In chronological order.
C64 - Bought as a Christmas present for me and my brother when we were kids
Master System - Ditto
Mega Drive - Ditto
Sega Saturn - Ditto
N64 - Traded my Saturn in at the local dodgy games guy at the market for this as soon as I saw/played Mario 64
Playstation - Traded my N64 with a kid from school in order to get cheap copied games with my pocket money
Dreamcast - My brother and I saved dinner money, pocket money and babysitting money to club together for this
PC - Parents bought this one after years of me telling them I 'needed it for school work'
Playstation 2 - As above, though by now my older brother had a proper job which made this easier
GameCube - Brother bought it, now in a full time job
360/Wii - Bought with my own money working at Currys at similar times (can't remember which came first)
PS3 - Brother bought this just before moving out, took it with him
Wii U - Bought it my brother for his birthday, ended up playing it more than him
PS4 - Bought as a boring adult
Switch - Bought as a boring adult
Series S - Bought as a boring, tight adult
Too many handhelds over the years to remember but I think it went GameBoy Colour > GBA > DS > DS Lite > 3DS. Upgraded the PC a few times over the last twenty years too (though I've never had anything cutting edge).
Favourites - Mega Drive, N64, Dreamcast, GameCube. Never really gelled with with Sony like everyone else did (despite owning every console they've ever made bar the PS5).

I have a PS4 but it was given to me by a friend and the only game I've played on it is Bloodborne, so I don't think it counts really.

Don't even know what the fuck a binatone is It was a relatively basic Pong simulator for the most part but you could pick from other games by moving a switch |

I'm spotting about 4 or 5 binatone users here. Respect. Pretty sure that was the one now I have googled it, to be honest it was my Dad's but that was my first memory of playing games. |

A switch. It had these toggle like switches on the console to choose what game you wanted to play. Had about 8 games built in I think we just played Pong all the time on ours |

Hmmm, okay if I remember rightly it goes a little something like this:
- Commodore 16 (mostly playing Fire Ant and Treasure Island, and trying to follow code exercises in basic)
- Vic 20 (we were burgled and friends of ours loaned us this to try and replace my stolen C16)
- Amiga 500
- Mega Drive
- N64 (I only had access to the Amiga and Mega Drive for years, so by the time I could get an N64 I was gagging for a better console!)
- Gamecube
- PSOne (I was late to the PS owning party, but had this and the Gamecube on rotation for a while)
- PS2 Slim
- Xbox 360
- PS3 (phat one, managed to blag one when working at SCEE as I only had the 360 at the point I was hired)
- Vita
- PS4 (my very first console purchased at launch!!!)
- PS5
I realise in posting this that whilst I've owned a lot of consoles only one of them was purchased on launch day (the PS5 was as early as I could grab one, but still months after launch) so for a long time I was relying on playing at friend's houses for new releases etc.

I think a really/more interesting thread would be along the lines of "Talk in proper anecdote form about your memories of a given system or console" to get a bit of back and forth and nostalgia going. Maybe there is one but I wouldn't limit this to retro. I might make one when this dies down if somebody else doesn't. Only lists! No discussing. #notmylists |
