        1987 : It started with the NES my mother bought for me when we moved into a new town when I was 7. The NES STILL works and we used it WELL into the late 1990's and even still today. Here's the stuff we have.



        1992 : After a year of playing the SNES at FAO Schwartz on Sunday afternoons, my Dad finally caved and my sister and I got the SNES. Lots of good times. A Link to the Past, FF2, FF3, Chrono Trigger, Street Fighter. Mario Paint, the Super Scope. I love it.

        1997 : We pick up a Sega Genesis for pretty cheap. Naturally, I used it to take advantage of EA's Sports games. NHL '93 - 96' , Bulls vs. Blazers, USA Basketball, Madden. The Genesis did those sports games better than the SNES. It was pretty late that we picked up the Genesis.

        That was also the same year I got a Playstation for Christmas, long after it got released, so it was cheaper.

        Since then I have remained a gamer. With X-Box, PS2, and a Game Cube.


        What I find most impressive about this collection is that you still have the covers for the games. Most games you find nowadays in gameshops don't have the sleeves.

          I began with the Atari 2600 - - i had this weird E.T. game...anyone have that one? That game was like, impossible, i think my mom helped me play it and finally finish it!


          I had that game too, Usagi-chan. That was sort of a weird game and didn't have much to do with the movie, but I was on a pretty heavy E.T. kick at the time and loved anything E.T. I'll still play it sometimes.

          As for consoles:
          Pong (given to us by grandpa)
          Atari 2600 (parents bought it)
          Atari 7200
          NES
          SNES
          Gameboy
          N64
          Gamecube
          PS1
          PS2
          Gameboy Color (found on the street, only missing the battery cover)
          PSP (bought for us by my awesome sister-in-law)

          With the four exceptions noted above, I bought and paid for all my own systems, even from the time when I was a kid. I still play all of them from Atari on up, too -- I never did "outgrow" video games and most likely never will. I was one of those huge geeks that would go to the arcade just to watch people that had money playing games, or run into the room if I heard the commercial for Nintendo Cereal come on the T.V. I spent a lot of my free time in 5th and 6th grades trying to flesh out and write the stories for my Atari games (back when games didn't have much of a story). Not fanfics, mind you; more like when someone "novelizes" a movie (except my novelizations were at most four or five handwritten pages long).

          I'm still a nerd. But I'm not quite as bad as I used to be.
