And its my life's mission to own a Nintendo 64 and Diddy Kong Racing again one day

I imagine it stands a good chance of being included with the inevitable N64 mini.

Officially it's the PS1 that was around in my house first.

However my first Console that I ever played on was the Sega Dreamcast with Sonic Adventure and Sega Worldwide Soccer.

The chunky PlayStation 1.

I think it was the N64??

I’d played consoles up until that point but yeah I think the N64 was the first I actually owned

PS2 I think. I was obsessed with a Crash Bandicoot game called The Wrath of Cortex.

I was about 4/5 (?) icr properly.

PS1 or gameboy, don't remember which I played first

The Sega Mega Drive, never had a Nintendo console til the Game Boy Pocket

Oh actually, we (well my sister) had an NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) that had the game Duck Hunt on and had the plastic gun you used to shoot the ducks!

Amazing.

The games cost as much as the consoles though... I have a mint condition SNES Zelda that was over £70 :omgno:. Also a mint condition original grey GameBoy in box that's worth a bit.

Considering breaking into my friend's parents house because I know for a fact that there's a cupboard there packed full of his old N64 cartridges, all in brilliant condition, most worth £50+ and I'm pretty sure he has no idea they're worth anything at all :joker:.

Thats quite a thoughtful birthday gift for the mrs TS kudos to you for that.

I have shoe box full of old atari games but no atari now [emoji23][emoji23] but yeah some of the prices if the older games are mental these days.

Jake has a very impressive retro console collection

As da hood would say, respect to Jake, I'm envious of that collection.:joker:

My NES and my first computer was a 486... DOS gaming ftw :love:

The rest just collected dust :shrug: I could display those things in my room, but I barely have enough space for my studio gear and my drafting table... also have a little meditation spot and a place to write in my journal... I did used to have a CRT for playing old games (because old games look like a jaggy mess on an LCD...)... had to leave it when we moved halfway across the country... :spin:

A "treat" I would love though, I've said to my husband, is to be able to play a lot of the Japanese classics.. so an important PS1 would be nice. I can read Japanese and enjoy playing imports... I picked up a lot of everyday vocabulary farming in Harvest Moon, and I had my Wii hacked and setup for all that, but the hard drive crashed and I just never got around to changing it out. Also a PSP, but I would just love to own some originals... they make retro consoles that play a few of the older systems, but nothing that plays the PS1 games... my greatest era aside from the Genesis era... imo. Though I did own Phantasy Star Online v2 in Japanese and I could boot it on my DC and play it before they locked it down, and used to have a japanese sub before they finally ported it to here... we could convert our characters with codebreaker hack, so that was awesome :love:...
