Not a bad idea, might do that over the weekend and add to the OP.

What would be best? Consoles people have owned over time or just the ones they've kept?

Was pretty much an Xbox fanboy in the Xbox/PS2 days. Purely because of Halo. There was nothing on PS2 that came anywhere near to being as good as that game, imo. But although I bought a PS3, again I rarely bought any games for it. Functioned more as a blu-ray player.

The recent 3DS purchase scratched that new console itch for now but looking at that list just makes me realise how much it's slowed down in recent years. I'll need another one soon!

The PlayStation's the only console I've bought twice. I sold my launch model to buy my first PC in '96, and bought another one later that year second-hand. I was glad when PS1 piracy took off soon after, because I was putting what little I earned into running one of these:

I was saving up for and dreaming of a Mito 125, but I wasn't getting very far with money, so I bought a Nintendo 64 with GoldenEye in the end.

Yeah, I was very much a fanboy, with capital letters. And the pressie was perfect

The Wii U has been the most disappointing console I've ever bought I think though, even SM3DW has seriously unimpressed me which is weird as I adore Galaxy and SMW etc etc sooo much.

That's a shame, 3DW is the one that might have tipped me over the edge of a purchase, but with a baby on the way I can't really justify it. But if a new Zelda comes out I may not be able to keep things that way, although I'm still working through Skyward.

I'd entirely forgotten about that.

I don't really remember a great deal of what I played on it, to be honest. Snake and a Centipede game seem to ring bells, but I really cut my gaming teeth on the Commodore 64. So many good memories from playing on that.

Impossible Mission surely?

It's the only cart I remember out of the one I had.

Wacky Waiters was a good craic too.

edit: I always get those words the wrong way round up.

Dark Soldier

The only cart I remember from my Atari (T'was a 2600) is Cookie Monster Munch, which I fricking loved at that age.

Never played that, but I do remember Pacman (which I thought was great at the time), Pole Position, Frogger, Combat and Kaboom!

Well that is actually Mission Impossible, isn't it. I certainly played Impossible Mission on the C64. That was fab.

No shit on the former.

Only one other PC Enginer so far. Not surprising I suppose, but it was a rather lovely machine.

yeah - even type-ins were rare.

Ocean did a decent port of Hunchback that I played a lot of, and there was a good shmup called The Ultra. Can't remember much else though - I did a fair bit of coding on it - writing simple games in BASIC like Yahtzee and Video Poker.

The keyboard was far better and the hires mode didn't suffer from attribute clash the way the Spectrum did - pity it never caught on. Apparantly there was a fire at the factory and all stock was lost in the run up to Christmas and they missed that critical sales window and it never recovered.

It did rather well in France for some reason....the firmware iwas compatible with PRESTEL and the French equivalent so maybe that was one reason. The follow up was called the Atmos and it had a gorgeous "proper" keyboard and a revised version of the ROM.
