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.

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 )
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 )
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.

Currently, just a couple of PC's. In my life,

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  )
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  )
DS(games aren't nearly as good as the GBA, I'm not a huge fan, really)

GameCube.....The only thing that had what I wanted at the time I bought it...
