Currently, for legacy systems, I only have the SEGA Dreamcast.

I used to have

• SEGA Master System
• SEGA Genesis
• Super Nintendo
• Nintendo 64
• PS1

I have a PS3, Wii, DS Lite and DSi but after raiding the VC I let my brother have that list. He refuses to jump into this gen

[GameMaster93]

My old systems:
-Nintendo 64 (hooked up to the same VCR I play my Wii on)
-Game Boy Advance SP (somewhere in my house, need to find it so I can play Sonic Advance 1 & 2, and Metroid Fusion)
-Nintendo DS lite (in my dresser, but the right side of the hinge is broken, so I don't use it for GBA games anymore)

There are my "not super old yet" systems:
Nintendo DSi (what I'm actually using right now to type all this out lol)
Nintendo Wii (hooked up to the same VCR as my N64)

[Lefloic]

I have :
NES
SNES (and a Supaboy to play portable)
Nintendo 64
Gamecube
Wii
Genesis
Saturn
Dreamcast
Playstation
Playstation 2
Gameboy
Gameboy Advance
Willow arcade cabinet
U.N. Squadron arcade cabinet

That's pretty much it. I'd really love to get my hand on a Turbografx and a Master System someday.

[Jazzy]

Dreamcast, PS2, Gamecube, GBC, GBASP and DS lite. There was a time when I just had all these systems; Genesis, NES, SNES, N64 and a freaking Atari Lynx on top of those and my current consoles, and it just got to be like "where am I supposed to put all this stuff!" so I got rid of a bunch. I try to get digital versions of the games when possible. You never know how long those cartridges are gonna last, anyway, so better sell them while people still want them.

My only real regret is getting rid of my N64, because they won't put DK64 or Diddy Kong Racing on the VC My Wii collection of N64 games will never be satisfactory without them. Damnit, Rare!

[Da_RaY]

Just recently re-bought a 64.

I go to flea markets and pick these things up for cheap from poor suckers who don't know what they're selling, which is why I have so many NES's, Gameboy Colors, etc. I'd still like to get my hands on a few systems I'm missing, such as the Gameboy Micro, Sega Saturn, etc.

I have the FC3 Plus. It plays NES, SNES, amd Genesis games. I also have my N64.

I wish I never got rid of all my old systems. At some point I will start purchasing the original consoles.

Not working: NES (one too many home repairs), Atari 2600 (dead but looks good on a shelf), Master System II (can be fixed)

[CyberTbe]

I still own all of my old Nintendo consoles. But I never had a Virtual Boy. But that's probably because they never released it here in Belgium (God himself forbid it, lol). I will buy one if I get my hands on one for a good price. I still try to collect old games every now and then.

[baba944]

NINTENDO
N64 (2 found 1 when i was 9 and then a friend gave me my second 1. Both were free and works.)


SEGA
SEGA GENESIS: Lostp ower supply dad's

[MoldyClay]

- NES (taken apart for some reason, still works, but I can't plug it into the TV)
- SNES (working; Hooked up because gf and I have been getting old games from Play N Trade in Wantage, which is closing/closed now)
- N64 (closet on a shelf, will be coming down soon to play)
- Gamecube (sitting below Wii/360; Next to PS2)

- SEGA Genesis (works, in a dresser; Missing a wire for plugging it into the TV though)

- Gameboy (closet/shelf)
- Gameboy Color (closet/shelf)
- Gameboy Pocket (no idea)
- Gameboy Advance (closet/shelf)
- Gameboy Advance SP (near current systems)

- Nintendo DS (top screen is broken; Still plays games though. Sitting above TV)

- PS2 (below 360 and Wii; next to Gamecube)

I think that's it. Then I have DSi, 3DS, Wii, and 360 (which is technically out of production, since it's an older one) sitting out and about.

[Devil_Rising]

I have an NES (both old model and the 2.0 top loader model). I wish I still had THE console I grew up with, but alas, I went through a stupid phase as a teenager and gave it away. What a moron, I know.

I have a SNES that I do believe is the same one I had since I was 14, which I also gave to someone around the same time-span, but was later given back to me, thankfully. I don't have a working Game Boy anymore, but I do still have my Super Gameboy adapter and several old GB games for it.

I have an N64, still in great condition. Never did own a GC, was going to buy one, but then by the time I was going to get around to it for Twilight Princess, the Wii was almost out, so I figured I'd just wait and get a Wii, since it's backward compatible.

A friend and I also pretty much share our "collection" we've grown over the last decade. He keeps a Sega Genesis and TG16 that are part of that collection at his house, currently. The rest are at mine.

As for the games, well let's see. I'd estimate for each system:

NES - About 85 games, a few on loan from a friend.

SNES - 42 games, again a few on loan.

Super Game Boy - About 10 games.

N64 - 38 games.


There are, of course, still some games for each of those consoles that I don't have and would like to get. But I will say that, for the most part, I own most of the KEY games I'd want to have for each. Good stuff.


And as a final comment, I really, truly believe that even if you were born after 1990, or hell, 2000 by now, if you're going to be into gaming, try to go back and really experience gaming's past. There are too many great games to not have EVER played. Sadly, it's harder to do that with arcades ("legally"), but with something like the NES or SNES or Genesis or TG16, it's pretty cheap to find a console and even some of the games on something like Amazon or eBay. Sometimes you'll even find someone selling a system complete with a big game collection, if you can afford it.

But at the LEAST, I would honestly suggest ANY Nintendo fan owes it to his or herself to get their hands on a used NES, and a used SNES (perhaps even with a Super Game Boy cart), and build up their own little "classics collection". I think any gamer should really. And it saddens me that many modern (see: younger) gamers don't have any sense of appreciation or love for the history of video games. Hell, I'd say if you could get your hands on a working Atari 2600, get it!

Holy crap! I only have six working NES games, 36 SNES games, 7 Gameboy games, and 16 N64 games. I didn't even know what a Super Game Boy was until I looked it up!

But I'm glad to say I haven't played as many games as you because that just means I have so many good games left to play!

Well, keep in mind that between myself and my friend (with a few minor contributions from his brother), we went through a major collecting phase back in the early to mid 2000s. There used to be (sadly, not anymore), several stores in town back then that carried used NES/GB/SNES/N64 games. And Genesis and TG16, naturally. As a matter of fact, the old Gamestop in the mall, which used to be "Software Etc.", at that point was selling those used games too. Game Crazy in the Hollywood Video that used to exist here sold that old stuff too, as did this used goods store called "ReRunz". There was even a store behind this "All the Best Video" store, that sold their old, used excess stuff. As I said, sadly, pretty much every single place that used to sell these old games here in town, is now gone. Suck, really.

But when they WERE open, that's when the brunt of our collecting was done. In fact, we passed up on a few rare gems (such as Adventure Island III and this game for NES called Little Samson, which is fantastic), because we were being cheap (or at least he was, lol). We got a lot of games we hadn't owned as kids, but we also bought back many games we used to have too. There's still many games I'd like to get, but I'm afraid they're selling for more than I'm willing to pay on Amazon. But like I said, I've got most of what I'd want anyway. Anything else would just be for collection purposes, if I had the cash to burn. Someday.



And you've got the right attitude. Experiencing awesome classic games for the first time is something that can't be duplicated. Also, get your hands on a Super Game Boy if you can. Lets you play 'em on the big screen, and some later (pre-GB Color) games even had programmed-in little border graphics and whatnot, like the DK remake.

[HammerGalladeBro]

I recently found my sister's Game Boy Pocket and some Game Boy and Game Boy Color games, now it's sitting next to my Game Boy Advance SP, Gamecube and N64 on the shelf.
