first console i remember my family owning was a gaming console from sears called the studio II.
that's what it looked like. we had tennis, which basically looked like pong. baseball, and blackjack. had a build in game, which didn't need a cart to be inserted, which was bowling. had car racing too.
then i got the famous atari 2600. no description necessary.
one year i remember asking for the commadore 64, and my parents were cheap, so i got a commadore 16.
all it had was a keyboard, and a tape recorder that plug into the tv. i don't even remember any games you can buy for it. just had some programs you can do like write i love whoever you were "dating at the time" over and over, which i did.
in my 15th year of life, i got the nintendo, which came with the cool "rob the robot."
i still have him too.
after that i got the super nintendo. one of my favorite systems of all time, because of link to the past, my favorite zelda game, and illusions of gaia one of my favorite rpgs at the time.
then i got the famous sega genesis. funny thing about that, is that my dad was in the navy at the time and bought it for himself which he kept on his ship. the reason why it's funny is because he wasn't really a gamer. not since his atari pacaman marathon he used to have with my mother. anyways, when he retired, so i inherited the genesis.
then came the n64. yup i admit was a nintendo fan boy for awhile. i got that and golden eye one christmas.
i got the playstation and then after that the gamecube.
i got the ps2 when it first came out. well not right when it first came out but a last minute christmas gift to myself. i remember it was my first experience with ebay, and bid on one. cost me over 400 bucks i'm embarrassed to say, but i got the bragging rights of being able to say i got one for christmas.
there's another funny story attached to my ps2 as well. when i won the bid on it at work i told a co-worker about it. he's quiet and doesn't say much. then after the holidays he said, "you know anybody who wants a ps2? my sister wants to sell hers." i wanted to pop the dude in the mouth.
finally that brings me to the ps3 which i got last year when the 40gbs came out. they were much cheaper than the ones already available. what prompt me to get it was that i recently gotten a digital tv that fall, and being that the ps3 was a blu-ray player and an affordable one at the time, i got a ps3. the face that by that time the format wars was dying down was another determining factor.
that's pretty much the consoles i have owned in my lifetime thus far except for the handhelds.
as far as handhelds go, i had a gameboy color, gba original, and then the clam shell design, nitendo ds original, and the upgraded to the lite, and then the psp which go upgraded to the slim design.
oh also got an iPod touch for myself this christmas, and you can play games on that too. guess that counts as a handheld.
