOTO 10

[Trenchbroom]

Over the years I've owned and heavily used the following:

Coleco Telstar 2
Atari VCS
Atari 2600 (the updated version from early '80s)
Atari 2600 jr.
Colecovision
VIC 20
C-64
C-128
NES
Macintosh IIix
Genesis
Genesis III (the Majesco version)
SNES
Game Gear
PS1 (forever PSX to me)
Virtual Boy
Xbox

For awhile I fancied myself a collector so I had the following computers in various states of repair and disrepair (until a fire wiped them all out about 3 years ago:

IBM PC
IBM PCjr
Apple IIe
Apple IIc
Coleco Adam
TI 99 4/A
Tandy CoCo 3
Apple Macintosh

[danny_galaga]

This allowed me to pester him for cartridges for it, and write programs like:

10 PRINT "HELLO ";
20 GOTO 10

wow!! I wrote EXACTLY the same program in highschool! what are the odds of that!
only normally it wasn't the word 'hello' that filled the screen...

[greywolf22]

In no particular order:

Tandy CoCo 1
Atari 2600
NES
N64
Dreamcast

[stuzza]

[JAMMA Guy]

I've noticed that no one so far was lucky enough to own a Neo Geo AES system.

I know I tried like crazy to get my parents to get me one  

They were ok with the system price but the $200+ per game ... they were like hell will freeze over first before that happens  

[namzep]

Atari 2600
NES
Sega Genesis

About to get a Sega Dreamcast (so I can add a few games like Crazy Taxi to my Mame cab, whenever I get around to finishing it)

You know, I don't even remember wanting one.  I never saw (and still don't) see why it's so great.  I mean, sure, the cartridges were huge, but if I remember correctly, it's only because they didn't compress their compiled code in any way.  Whatever minor speed benefit you get from that doesn't justify an extra $150+ per cartridge, in my opinion.

[ErikRuud]

The thing with the NeoGeo system was that the cartrideges were the same ones that worked in the arcade machines.  You were suppoosed to buy it so you could play the arcade versions of the games at home instead of bad ports of the games.

Considering how popular MAME is, they probably had the right idea.  They just had a really bad price point, and then the next generation of consoles came out.
