fuck! Hard topic! Let me see if i remember all

ZX -> Game and Watch (tons of them) -> Atari 2600 -> GameBoy -> NES -> SNES -> GBP -> MegaDrive -> Game Gear -> Sega Saturn -> NeoGeo Pocket -> GBC -> Nintendo 64 -> PSX (sucks played MGS and some other and sold it) -> Dreamcast -> GBA -> GameCube -> GBA SP -> NDS -> iPhone -> Xbox360 -> Wii (sold it too, shit console) Dingoo ->

Never had Master System...  And of course in between PC :D IBM PS/1, 286, 386, 486, Pentium I, Pentium II, Celeron Tulatin, AMD XP, AMD can't remember, MBP, MBP....

Nowdays I'm trying to regain my collection becasue my Game Gear was stolen from my house, my Mega Drive hasn't no joypads (thanks to cool housekeepers who steal shit) and it's pretty much it. Of course I'm not going to try to get the games i've lost / borrowed cause for GB i had like 100 carts, MD 50 carts, Sega Saturn 80 games, SNES 40... NES 50... just got some at least i have SMW and Zelda for SNES!

Awww I miss the old days :D

This is my computer history:
Commodore 64 --> Commodore Amiga 500 --> Commodore Amiga 1200 --> PC with Windows 95 -->iMac

and this is my console history:
the first portable Atari Lynx --> Sega Megadrive --> GameBoy -->  PSX --> Nintendo 64 --> DreamCast --> PS2 --> GameCube --> XBOX --> XBOX360 --> PS3

But i bought and play every game system from Nes to Snes, from PSP to NDS, from Pc Engine to Bandai Playdia...

SNES -> Pico -> Genesis -> N64 -> PS1 -> GCN -> DS -> 360 -> Wii {fast-forward to 2010} Retro Duo -> GenMobile -> FC-16 Go -> JXD S5110

Yeah... I kinda stopped caring about the new and popular systems when I realized clones genuinely make me happier. I really like how clones are similar to toys in the way they're built and designed. It makes them more fun to collect. My first experience with the Retro Duo really brought back the "spark" in video games, for me.

If you're wondering about the SNES and PS1, those were originally my sister's, but they became mine as she never really used them that much. I really like them both, tons of great games, a lot of which I still don't physically own yet. Not listed are the PS2 and PSP - again my sisters, but I never got into them as much as I did the SNES and PS1. Especially not the PSP.

Mine goes something like this (in chronological order):

- Atari 2600
- NES
- SNES
- PC (DOS)
- N64
- PSOne
- PC (Windows) [I discovered emulation at this time, and fell in love with it.]
- PS2
- Gaming PC (a proper one, bought in January ).
- Android handheld to be determined in the *very* near future.

My favorites were SNES, PSOne and PCs in general. Also, thanks of emulation, I have a soft spot for Amiga games, even though I never owned one.

I'm more inclined to retrogaming, though I play a number of modern games, but exclusively for PC - Newer consoles came at a time when I had little to no money, so I missed out. Eventually, when things got easier and I had the opportunity to "catch up", the newer consoles didn't appeal to me enough to make the investment, compared to a PC.

I do sneak a game or two on newer consoles once in a while: when friends come over, they sometimes bring their consoles, for a "game weekend".

Man you guys make me feel like a little kid  ;)
PS1: I was very little, my Dad played just as much, Driver and Zoombombafo were amazing
PS2: I had an insane amout of games on this concsle. I got  a sega collection, and Mega man collection that began my retro gaming.
Wii: It was cheaper, so I got it, and at the time we didn't have a HD TV. It turned me into more of an nintendo fan. Also the virtual concsle was preety cool for some retro gaming.
PS3: Had some really good games, but probally my most disapointing concscle, though I still like alot of games on it.

Meanwhille I had portables too: I had some crappy handheld, then I realized I wanted some GBA in my life.
GBA: I loved that thing, I didn't have too many games, but I started liking more RPGs, and 2d platformers because of it.
DS: Was an awesome handheld, but it broke on me, and I didn't play it as much as the GBA games for some reason.
PSP: My uncle gave me this, I managed to emulate some games, but it quickly broke :(

Nowadays I like looking into the history of videogames with sweet concscles emulated like Atari's and such  :)
