Don't forget the lack of a Metroid game. That was probably what I missed most on the otherwise revolutionary N64 system. laserkid wrote: there are still games in those last years I still want to get, and I’ve managed to acquire a gamecube game list of 40 games, with few exceptions all good too Be sure and pick up Resident Evil 4 if you haven't already. It's easily the best game for the Gamecube yet. I know they're making it for the PS2 as we speak, but from what I hear, it won't be nearly the quality of the Gamecube, especially texture-wise.

laserkid 9 years 6 months ago Posts: 7	Oh yes, I do have RE 4, I enjoy it a lot, not my favorate oin the system but its well up there. Lacking a Metroid game sure didnt help the N64 either, but I wouldnt call it the main cause - lackjing 3rd party franchises on the NES and SNES hurt it badly.

Playstation Playstation 2 (Brief ownership) Gamecube As you can see I wasn't able to get all the systems I wanted, however, I know my parents wanted to. The Sega Systems were hand me downs but I appreciated any new system I could get my hands on. Viva Videogames!

System 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 74809	The first video game system I had was the Commodore Vic-20. The next video game system I had was an Atari 7800. That was the best video game system I ever had. Games like Food Fight and Ms. Pac-Man were great! I also had (and still have) a Nintendo 8-Bit, a Turbo Grafx-16, and a Sega Game Gear I got rid of most of my Nintendo Games (stupidly), but I still have well over 90 Atari game cartridges, around 30 Turbo Grafx-16 games and about 25 Game Gear Games!

TheNighthaw 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 69	Ohhhhh boy. Well I was kinda too young for the older systems, my sister played the video games. But we got an NES in 1989, still play it on a regular basis, although we've had to go through a couple new decks and bought a whole bunch of games for it. Thank goodness for Funcoland. Then in 1991 I think we got a Sega Genesis, still play that sucker on a regular basis too. Replaced the deck once and new controllers of course. In addition we had the first clunky Gameboy, still got it. I even have my nylon case for it: black and hot pink, heh heh. Hahahah, I can still beat Ducktales and my sister can't, but she kicks my ass at Super Mario Land. In 2000 I bought Sega Dreamcast because I got addicted to Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 at a friend's house, haha. Sonic Adventure was also an awesome game. I don't know, after all those years of 2-D games, I thought doing a 3-D game would be too much of a culture shock. But they're really not that hard to get the hang of. Except when the camera doesn't pan the way you want it to, d'oh! And now we have a Playstation 2 so my sister can play Kingdom Hearts and a bunch of other games. Jeez, they come out with a new video game system every other year it seems, no one can catch up anymore! My cousins have XBox and it looks really neat, but they'll probably just come out with something else in another year Same thing with the Dreamcast. Hey Ray, you've got some badass games for your NES there. Bubble Bobble has to be one of my favorites, next to Startropics of course. Mega Man 2 is the joint. Hahaha and Kung Fu is so tragically stupid but fun: heck with you Sylvia, why don't you damsels-in-distress save yourselves for once?!

Yodamite 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 303	I remember wanting the 2600 so bad in the early 80s. Any time I was at a house with a 2600 in it, I went a little crazy. However, my deadbeat dad hated videogames for some ridiculous reason. I wasn't allowed to have one. In 1988 I had spent over a year saving the money I had earned from cleaning carpets--earning 50 cents to a dollar-an-hour working for my tyrant father. That was the only way I was allowed to have a system. I remember feeling so proud as I hooked up the NES to a little black & white tv in my room. I owned a grand total of 4 cartridges over a period of two years, but I had the good fortune of having friends who would lend me games. All was good until I was forced to get rid of it by my dad because I was "acting out". By that, of course, he meant that I was not acting like a perfectly disciplined automaton. As a child, I was never again allowed to own a system. As a result, I missed out on the entire 16-bit generation. I became an adult. In '97, I got a PS1. I now have a PS2 and an XBox. When I hear people talk about how their parents bought them a system when they were kids, I can't help but think..."Wow, so that's what it's like to have a real dad." Sorry if this sounds like a pity party, but I can't help but mention the story behind my collection of videogames, or lack thereof. I know that there are lots of kids who've had it worse than me. But my dad sucked.

System 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 74809	I had this console that just played like four games pong, tanks, tennis and maybe one other. Then my dad bought us Intellivision this console ruled except the paddles wore out really fast and come undone from the wiring as it was attached. Later we got NES ahhhhh Zelda was amazing. Did you all know you could open these game catridges up and swap the cards out.. that was one the first gaming piracy scams. After that I did not play much until after High School then it was the N64 and PSP. Now I have XBOX.

System 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 74809	NES: My older sister took my system along with all the games and put them on our front lawn without my knowing some years ago. Someone came, took them away, and bye bye memories. Reason: "They were collecting dust... you never played it anyways!". She'll never be forgiven I fell into a video game rut. Never had the money to buy the new systems (SNES, Sega, PlayStation). Then... N64: In 2003 I took action, bought a never used N64 from a friend for $60 including 4 games, controllers, the works. I have 30 games for it now, play it every other day or when possible. Used games come cheap so I'm having fun building my collection for this awesome system

System 9 years 4 months ago Posts: 74809	Got a Mattel Intellivision for Christmas in 1980. Unfortunately, that system turned out to be the Betamax of video gaming systems at the time (superior to the Atari but far far less popular). Nevertheless I made do with that Intellivision for well over 8 years, somehow different companies continued to produce games for it (even into the early 90s! At any rate, after spending most of the 1980s being grounded, I finally got a Nintendo in the summer of 1988. Spent 2 years playing catch up---most folks had owned one since 85---and not too long after that the whole 16 bit revolution was getting started (Sega Genesis, the short lived TurboGrafix 16). I faithfully played my small collection of NES games through early high school (1990) and then the thing gathered dust for years. In winter of 1994 I went out and finally bought a Sega Genesis and 2 games (Earthworm Jim and Contra Hard Corps). I bought very few games for it, and then it went with me to college, where I never had enough money to buy any new games at all (we played NHL 93 and Mortal Kombat II well into 1997 and 9. Since then it's been computers, not platform systems. I broke down last year and bought an Xbox. It has served as a DVD player and little else (my DVD player broke, that's mainly why I bought the thing). Other systems I played but never personally owned: Atari, Atari 2600, Atari 5200, Colecovision, Sega Master System, TurboGrafix 16, Panasonic (Sony?) 3DO, and of course Playstation 1 and 2. Had a cousin who owned the Sega CD that connected to the old Genesis (precursor to the Sega Saturn). Never have touched a Sega Dreamcast.

Mystie 9 years 3 months ago Posts: 1132	I had an intellivision and Atari for as long as I can think back. Cuz I had 2 older brothers. I loved playing Frog Bog, Strawberry Shortcake, ET, Joust, Burgertime, Happy Trails, Jungle Hunt... except I didn't know how the switch box worked and stuff so I'd always have to get someone to hook them up for me. There also used to be a place by me called Fat Boys Deli that had an arcade in the back. If I pretended to play Ms Pacman for long enough eventually someone would come take pity on me and put a quarter in.
