It's in the second little blob of stuff I couldn't place in order. When I was at Midway one of the earlier teams I was on, so 2001, after I was there some months a person quit Sega and came over to us. He didn't want his old systems anymore, kind of ticked off at them(slavedrivers like EAwife stuff) and sold his systems. Already having a Nomad and a GG, not able to or wanting to use a 32X I saw the Saturn and went for it. I had a number of games, the ActionReplay 4M+ too, so I could run imports and meatier ones like some Capcom 1on1s like XM vs SF that used it, also my first true taste of SOTNs better Nocturne in the Moonlight, I miss that added stage, boss, and parts to other stages. Totally worth the lack of transparencies and slightly longer loadtimes (also could use Maria and Richter right off too.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did not have a 16 bit console growing up. I went from NES to PSX. I payed them at friends houses, but never my own. I do have SNES, genesis, and Turbo now though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wyansas | 131 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 NES > Genesis > N64 > Dreamcast > 360 > finally a PS3 Never liked my friend's PS1 or 2. N64 carried me from 4th grade through college. It was the same with all my friends wherever I went. They all had an N64 and nothing else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,957 Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 @wyansas No surprise there. N64 was the #1 frat boy college console of the 90s into the early 00s. Because of all the wrestling, sports, racing(kart etc), FPS titles that did the 4P mode it was like the go-to device as it was sturdy, could take the most abuse, and just was easy and fun to drop into immediately being ready with 4 controllers/ports, fast loading (no CD), and tough design against frat boy hits and spills which would obliterate or short a CD system out pretty easy. Second to that, also the go-to on the kids games side for daycares too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DoctorEncore | 3,691 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 This is pretty accurate for me with the Genesis thrown in the mix for some chaos. It went NES -> Genesis -> SNES -> PS and I love them all. My ranking of greatest consoles of all-time is also NES SNES PS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDIRunner | 2,783 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) 2600 - NES - SNES - PS1 - PS2 - PS3 - Wii - PS4 - Wii U - Switch Obviously I own many more consoles, but this list represents the consoles purchased while they were still active and available in stores as opposed to getting them used later after discontinuation or replacement. I personally don't consider myself a fan boy. When I owned an SNES, several of my friends had a Genesis. While I was glad I had the SNES over the Genesis, we never got into arguments about which was better. We were happy we had different systems from each other, because while visiting each other's houses, it was the only chance to play the consoles we didn't own. I never knew anyone who owned more than 1 active system before the PS3/360/Wii era. When I switched from Nintendo to Sony with the PS1, I never regretted the change, but I was still happy to play N64 when visiting friends homes.

Abelardo | 154 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Are we still on topic? Mine would be: NES>Gameboy>SNES>PS>PSP>Wii>DS>PS3>3DS>Switch Picked the PlayStation over the N64 because it had SquareSoft on board and of course Final Fantasy VII, I enjoyed a lot of RPGs late in the SNES lifespan so going for the PS was the right choice. I got the PSP because of the emulators and that it played original Playstation games, the Wii was a gift from my wife (then girlfriend). Sometime later I started collecting videogames and picked up a bunch of consoles, listed only the ones I actuality played a considerable amount of time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tanooki | 4,957 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I'm the same too. The NES was gifted Christmas of 85 with the Gameboy next in 89. SNES was 91 I talked my mom to death to buy it and hold until Christmas, but I lost my cool when she left and shook out my wooden mailbox safe and anything else I could, finding using a calculator I had all the money needed -- more or less threw it at her when she came home in the garage and took the box. After that, the Virtual Boy popped up, paid for it, then N64 too a year later...in that space I got that Pocket when it came out in the plastic case. It was when Sony pulled various layers of Bs along with the costs of ROM chips drove me to the Turbo Duo that I ran with 2 consoles at one time, and after that technically 3 as I got a cheap nomad when they cratered. It was not until the Switch that I was gifted a system again, it came out at the same time about as my b'day (week before) so it was an early gift.

Andy_Bogomil | 815 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 We went from SNES to 64 but ended up getting a used PS1 pretty early on... probably played more PS1 by the end of that gen. I ended up doing the opposite on the next gen as I bought a PS2 and then a GC used down the line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LutherDestroysTheGond | 690 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 (edited) Neat to see the different timelines. For home consoles, my mom had an Atari from before we were born that we all played. After that was: NES>SNES>PS1>N64>Dreamcast>Gamecube>Saturn>Turbo>Wii U Handhelds are all over the place for my history Edited July 1, 2021 by LutherDestroysTheGond 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThePhleo | 2,196 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 NES > SNES & GB > N64 & GBC > PS1 & GBA > PS2 & DS > PSP for me. I think after that I was exclusively a PC gamer from Christmas '03 up until 2008 when I got a PS3. In 2010 I started collecting games and now the lines are just blurry. While I had a PS2, my younger brothers had a Gamecube > Xbox > Xbox 360. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a3quit4s | 4,131 Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 NES SNES N64 GC and then to XBOX. I didn't get a PS2 until later when they had the slim model for cheap. I think I may have had a PSP before a PS2. Xbox 360 then ps3, Xbox one then PS4 and the same with series x and ps5. Sprinkle in the Nintendo handhelds pretty much when they were released. During N64 I got into pc gaming too. Team Fortress and CounterStrike 1.6 were my jam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was debating wether to get a Saturn or PlayStation. I really liked Virtua Fighter 1 and 2 so I was real close to getting one, but then I went to some Nintendo event where I played SM64 on a japanese console and it blew my mind. I waited for the N64. 6-7 months after that I came to my senses and bought a used PS1 lol. I liked both, but let's get real, the PS1 had way more games. My best memories of N64 include Wave Race 64, NBA Hang Time, Golden Eye, Shadows of the Empire, Ocarina, Turok, Mario Kart 64 and Star Fox 64. Was I a fanboy? Maybe, I don't know. But to me Nintendo had taken a weird turn then and there. It ended up working for them in the long run, sort of becoming the Apple of video games. But for a while there, it felt disappointing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintegageo | 582 Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 The Wii U is the only Nintendo home console that I haven't owned. I've owned each Playstation generation. So I wouldn't say I was a traitor to Nintendo, they just had a partner. Zero XBox consoles though cause screw them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
