For the old folks out there, what was your favorite gaming console/system from childhood? I had an Atari 7800, which was awesome at the time.

I didn't really have any but Playstation and N64 were good.

Super Nintendo. All those days of playing doctor mario

Genesis was awesome. I got mine second hand for $25 and it came with 19 games! What a sweet deal. (Consider that this was when it was new, not now when you can get the console on ebay for $10with one game.)

I also had a NES.

What sucks about these old systems is that I can no longer use them. The controllers all broke over time. They ranged from the d-pad not working to you having to press the buttons down hard for them to work to it just flat out not working. I had a NES and Genesis so that's 4 controllers that broke btw.

Genesis.


Long evenings with Sonic The Hedgehog, prolly one of the few games I still have troubles beating

NES without a doubt. So many classics that I could still play (and still do on occasion)

The NES and the N64 were my most favorite systems.

The first one I ever played was the NES, but the only game that did not *BEEP* suck was "Ice Climbers". After that I had an old Game Boy (the original, realy large and boxy one) and I played "Paper Boy".

The first console that I actualy owned was a Playstation, which rocked, games I loved included: Grand Trismo 2, Ace Combat 1, 2, and 3; Digimon World, and some really sucky FPS, including some James Bond games.

Heh heh good topic. I had an old C64, then got an NES. I then saved birthday money w/ my brother and we got a SNES. Gameboys for xmas. Another year we got Game Gears (which I still have somewhere) and then I got a Genesis (with coupon to send in for Sonic 2). I saved up the year after for the SegaCD which a year later I fried when I plugged the wrong power adaptor into the back of it. I then got an N64 when it launched and later a PS1. After that I picked up a Dreamcast and later an XBox. It was awhile later that I got a 360 and then a PS3. PSP. and two NDS's. As of right now I still ahve the c64, Game Gear, Genesis, two NDS's and PS3.

Sega (Genesis I believe), N64, and SNES were great consoles
