Console History

[Antpool84 1,111]

So i've just just been chatting with a colleague about the games consoles we've owned throughout our lives and got me thinking what's everyones personal gaming console history. Mine is:

 

Nintendo Gameboy

Playstation (original grey one)

PS One

Playstation 2

Playstation 3 (original bulky model)

Playstation 3 (smaller 2nd model)

Xbox 360 Elite

Nintendo Wii

PSP (still got as i got it in Japan and can't trade it in 😂)

Playstation 4

Xbox One

Playstation 5

Here's the thing... I was told to stay off my foot and work from home for at least 2 weeks.

 

There was no way I was gonna just watch TV lol. So, I was looking specifically for the backwards compatible version. The last 2 available, which was the MSG edition, was about 50+ miles away. Hence the drive hahaha.

 

Nintendo has some fantastic cult classic games that are almost infinitely replayable... this is why I will probably always have one. Just for those one or two games haha.

 

There's always the Switch if you want to get into it!

[techno 3,511]

My gaming started with 

Zx spectrum 48k

Amiga 500+

Sega megadrive

PlayStation 

Xbox 

PS2 

PS3 

PS4 x 4 including destiny edition and slim 

Psp x2 

Nintendo Wii 

Ps5 maybe one day 😂

 

Oh and I did have one of those things that played football squash and tennis back in the dark ages

Thats definitely a good reason to drive that far lol.

I have been tempted by the switch but affording it is the issue now lol

Totally understand. I originally wanted it because of our work commute. So, that's about an hour each way. There's only so much Sudoku I could play on the train lol.

 

Plus, I wanted to play Zelda and a few others.

 

I was weighing my options of "how many days of train snacks do I not have to buy to get one?" Then, @TurboR56Mini  surprised me with it. 😄

Super thread @Antpool84 ! Whilst i know some have this in their PPRs its always good to see interest in console history to bring them to life again!

 

I always consider my Sega Mega Drive was my first console although arguably my first gaming thing was when I won a Nintendo Gameboy at my primary school raffle. As I got older, I picked up a couple of consoles that I didn't get chance to own when they first came out and we used to have them all in my living room with a bunch of TVs so me and my friends growing up could play through lots of games at the same time. Magical moments.

 

Heres my list in the order I got them (as best I can remember anyway):

 

Nintendo Game Boy

Amstrad CPC 464

Sega Mega Drive

Sony Playstation 1

Sony Playstation 2

Sega Dreamcast

Nintendo GameCube

Microsoft Xbox

Microsoft Xbox 360

Nintendo SNES

Nintendo NES

Nintendo 64

Nintendo Game Boy Advance SP

Sega Game Gear

Sega Master System II [Alex Kidd in Miracle World built in]

Sega Master System II [Sonic The Hedgehog built in]

Sega Mega CD

Sega Saturn

Atari ST 500

Atari Jaguar

Atari Lynx

Nokia N-Gage

Sony PSP

SNK Neo Geo CD

Nintendo Wii

Sony Playstation 4

Sony PS Vita

Microsoft Xbox One

SNK Neo Geo Pocket Color

Sony Playstation 3

Sony Playstation 5

[IRaMPaGe 3,264]

Nintendo

My younger brother had a Gameboy, Sega Saturn, PS2, PS3

 

I had friends that have owned Sega Mastersystem, SNES, N64, Dreamcast, GameCube.

 

So between my brother and friends it fills the gaps I didn't have.

I got to play most consoles to some extend minus the older ones like Spectrum, Amstrad, Jaguar, Atari etc

I think this stuff comes in waves. Theres always games to play but once i find something, I'll sit on eBay and whatnot to try and find the console and some of the games for it. Plus, you kind of need the right space for them so you know you can make best use of them. I really want to get a 3DO and also a Wii U at some stage. Nothing beats physical games/cartridges and using old wired controllers 😎
