We all grew up playing video games (I'm sure there are a couple exceptions here) and we all have fond memories of playing them. What consoles did you own and what games did you enjoy playing the most?

I owed all of those except a Game Cube and og XBox.

I owned these throughout my childhood at some point:

NES
N64
PS
Game Cube
PS2
XBox
Xbox 360
Wii/WiiU
PS4

My others would be PSP, Switch, Atari, Gameboy, and DS.

I also did not realize the SNES =/= NES until right now

No Atari 2600? :P

Every one of the ones listed and then some.

Did anyone else rock a Game Gear? And go through a small fortune in batteries every seventeen minutes of gameplay?

Atari 2600- Adventure, Yars Reveneg, Warlords, Kaboom, Freeway (great for drunk parties), SW: Empire Strikes Back (hoth), SW: Return of the Jedi (millenium falcon and jedi training thingy)

NES- SMB, Contra, RBI Baseball

Sega Genesis: Mutant League Football, Mutant League Hockey, Battletech, Dune, Road Rash, General Chaos, Worms

Turbografix 16- Fucking loved Ys book 1 and 2

PS- Grand Theft Auto (regular, brit and II), Armored Core, Ghost in the Shell

PS2- Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2, Robotech: Battlecry, Robotech: Invid Invasion, a coupe of STar Trek games I go back to all the time

PS3- Mostly CoD games, Armored Core 3 or 4 or something, Minecraft

Ps4: SW: Battlefront 1 & 2, Battlefield series, CoD games

Wait, no, I don't think I ever owned an original Xbox.

I have TARNISHED and SULLIED this poll with a false vote.

Oh man Armored Core... I forgot how much fun I would have playing that game with friends. Specifically the third one, IIRC. Nothing better than spending seven hundred and fifteen hours constructing a mech that sucks. From Software needs to put a new one out. Even if it has to have Souls mechanics since they're all in with that now.

I'll sell you mine on Ebay so you can be an honest man

Nintendo, Snes, first couple playstations. True story my brother and I went in on a ps2 together and when he left the city he just took it without asking.

I loved one of the original couple- put tons of time into getting past all the missions and earning all the cash and parts. Then we saved that so that people could use that to make any mech they wanted and then battle the fuck out of each other. I would make mechs with serious sounding names based on Battletech mechs like Warhammer and Maurauder. My friend (while drunk) made a pink and purple plaid mech he called the "Ass Baby" and gods forbid you lost to him while he was in that mech, because then he would get up, bend over to look you in the eye, then start smacking his ass while grinning: this was his patented "Ass Baby dance" that showed he;d kicked your ass in a pink and purple plaid mech.

I love that game, but getting enough shit each time a new version came out just took so much dedication.

I remember the day I went to Wal-Mart and picked up an Atari 2600 like it was yesterday. Donkey Kong fever. That thing had a joy stick with just one button. I went thru 3 of the joysticks playing the Track and Field game. 8 bit was king back then. Lol.

GameCube is the best console ever man. You are missing out!
