What was the first Game console you owned? How many do you own now?
Just finishing the 'not the smallest anymore' thread, I was taken from computers to those other little wonders... game consoles. Since I am no too old (16) I would have to say my first game console was the NES. I had at least 30 games for it, and kept bothering my mother to rent or buy new ones. I loved that machine. Actually, the last time I went to Hot Topic, I found a pair of big pants that, according to one of my friends, looked like "8-bit camoflage". Unfortunately, I had to give it away. A little later on life (about a decade after it had been released) I obtained an old Sega Genesis (the original model... ), and had QUITE a few games for that one. We also go the Sega CD, whic cost us around 200-250 dollars at the time. I liked the Sega CD. I was impressed with the graphics. All was great in the kindom that is my house until the adapter for the SegaCD fell apart, and the link cable from the console to the TV broke... by this time, you couldn't find this type of stuff anymore... I went with out a game system for a few months... then... THe Sega Saturn came out. Again, I was intrigued by the now out dated graphics capability... my family paid 348 dollars for that one... once again, that lasted until it broke... then I got it. I had it for a long while, then it just stopped working...permanently. :sniff: Then a few years and a thousand miles later, we bought the N64 for 150 dollars. Still have it, and have not any complaints about it. Two years later, I bought a Dreamcast... I only have two complaints about it. The CD-ROM drive died once, and sometimes it takes a few tries to start up THPS2.
Game consoles... I love them.

Yeap that was my first console as well.
There wasn't many console's you could get around here (Ireland) cause Ireland was like a 3rd world country back in the very early 80's.
So there's that and lots more
including the 8 bit build in console thing (that took carts), that the amstad 464+ had, that came out in 1990.
Everyone was getting sick of loading tapes and buying the "new" consoles ( megadrive etc) so amstad brought out the PLUS range of 464's and 6128's with the build in console.
It seemed ok at first but then after a year or so it was nearly impossible to get any carts.
I think commadore did the same thing with the 64.
Anyway blah blah blah.
cheers
