PS1,PS2 - GT series 1-4

Xbox - Halo 1+2, PGRs....... first online experience

+ a Nintendo Gamecube in there somewhere, but that was short-lived

[vladcjelli]

In the beginning there was....



then



onwards and upwards to



onto the consoles



the Sega era continued



until the Nintendo invasion





also had one of these around this time



But the lure of the Sony was irresistible



until the cd drive died. Then PCs took over.

[Insert photo of beige box]

Time for Bills effort



and the follow up



which is currently lying dead in the shed with the red ring of death.

Every now and again whip out my



which I inherited. Only ever tinker with Gran Turismo on it.

Think that covers it. Although the urge to replace the xbox is growing strong, especially after reading the Forza unveiling thread.

Have a few computers now but don't really do PC gaming anymore. Use the Xbox for that, although do occasionally play some Chris Sawyer games and various other bits and bobs on the PC.

Where's that thread we had recently? My console collection is around 70 different items at the moment, mostly handhelds. Every single variation of Nintendo's Game Boys, every Sega console ever, every Sony, and loads of random stuff that most people have never heard of. Recently picked up a Bandai Wonderswan, for example.

As a kid though I went Game Boy->Game Gear->Game Boy Pocket->Game Boy Color->Game Boy Advance. Always the handhelds as I was at boarding school.

I just found my sega game gear again only seem to have one game for it now but the next time I have 6 AA batteries knocking about I1m going to fire it up for a giggle

If the sound still works, and there's not loads of fluff on the screen, it'll be worth something. Not a lot, but something.

What game?

Only started looking for pictures as I really couldn't remember what the orange pong machine was called.

So typed in "Orange pong machine" and found the correct culprit.

Seemed a shame to leave the rest out after that.

I've always preffered PC games really and have had pretty decent PC's all the way through life, I still play my PC more than any console mainly because I just can't play FPS games on consoles. I spin around throwing nades into the floor most of the time. It's not pretty.
