Atari 400 ✋
I had an 800. Had the cassette tape media drive and some game for it, but could never get it working.
Also had that awful ET game.
I recall writing a screensaver in basic and letting it run overnight.
Ouya!
No? Okay, Game Boy!
The revolution will be televised!
I still play towerfall, and occasionally the amazing frog?
I kid, I kid… actually I am obsessed with konsole
Konsole sounds like the name KDE would use for a home gaming device, or their terminal emulator :3
I’m obsessed with the OG xbox and 360, oh how the mighty have fallen.
The 360 was so good
red ring of death
Yeah if you never got the red ring of death it was the best console.
Its DRM was more flexible than we have ever or will ever see on a console again.
- The licensing worked similar to xbox one but you could transfer all licenses at once instead of just when you downloaded a game.
- You could install any disc or digital game to internal or external drives and could transfer it between any pc/console. The discs then functioned as physical licenses to play disc-based games.
The avatar system was the gaming metaverse we all wanted and it got abandoned before it could reach its full potential.
- Avatar awards as skins you could show off in multiple games!? Amazing.
- indie devs could take advantage of the avatar system to enhance their games
The library was the peak that xbox ever had to offer. Uniqueness and passion still showed through in AAA games of this era, and 360 had the majority of quality AAA games. PS3 still managed, but nostalgia for the 360 days is what is still keeping the xbox brand alive today.
The online multiplayer in games of this era still celebrated and enabled community/random encounters with voice chat. This doesnt happen in modern games, nobody is in the game chat anymore. I am not a fan of paid multiplayer so i dont pay anymore, but back in the day, it was worth it for the shenanigans and connections we made.
It was not my first (this would have been the Atari 2600), but the console that still has a very special place in my heart is the Atari Jaguar
My first console was an Atari 2600. Well that was my family’s first.
My own fist was the original NES. Saved up my paper route money to buy it.
My first was the 5200 and my favorite game was Joust. Killing the pterodactyl was the highlight too.
The real question, did you play paperboy on it?
Oddly enough, I did not.
Does the Offspring come to mind when thinking of the Dreamcast? I can’t get it out of my head now.
Crazy Taxi had them on the soundtrack and it was a Dreamcast game… 🤔
Fuuuuck I rented that game so much back then. If it wasn’t available every other weekend at my local video store it was 100% my fault.
Yep and a damn fine game at that! Atleast that I can remember.
It’s one of the few racing type games I will spend money on at an arcade if I see the machine even though I own a Dreamcast and a copy of the game at home.
Ya ya ya ya yaaaaa! Day after day…
I can’t not hear “SON OF WAR” instead of “It’s all I want” in that song 🤣
Haha like a war cry while ploughing through pedestrians. Son of waaar
I need to know more about this.
The song “All I Want” was prominently featured in the game Crazy Taxi, I believe.
Does the Offspring come to mind when thinking of the Dreamcast?
Ya ya ya ya ya
Ha it’s me. Wow.
Dreamcast was the best.
Ngage, what is this even?
You’ll never guess mine.
N60?
ye
That is just inviting people to start throwing out names of lesser-known systems. Can we narrow it down to Western (including South America), Eastern European, or South-east Asian before we start?
Where’s my ps2 heads at
Yes!! Still never been beat.
I grew up in the SNES vs Genesis war and I only knew one person with a Genesis and even they thought the SNES was better.
Genesis owner in the 90s here. Yes. My dad did not know video games. I said I like Mario. I wanted to play RPGs and Super Mario.
My dad went to the store, asked what I assume is some 19 year old Sega fanboy which console was the best, and got told to buy the Genesis.
On a positive note, the Genesis Sonic games were pretty cool, and so was Jurassic Park. So, it’s not like Genesis sucked. It’s just…MARIO!!! I WANT MARIO!!!
Eventually I got an SNES, but by then it was 1996. I immediately got Mario Paint, Super Mario Allstars + Super Mario World (in one cart), Legend Of Zelda Link to the Past, and Mario Kart.
Eventually I’d get Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario RPG, Batman Forever, and some Star Wars game.
Flea markets in the 90s were the best.
Growing up I had a Genesis because I wanted to play Sonic 2. I remember 3 of my friends also having a Genesis, only 1 that I remember had a SNES and he was also one of the 3 with a Genesis. There were 2 that I remember stuck with NES, 1 played on his family’s PC (ooh fancy), and 1 I don’t think had any video game systems. The first real Nintendo fanboy I met was my college roommate, but that wasn’t until the mid-00’s.
SNES probably was better, but I had more exposure to the Genesis so that’s what I wanted.
I had a Sega Megadrive that I loved but still thought SNES was better.
Mega Drive was awesome
But… but… Sega does what Nintendon’t!
To which my response was “Well… Nintendo doesn’t suck.” They clearly didn’t test that slogan amongst children. 😌
Intellivision 👾
Atari Jaguar. No one I knew had one and the only place to play one was a single game store in a mall that you had to pay to play. I paid twice to play and was in love.
