I never even thought of adding in the commodore 64, also had a system called a oddesy II (it stunk the big one though). What is the deal w/ all the systems though, half of them I really can't even remember all that well. Goliath was right need to set up a antique gaming site lol, w/ the retro eighties coming back in who know lol. [:D]

Dunno, guess I was born a game geek![:D] Some of those were actually owned by my older brother, but he shared so they were basically mine also. Incidentally, he is still a game geek today too (at age 35).

OK, you guys are gonna think that I'm rich or something, and I guess for a while there I kinda was too, but here's a list of all the systems that I currently own:

Sega Game Gear
Sega Genesis
Sega CD
Sega 32X
Sega Saturn
Sega Dreamcast
Super Nintendo
Sony Playstation
Panasonic 3DO
Atari Jaguar
Atari Jaguar CD
Nintendo Virtual Boy

At one time I owned a Nintendo 64, but I got rid of it because the games for it were too expensive, and none of them were ever really worth as much as they cost.

I also had an Atari 2600 way back when everybody else had one, but I sold it so I could get an Atari 5200, which I should've sold so I could get a Colecovision.

Anyhow, I never got an NES, because the 5200 left a real bad taste in my mouth for video game systems, so I didn't have any consoles until Sonic the Hedgehog came out, and then I had to have a Genesis. I had been wanting a Sega Master System for a long time, but I never did get one, so the Genesis was even better.

Then I was a total Sega loyalist until Donkey Kong Country came out, and I just couldn't keep on talking myself out of getting a SNES anymore. I'd been wanting one of those for a long time too, but I kept spending all of my money on games.

After that I sorta went nuts on the new systems for a while, because I had just gotten a $10,000 settlement from a lawsuit, which was all gone in only 2 months!

I wasn't gonna get a Dreamcast, but then I heard that they were gonna have a new coaster sim for it, so of course I had to have one ASAP. Well the coaster game was delayed so many times for so freaking long that I finally ended up importing the original Japanese version, as well as the Japanese sequel, before the darn thing finally came out in English. Good thing I did too, because they never did translate the sequel before they finally killed the Dreamcast, and the sequel is way better than the original was. The original game is still pretty cool though.

And now we have 3 different DVD based consoles to choose from, each of them with entirely too many games, so I'm not getting any of them, no matter how much I'd like to have all of them. I just can't afford to support any consoles anymore.

Why not, you ask? Well I have over 1500 games total for all the systems that I currently own, so I don't really have any room for more games or more consoles anyway, and even if I did, I prefer the old school 16BIT games over the newer ones anyway. Of course my coaster sims are an exception though, so the first console that comes out with a new coaster game that I can't get on the PC will be the one that I have to have, but hopefully nothing like that will ever happen.

Oh BTW, I was working in nightclubs and making about $100 in tips a night on top of my hourly pay, which usually included 10 or 20 hours of overtime, so I was making about $500 to $1000 a week during most of the time that I was buying all these games and systems. So the $10,000 settlement was more like a bonus, it really didn't pay for all that much, it just let me get a whole lot at one time.

I used to go to the video game store every day back then, and I always spent several hundred dollars while I was there, so before long I got to read all the video game magazines for free, because the salesmen would just throw them in my sack with all my games without charging me for them. I never could get them to give me any games for free, but they did give me all the demo discs and free T-shirts they had, so life was pretty sweet back then except I had to work all the time. That's why I bought new games every day, I could mostly only play them on my days off, so I wanted a big stack to go through when I finally had the time!

And now I finally get to just enjoy them all, but unfortunately I don't really have any friends nearby to play them with like I used to, so I don't play very many of them very often anymore. I spend most of my time playing PC games now, and of course I play all the coaster sims more than anything else, so my house is kinda like an old video game warehouse or something. They mostly gather dust.

Maybe I should just sell them all right now and get a new car or something, but I always thought that I'd wait until they were all so old that nobody thought that anybody still had any old games like that anymore. Then I'd put them all on Ebay as a collection, and buy something really insane, like a new boat or a trip around the world riding every coaster that I can find or maybe just a new house.

P.S.: Not meaning to brag, but the question was asked, so I answered.
