Fondest memories probably from the Amiga , snes and ps2

Timeline will probably be wrong but here goes.

C64 (Night Moves & Mind Benders bundle)
Mega Drive (came with Aladdin)

Lots of shareware on my dad's Mac (LCII)

Sony Playstation. I can't remember why but this was replaced at some point with a redesigned PSOne. Maybe I sold it?

XBox (Halo and Ninha Gaiden are still the best overall gaming experience I've ever had I think, absolute magic).

PSP

Some time into the life of the Xbox I got a PS2, solely to play God of War and Shadows of the Colossus.

XBox 360 (this was refreshed once to a black one, maybe it RROD'd, can't remember). Think I got it with Project Gotham and GRAW.

PS3 and PS Vita

Xbox One fat, with the Kinnect (bundled with Forza MS 5).

PS4 - only kept this around a year.

Switch - brilliant but sold to release cash as I really didn't have time for it.

Xbox One X

And as soon as I could I got an Xbox Series X.

My fondest memories relate to the C64, Megadrive, Mac, original PlayStation and the Xbox 360.

I still game a fair bit but nothing like the old days and I think the 360 was the high watermark of that age where you have limited responsibilities, lots of time, and a bit of spare cash.

I'd meet my friends at the local pub two or three times a week but nearly every other night I'd play something single player and then a COD session would start. The lobbies were disgusting in hindsight but those were the times.

lol what a classic!

PS5

My Mega Drive was my first console and I loved the shit out of it. I believe I must have got it in Xmas '92. I spent way too much time on it especially considering I only had like 5 games for it total. My Mom ended up destroying it in temper one day and that's how I got a Mega Drive 2.

PS1 came next and I believe it must have been Xmas '97. This console is now my favourite of all time and is definitely the reason I've remained a life long gamer. I can't overstate the impact FFVII had on 10 year old me from Europe who had no idea games could be like that.

Can't think of a good PS2 anecdote other than I got it on launch and managed to dodge the launch model disc read issue. I broke my first one trying to get copied games to work on it before the proper disk swap tools were available (I used a fucking knife).

Started to have disposable income at this point and I guess is the moment I became a collector. I bought a Gamecube and Mega CD around this time and started buying and rebuying Sega stuff.

Got a PS3 soon after launch when they started throwing in two free games and an extra controller. Started to get a lot of disposable income and lived alone and decided to become a problem drinker for a few years. Bought a 360, slowly realised there were like 3 exclusive games on there I was remotely bothered about. I did this generation completely backwards and should have used 360 for multiplatforms rather than its exclusives.

Late in this gen is when I got the space and the inclination to really start collecting and I now own everything. Only haven't got around to XSX yet.

I'm spotting about 4 or 5 binatone users here. Respect.

Built a Pentium 1 and then after a while a Pentium 3
Playstation One
Xbox
Xbox 360 - Soooooo much Gears of War hoard mode and Rainbow 6 Thunt (thanks UBI, you fucked that game)
PS4- defected to Sony after MS dropped the ball
PS5 -May be defecting back to MS next gen cause Sony are showing distinct signs of cuntishnish

Geez thats alot of money right there, especially as I tend to be a day one moron

PC ownership has been driven mainly by football manager, the ones I built were for that. After a while I could not be bothered building, so they were purchased with almost the sole intention of getting that game running like hot butter. What can I say, it was an obsession.

Even though I have a humongous Steam pile of shame, I don't tend to play games on PC these days, other than FM, it's mainly a media box. I have a compact mini-ish PC next to my TV and I run plex and all the normal internet stuff hooked up directly

Also have a PC on a Sim racing rig in the spare room

If it's not lists then I'm not interested.
I find it easier to converse in lists.
The format appeals to me.
This thread therefore appeals to me.
Because of the lists.
Did I mention I like lists?
More importantly.
Is this a list?

5 REM Brand lulz
10 PRINT "Lol @ Amstrad owners"
20 GO TO 10

At least I only had 1, and I was 5yr old.

My cousin had a CPC which we played loads before he got a Mega Drive. Often Roland on the Ropes or original TMNT, which was all kinds of shit in hindsight.
