You people all make me feel young.

Around the year 2000, I got a 300 dollar Windows XP computer for Christmas, and thus started my gaming. I honestly couldn't tell you my earliest game, but they include stuff like Need for Speed Hot Pursuit (the original) and Need for Speed Porsche Unleashed. My favorite game basically until Mass Effect came along was Command and Conquer Generals.
I never played consoles, because my parents never ever gave me anything gaming-related, or an allowance, thus I always have had to scrape for cash. This also has caused my PC gaming to always be a couple of years behind the curve. A few months ago a friend of mine traded me one of his extra Xbox 360s for a cheap guitar I have (he had four 360s at the time), mostly so I could play Sonic 2006 (don't hate me).

Edit: A friend of mine did sell me his gameboy advance for five bucks. I played Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission (so scary) on it. Then several years later I got a Nintendo DS, for the Sonic games: Sonic Rush, Sonic Rush Adventure, annnnnnnnnnndddd...Bioware-created Sonic Chronicles the Dark Brotherhood! It's what first put BW on my radar.

   You sound like a big Sonic fan.  Did you play the originals ? (1 and 2)   I also heard the one on Sega CD was good, but never played it.

N64 (purchased )

I traded my N64  for a  playstation . I visited my sister for 2-3 day  when she was to college . I was bored and witnessed that trading place . I traded my N64+ 2 game for the PSX  . I remember playing the resident evil 2 demo all afternoon lol.

After this i purchased my first computer for 2500.00$ . Next console i purchased was the PS3 in 2009 . I was a PC gamer for most of it. I purchased a PC because my co-worker keep talking about his 'experience' with Pk in Ultima Online. That when i discovered Rainbow six , Mplayer.com , Diablo and later counter-strike . In 2001 i started to play DAOC.

Back in the day when everyone was chilling on IRC.

I purchased the N64  late actually and owned it for 6 month . My parent rented it often though lol .
i lived in the countryside . The owner of my videoclub actually purchased most of my game when he visited the city.

Ah yes arcade .  How much money i wasted into that Mortal Kombat/Street fighter 2 Machine.

i'm a PC gamer (and always will), but i also have consoles, and, WAY back, i used to play them all the time.
The VERY first game i played was..... Q*bert (yes, Q*bert), and i used to play in the arcade all the time, until i wanted a home console.

From my very first console to last:

NES
Commodore 64 (This is actually very similar to a PC for those who don't know, so you could say that this is where my PC gaming started)
 
i stuck with it for a time, until the damn thing decided to break, in 1990, then i got myself:

SNES
ZX Spectrum +3

stuck with it again(i wasn't very interested on changing pcs and consoles every 5 seconds), and waddaya know! ZX Spectrum broke, in 1994, then i got myself a:

GameBoy Pocket
Atari Jaguar and Lynx

again, i stuck with them(they didn't break this time, yay), until 1998 where i replaced my gameboy for:

Gameboy Color

then, in late 1998, my family and i had to sell all my current consoles(except the gameboy) and my PC(), because we needed money, but recovered EXTREMELY (we were actually surprised that it happened so fast), and then i got myself a:

Nintendo 64
Playstation

Afterwards, in the same year I discovered the Nvidia brand, and ever since then i started playing on pc(again, you could say that it started with the Commodore 64), and as the years went i by, i started paying a lot less attention to consoles, but i still got them:

Playstation 2
Xbox
Gamecube (They gave to me as a gift)
Wii
Playstion 3
Xbox 360

and of course, my trusty PC.
This is actually the same PC that i have always had, i have simply been upgrading it throughout the years.
i suppose my specs would count as a console, so here they are:

Core i7-2860QM ( will be replaced, in december or next year, depending, for a Xeon E5-1660)
12 Gb of RAM (planning on getting 4 Gb more)
Nvidia Geforce GTX 460 (but i have recently pre-ordered a GTX 590)
Abit AN8-SLI Socket 939 Motherboard

Huh..... yeah, as you can probably tell, i have spend A LOT of money on my PC, Lol, but i believe it's worth, because with this, i won't need to replace for at least 2 years.

Interesting that you went from Atari>Sega>Nintendo>Sony a couple of times then back to Nintendo (for wife) after which continued switching brands this time to Microsoft. Seems like you either wanted to give them all a chance or maybe was it just specific games that push you for one system or the other. In other words it seems you did a lot of switching between brands.

Did you skip the 8bit generation systems and handhelds like have you not owned or currently own a single handheld from GB, GBC, GBA, GG, Lynx or current generations of PSP, DS and 3DS style systems.

Personally I skipped the Gamecube myself it never appealed to me as with the Sega Saturn. Back around that time I think I was on PSX, 3DO and Jaguar systems. Titles like Need for Speed original on 3DO sticks in my mind from those days as well as Alien vs Predator on the Jaguar. As for PSX owned so many titles because had such variety it's hard to thin back over what the early titles I bought for it were.

Never played handhelds I never could get into them. My wife had a GBA, but we got sick of buying batteries, or using the askward recharge kit, and bought the Gamecube kit that lets you play on it. And I got like two or three games for that but sold them quickly.

Atari (don't know which version) something my stepdad had in the barn, most of the games for it were crap though, I'ld play it in the summer when it was too hot to go outside. But meh...it got me started but...you know.

Some people I knew had the Sega Gen. And we played Mortal Kombat, etc on those, and it was fun. I wanted a system baddly. Around that time the PS1 came out. and my cousin John, and his folks sold the Sega and like 30 games to me and mine so he could get the PS1. Short of a few titles, and playing with friends, that system was a "meh" for me. There were games I liked. Games I could not beat more often than not. I'm a horrible platform gamer. After than I really didn't care to look into any other sega products till the Dreamcast, which I didn't get thanks to the PS2.

Nintendo 64. That is the system I can say I loved the most. It was good quality and as rough as I was at times with it, it took alot of abuse. I think I got it two years after release with Mario 64, and Goldeneye. Its once more because of a friend I wanted this system alot. And I have had alot of happy times with it. Me and my friend Marcus LOVED playing Duke Nukem 64. And I once won a tourny in Goldeneye, and have alot of good stories with that game. I think thats what sold me on Nintendo....well untill later. That and I loved playing Zelda, and Mario.

Ps1. Around I figure...2002 or so I bought it, for the RPGs namely, I had sold my 64, why not the Gamecube? I felt betrayed by Nintendo as silly as that sounds. I was a loyal player and Nintendo power reader for years. And I looked foreward to project dolphin, which was ment to take the old 64, and give it a disc game add on system, while keeping more reliable cartradiges and the controller around. Then comes out this retarded looking lunch box with a toy controller, and the 64 was burried. I said screw it. Left.

My PsX ownership didn't last long, not as I hated it, but it was old, dated, etc,etc. So later that same year, after I broke my PSx by stepping on it via a mistake, I got the PS2...the X-box was rather unknown to me so ehh skipped it. Loved playing my PSX RPGs on it, like Legend of Dragoon, FF7, etc. And I had a good number of games for it, and was in the sony camp given the price, and the fun games, kept it nearlly as long as my 64. And thats mainly why I didn't get the dreamcast. 5 years ago, or so me and my wife started dating, and that takes money given the long distances I traveled, so I sold it. Thankfully daiting didn't last but about a year and I had my PC to play on lulz.

Once we finally tied the knot, I let my Money build up and bought an X-box, minus how heavy the system was, and the lack of RPG titles I came to enjoy that system, mainly for Halo, Kotor, Jade Empire, a few other games. It was during this time my wife wanted a gaming system, so I go her a gamecube. She played it very rarely and I went "Meh might as well get some use out of what I bought." and I found some great games for it, twilight princess, the other Zeldas that were moved onto it, Freedom fighters, etc. It made me go "hmm this system isn't so bad"  Leave to Nintendo to break the spell again...

Gamestop soon stoped carrying used games for it (XBOX). So Given I had money saved up, I sold my X-box and its 20 games for $80 bucks or so at a pawnshop. Went to gamestop bought a refurbed 360, as well it was that, a PS3 (which I would have bought, but the price just wasn't worth it imo.) or the Wii, which felt like the Gamecube all over again. My wife wanted one, but given how fast she ditched the cube, and GBA, and the fact we have a kid now, I haven't bought it. Maybe I'll surprise her with one for Christmas.

Anyways I got the 360. And the cheapest version. Very quickly I found my self getting a bigger mem card, cooling addon etc. I liked the games, had no red ring issues, and I played the crap out of it. Then the Slim was coming, and it was everything the 360 should have been. And given I was worried about my 360, I decided not to be so cheap, and bought a referubed Slim the week it came out with the max size mem card for $350. Same system minus all the drawbacks. I like the games for it and will most likely stick with it. Enjoy the system and it has most of the game types I like, Basically a not so heavy brick box. Liked it, liked this.

I also bought an SNES this year, but sold it quickly, mainly for nostalgia that I had good times on it with my friends but, I just couldn't play those games anymore. They are horrible in hindsight. And no matter how much gold you put on a turd, its still a turd.

Given the quality of the newer systems, I'll be sticking to buying new or new referbs. They just don't build things like they used too. As to what next gen I'll jump on, PC gaming is pratically dead here, so won't be that, plus its expensive to chase in my neck of the woods. The Wii U is just stupid from what I've seen THOUGH it is going back to a controller thank god, so I'll keep an eye on it. The PS3, I could care less about and there is no way unless drastic changes happen I'ld buy the Ps4 which is a mute point as it and microsoft have plans not to release a new system till 2014 or so. If Microsoft goes the route of motion play only, then I'm done with them. I really dislike how they are pushing the Kenict like a drug dealer.

I fallow my wallet and what I like.


My PCs have normally been bought only as the previous one got fried or broke. I mainly use it for RTS gaming, and a few other titles, like Star War Tie Fighter and CNC Renegade.
