<div class="IPBDescription">Was out in the kitchen makin' chicken.</div> Well, like the title said, I was makin' some chicken (reheating actually) which is, quite tasty, as chicken usually is. When I got to thinking about my N64 and wondering which of my family members had one first, it's weird. Anyhow, I also got to thinking (a lot of thinking can happen during a 45 second microwave session.) about old systems and their awesomeness.

Anyhow, what old systems do you guys have?

I personally have:

SNES, Two Madcat controllers (Think these were the first controllers Madcat actually went with.) and one Original one.

And an N64 with a gold and gray controller...


Ah, almost forgot, I have an Old Gameboy (well, used to, just gave it away to my cousin since he's deprived. This thing's got memories attached to it, too, first video game system I ever had, grandma got it for me, God bless that woman.)

And a gameboy color.

    I have:

    2 NES, with 6 controllers.
    1 Red GameBoy, with the old blocky GameBoys, so it looks like a brick.
    1 GameBoy Advance.
    1 N64 with 2 controllers; on Green the other Red. It came with the green one.
    1 Dreamcast with two controllers, one with a Clear-Green top.
    1 GameCube.
    1 Nintendo DS.

    Sadly, I was never blessed with an SNES.

    1 Game Gear with 3-6 games/Extra Battery Pack.
    3 Gameboy Colors

    I have a Gameboy Pocket. I didn't really do the whole console thing. In terms of computer hardware, my first computer ran on DOS and had a screen that displayed only green and black.

    I use to have virtually everything, but my parents divorce kinda took alot of it. Now its just me, my xbox, and my pc. My ps2 is in pieces after my failed attempt to find the problem wrong with it.

    Well the oldest gaming console that i posses is the original pong paddles. Though these where like the deluxe paddles with football and tennis lol not just pong.

    I’ve got a couple of C64s hanging around with about 200games in a huge box, and a intelvission thingy that i could never get to work.

    Also a quite rare Mega drive/Mega CD in one not the separates that you normally get with a couple of games somewhere in the house lol.

    My old P75 has to take the biscuit though with a whopping 75 MHz of power and 16megs of DIMM ram this thing is a powerhouse.

    Out of all the little bits ive got i must admit the mega drive is the system i like the most, even more then my PS2. Nothing beats a game of Streets Of Rage/Golden Axe with m8s.

    I had an NES with four controllers and twenty-ish games, but I gave it away. I had a PSX with probably the same amount of games, I've lent it to my sister for an unspecified amount of time. I have PS2 with thirty games or so, and I'm contemplating getting a GC since it's cheap now and I wanna try Metroid Prime and Wind Waker.

    Oh and I also had an old pong clone. Gave it to the same guy that got the NES. He's collecting old consoles, so I know he'll care well for 'em. Never used them anyway.

    One of the Atari Sytems and a box full of games

    N64 with a lot of the classics. (Mario, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark)

    Original Green Gameboy with Zelda

    Gameboy Colour

    Sega Genisis (With that funky "Virtual Reality" attachment. This thing has loads of memories on it. *Sigh* Road Rash..)

    Original 1994 Sony Playstation. (How is it that such an old system is still popular today?).
  • UltimaGeckoUltimaGecko hates endnotes Join Date: 2003-05-14 Member: 16320Members
    1 Atari (woot, Journey Escape)
    2 NES; 4 controllers and light gun
    1 Genesis; 4 controllers, 1 of which is broken - original version (headphone volume!)
    1 Game Gear; I have 6 games...woohoo!
    1 X'Eye (JVC made Genesis and Sega CD combined) [no longer functions]
    1 PSX; 2 DS, 2 normal controllers...like 5 memory cards
    1 Dreamcast; 5 controllers (huh?) and 4 VMUs (but only about 11 games)
    1 Xbox; 5 controllers (2 of which are b0rked, and there were 2 others that broke)

    [I've had but don't have anymore:]
    1 N64; with one controller and Mario 64 (although I rented about 7 games and dominated Mario 64)
    1 PS2; with Red Faction and GTA:VC...woo, look at all that gaming potential...

    ...funny thing is: I never rented any PS2 games or played any PSX games in it.



    I also haven't turned on my Game Gear in over 3 years. Another small fact: I've got a Jurassic Park game for every system I presently own (except Dreamcast, Atari (because there are none) Xbox...because I'd rather have that Operation Genesis on computer...and there's no way I'm buying that for at least half a year).

    That is, for reference:
    NES: Jurassic Park.
    Genesis: Jurassic Park; Jurassic Park: Rampage Edition [I've never seen Lost World on sale]
    SegaCD: Jurassic Park
    Game Gear: Jurassic Park
    PSX: The Lost World: Jurassic Park (looks awesome for PS, but isn't that fun to play through twice)
    [DC: Dino Crisis! ...not a JP game, though <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> ]

    Of all those 'Jurassic Park's, my favorite is still the SNES version I don't have...

    I think that out of all of these, the Sega Genesis brought me the most entertainment. I spent hours playing Sonic the Hedgehog and other gamesl ike Aladdin and Shinobi. Good times...

    Dammit, Shinobi wasn't for the Genesis. That was Shinobi 3 or Revenge of Shinobi. The original is still only on the Master System. Damn... I remember waiting the agonizing month or two for that thing to arrive in the mail, when K-Mart had it up on the shelves, just a quarter inch of glass away from my fingertips.

    And I'm convinced that the 3DO was pretty nifty, but incredibly overpriced... and the PSX still whomped all over it as far as power was concerned. Remember playing a 3DO at Good Guys, when they were still trying to sell them, then gave up and stuffed the display in a corner.

    Crap, you're right, it was Revenge of Shinobi.

    atari (ET IS THE GREATEST GAME EVER... NEXT TO RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARC! dont even ask what controllers i have for that bad boy...)
    NES - couple game pads, track mat, forgot-the-name-laser gun deal
    SNES - cousin broke my old/good one so i had to get a new/crappy one -_-
    N64 - 4 controllers rumble packs.. the works..
    PS - not too much for this console..
    PS2 - no longer in service

    thats about it.. unless my old mac counts as a system.. the only thing it was good for was games like bonzai and joust... and ARKANOID!

    Nope, no JP games on my computer (unless you count corrupted VB program I was making to replicate the computer from Jurassic Park (...the one in the book, not the stupid one in the movie).

    At least all the console JPs have their own fun and unique aspects...

    NES - collection-y adventure
    SNES - exploring [outdoors] / FPS [indoors]
    Genesis - action-adventure (more action in the second one...plus it looks really cool)
    GameGear - action adventure (with some weird other thing)
    SegaCD - puzzle
    PSX - ...pretty much the Genesis stuff, except you get to be different dinosaurs besides the raptor and you basically only go one way.


    [I'd also like to point out: Aviary is the best level to start with in JP:RE, since it has an ammo belt you can collect to fill up all your ammo; and if you don't hit a save marker you can control the dactyl to get the extra-life on the left way's right side (close to the top)...effectively allowing you to get full ammo in both the stun gun, rockets and flamethrowers in the first level...
    ...but the Savannah is the most fun, especially with an auto-shooting button...since you can fire so fast you lag up the game...heh, it's basically a big death laser shooting out (even with just starting tranq darts).]



    I think I like Jurassic Park too much...
    I still have a bunch of action figures from when I was ~10 (although the foot-tall T-Rex is missing half a leg and the 'bitten out' piece is permanently lost), a coloring book, a deck of cards, Junior Novelization (by some guy...), Jurassic Park (by Michael Crichton, which I read in 4th grade...about 6 times for reading), The Lost World (by Michael Crichton), all three movies, a Jurassic Park lunch box, 3 Jurassic Park posters, one T-shirt (which, coincidently enough, I'm wearing right now), two cups, and all the afforementioned games, [edit: some comic books...] . Feel like I'm forgetting something though.

    I'm thinking it surpasses my rock collection.
