I havent bought a console since my good 'ol nintendo 64, which i still play quite frequently. I am almost strictly a PC gamer because most console games just arent worth it IMO.

I own a Playstation 2. I have a horrible confession to make though.. I use it more as a DVD player than I do as a games console, and I only own one game for it which is Burnout 3. I guess I'm just not really a huge consoles fan.

The only one that's set-up and readily accessible is the Xbox. The rest are in cupboards and boxes, packed away in the dark.

I'm a bitter SEGA fanboy...
Two Megadrives (a mk.1 and a mk.2) and a Dreamcast.

Does anyone have a Saturn?

I liked those things. Never owned one though. Same with the Dreamcast.

Post by: Woomeister on November 19, 2005, 01:31:03 pm
Does anyone have a Saturn?
Yes I do, it's my 2nd commonly used system after my Gamecube.

1x Gamecube (Most used of current gen)
1x XBox (least used of current gen, mostly for Halo/Halo 2)
1x Playstation 2 (What I can't get on the cube I get for this)
2x Dreamcast (1 Jap, mostly used for imports)
1x DS
2X GBA SP (1 Jap)
1X Gameboy (original version)
1x Gamegear
1x Sega Saturn (one of my major systems, I have some really rare and expensive games for it.)
1x N64
1x Mega CD 2
1x Megadrive 1
1x Snes
1x Mastersystem 1

3x PCs (This system, my laptop and my old system downstairs, though games are restricted mostly to my laptop now)

I also used to have a Commodore 16 and 64.

And no I'm not some kind of Nintendo fanboy, except for the Zelda series. I don't plan on preordering a Revoultion anyway.
No I've never owned a Playstation, though I have a few games that I use on my PS2. I don't plan on getting a PSP at all or bothering with a XBox 360, at least until the rest come out. I'd rather have a new PC first :D
Title: Re: What Game Console Do You Own?
Post by: Roanoke on November 19, 2005, 03:04:36 pm
Gamecube, SNES, PS1 & DC. Had xbox, PS2 & N64 when I lived with my brother a little while ago. 2 PCs, need a new one though. Might try and get an Xbox or PS2 on the cheap.
I'll probably wait for a while before getting one of the new consoles. Need a PC first.

In the case of NES's because they're notoriusly prone to failure.

I have 3 NES's (one busted, one being fixed and one working)
A Snes
A Dreamcast
A heavily modified xbox
An original GBA

I have emulators for some of these things, if that counts. My brother has a PSX, PS2 and Xbox, but I don't really care much for consoles.

Post by: Nix on November 19, 2005, 11:58:58 pm
I've only had a NES and SNES untill I got into computers.  Since then I've went through four incarnations of hardware in my computer systems since I started with computers for gaming.  The most fun I've had on a console though was with a dreamcast me and a couple of roomates had "access" to.  We'd load up Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on it and we'd be set for hours.  It was pretty fun, but I never bought into the PSX platform and left nintendo behind with the N(U)64. 
I play NES and SNES games now on my Pocket PC.  Battery sure doesnt last long but it's pretty fun.

I have a Sega Megadrive (16-bit) hidden somewhere. I play it when my computer is broken or away for upgrade.
Other than that, I hate all consoles! If I hear anyone bragging about his Xbosch or somesuch, he's going to get his arse kicked.

Consoles are to me, like Sauron is to Aragorn... A hated enemy...
Title: Re: What Game Console Do You Own?
Post by: Mefustae on November 20, 2005, 02:44:21 am
NES
Sega Megadrive II (Broke it years ago :( )
Gameboy, Gameboy Colour, and Gameboy Adv.
N64
GCN

3 PCs (One ultra-old one from my childhood days, one old one that started making funny sounds and then died, and my current one which is in dire need of a serious upgrade as half my RAM gave out a few days ago and my Graphics Card is starting to get real tetchy)

I guess you could call me a Big-N fanboy, but whatever. Revolution looks cool, but if the funky controller doesn't sit right, i'm going straight for the Xbox360 after the price has come down. Right now, i'm borrowing a mate's Xbox that he's had modded to all hell and back. Not only is it chipped, with a bigger HDD, but it's got emulators with every single SNES and NES title ever made on there, as well as a good number of Sega and N64 games. Plus, most of the best Xbox titles secured safely on the HDD alone. Not exactly the most legal thing in the world, but fun nonetheless...

You can't play a classic game without the correct hardware, namely the control pad. I mean Mario Kart Battle Mode with a keyboard ? hell no.
Title: Re: What Game Console Do You Own?
Post by: Descenterace on November 20, 2005, 08:22:12 am
The only console I have is the PSX. I bought it from a friend for one reason: Silent Hill.
Since then I also picked up Quake 2, Descent 1 and Descent 2 for it as well.

Most of my gaming is done on a PC. The main system now runs Gentoo Linux and WinXP, and the latter is being removed just as soon as I get all my games working on Gentoo.

They usually supports gamepads; you can buy ones that are pretty similar to the originals. But I'm much better with some of those games with a keyboard than I ever was on the original gamepad. Also, one of the SNES games I have is Lemmings 2, which would basically be impossible to play without a mouse. I could never get the DOS version to work, but this one plays great.

1x PS1 (I refuse to call it PSX, simply because I have no idea where the heck the X comes from :p)
1x PS2
1x Genesis (hand-me-down from a cousin when he bought a PS1; it's the first console I owned)
1x N64 (bought used earlier this year, mainly because of OoT, Goldeneye, and the other classics--how can people look at games like these and say that nothing good ever came out of a console? :))
1x Game Boy Color
1x Game Boy Advance SP (gotta love this thing :D)
2x Atari 2600 (from both mom and dad's sides of the family; I don't know about the one, but the other happily plays Super Breakout on a 20-year-old TV back home :))

It's funny; I never owned a Nintendo console until recently, but I think I've always been a fanboy at heart.  Some of my happiest childhood memories occurred at my neighbor's house, playing DKC2 and Super Mario Kart on their SNES for hours. I hope to add a Gamecube to the mix at some point later this year, and if I ever bother to buy one of the next-gen systems, it'll be the Revolution above anything else.

Atari games console (THE console, before they had names)
BBC Micro
Amstrad 464
Amstrad 6128
ZX Spectrum rubberkey
ZX Spectrum 128
NES
SNES - Super Metroid and Super Mario Kart - both excellent excuses for emulation software.
Playstation 1
And various cobbled together 'things' (I wired up the keypad you got with Star Raiders on the Atari so my Oric 1 could read it and then wrote my own games for it ;) )

How is Forza?  I don't have an XBox, I tried the demo for 10 minutes at a store once and it was pretty cool.  And I'm a pretty big fan of Gran Turismo, it seemed like the same sort of game to me.

My collection of consoles(chronologically):

Genesis(not anymore, it was given away :()
Gameboy(original model, with transparent casing 'Play it Loud' deal they had going on)
Gameboy Color(Purple, I think)
Nintendo 64(my favorite)
Gameboy Advance(original with dark screen, in purple because the other colors were sold out when I got it  :wtf:)
Gamecube(excellent hardware, it's unfortunate it wasn't more popular with developers)
Playstation 2(hardware is opposite of Gamecube, it's falling apart, yet everyone loves to make games for this technology disaster  :mad:)
DS(games aren't nearly as good as the GBA, I'm not a huge fan, really)
