Different topic different thread. For systems I have: Intellivision Intellivision II Atari 2600 Atari 7800 Nintendo Master System Adapter for Genesis to play Super Nintendo Genesis N64 PS1 GameCube PS2 Dreamcast Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One Tons and tons of games with too. Before I moved I used to have them all hooked up with switchers to play on the tv. Also had a coax adapter to hook up INtellivision I and II and Atari. But never hooked them back up. This thread just got me thinking I'm going to do that and maybe start picking up a collectible game a month or so to add.

The 7800 was the first console I owned, followed by the NES, which I still have. I've been tempted to get another 7800 just to have it, but they are a bit pricey.

I would love to find a Genesis. That was probably the first system that I was actively involved with as far as buying/renting games. We had a NES and I still remember the day Dad brought it home after work one random day, but the Genesis is when I started becoming obsessed.

I've had every PlayStation and Xbox (sans XBone) and unfortunately am limited to the Classics on the PSN to get my PS1 and PS2 fix. Recently I've been playing through the Metal Gear Solid series.

Ashleigh still has her N64 and SNES, though. Last Thanksgiving we busted out some GoldenEye, Mario Kart, and Tony Hawk.

Atari also had a 5200. 2600 was the first and the 7800 was 8 bit like Nintendo but no where near the specs Nes had. I don't know anyone that had the 5200. I wish the kids these days had to go back and play our old crap. But, it was amazing at the time! Atari 2600 I have, not wooden front Spoiler Atari 2600, wooden front, don't have......yet Spoiler Atari 5200, I do not have.........yet Spoiler Atari 7800 Spoiler Intellivision Spoiler Intellivision II Spoiler Intellivision Astrosmash!! My favorite, along with Night Stalker Spoiler Night Stalker Intellivision Spoiler

Atari 2600 my step dad has and I think the first video game I ever played was pong. The other 2 had never seen before. Those Intellivision system look really odd even more so the golden one. I don't ever get rid of old systems or games because I like to go back and play them from time to time even though I have a back lot of like 40 games lol. These are the consoles I have.


SNES
GAMECUBE
Wii
Wii u
PS4

I've got a Genesis at my parent's house. Pretty sure it still works. PM me if you're interested.

I work at Goodwill. We've been getting a ton of older consoles lately that have been donated. Lots of SNES, NES, Genesis, even N64 and a couple of 360s. Got lucky on Saturday night and was able to score a Dreamcast with 4 controllers plus the fishing rod controller for $50 and it works! Still had Fire Pro D which I had imported years ago. Popped in the DCX then Firepro and it booted right up. Now just need some VMUs and a VGA box.

I'll try to dig up the rules somewhere, assuming you are over 21, otherwise, I will not. But we had the best Drinkin' Fishin' game ever using the rod and Sega Marine Fishing. Oh man, it a trouble. And soooo much fun.
