i went

atari 2600 > mega drive > PSX

 

[Sparx]

weird a few there i've never heard of, had so many of the more recent ones tho

 

[Sparx]

for me 2600->NES->master system->megadrive->super NES->N64->Saturn->PS1->PS2->Xbox->Gamecube->Xbox360

 

[phazey]

Apart from the obvious, i had a "pong" tv game - not sure what one there, and the Phillips Videopac (ugly thing with the attampt of a keyboard)....

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Commodore 64 > Mega Drive > SNES > Playstation > Gamecube > PS2 > Wii

 

[cHodAX]

C16 --> C64 --> Amiga 500 --> Amiga 600 with HDD --> Amiga 1200 --> CD32 (anyone see a trend yet? ) --> 3DO --> PC --> PSX --> Dreamcast --> PS2 --> Xbox --> Xbox 360

Had a Spectrum 128 and an Atari ST as well but they didn't last long, my love for Commodore computers runs deep Oh, had an Atari Jaguar for 3 months as well, when you could buy them on clearance sale for £20

Yes, I had a Panasonic 3DO. Great system, shame about the lack of developer support really.

 

[Calaen]

Atari thing, Nes, Master System, Snes, Megadrive 2, PS1, Nintendo 64, Sega Saturn, Game Cube, Dream Cast,PS2, X-box, Wii.

Had a couple of those more than one time, also played alot of spectrum, Atari st 520 and early commodore stuff

 

[babs]

Spectrum 48K > Spectrum 128K > Master System > Gameboy > Amiga 1200 > Jap Megadrive > PC Engine > SNES > N64 > Dreamcast > GC > PS2 > NES (yes, in that order) > GBA > Xbox > GBA SP > DS > 360 > Wii

Maybe something else in there, my old age impairs my memory. Yes, I skipped both playstation and Saturn, I've nearly bought a Japanese Saturn soooo many times in the last couple of years though

 

[Wij]

Consoles only (no speccy, ST or PCs or handhelds)

SNES -> PSX -> Saturn -> Chipped & Switched Saturn -> N64 -> Jap DC -> UK DC -> PS2 -> XBox -> GC

Of those the Saturn and Jap DC brought me the most pleasure

 

[Deacan]

I still have the original Pong console, my mum gave it to me many years ago.

 

[Whipped]

We have a Panasonic 3DO home here

 

[Yaka]

Almost bought one last year on a carboot sale for £10, wish I had now but my folks were with me at the time and kept saying I am nuts

 

[DocWolfe]

master system > megadrive/snes > n64 > xbox
gameboy > gameboy colour
Amstrad (no hd, two floppy drives) > Intel Pentium MX 200Mhz, 400MB HD > Intel Pentium 3 800Mhz, 1.2GB HD > AMD Athlon Tbird 1.2Ghz, 30GB HD, 256 MB RAM > AMD A64 3000+ (skt 754), 250GB HD, 1GB DDR RAM

ok... well I was bored so I included my pcs. Used to play megadrive with my cousin back in the day until late at night on Streets of Rage (awesome game).

 

[Yaka]

stay away tbh, i think there are mus for it so roms should not be hard to find try it that way

 

[Fana]

C64 (tape drive) -> Gameboy -> 486 dx2-66 (4mb ram iirc) -> pentium 120mhz 24mb ram -> pentium2 360mhz 64mb ram (i think) -> N64 -> pentium4 2.53ghz 256mb ram (upgraded to 768mb later) -> pentium4 2.8ghz 1 gig ram -> Nintendo DS -> xbox360

Didnt really game for a period of about 4 years between the p2 and the p4, hence the big leap in performance there ^^

 

[phazey]

Bah, can't edit, so here's my full history continued:

pong-game->phillips videopac->speccy->c64->a500->pcengine->lynx->genesis->gamegear->gameboy->ps1->a1200->cd32->pc->ps1->n64->DC->ps2->xbox->360

i think.

 

[soze]

Playstation One > Dreamcast > PSOne > Playstaion 2 > PSTwo > 360 > Coming soon
Gameboy > Gamegear > PSP

Hmm Fuck knows about the order but hre's a rough guess.... some telly tennis thingy. Can't remember it's name but it had about 10 pong type games on it
Then we got a spectrum +
Spectrum +2a (with lightgun) Op Wolf ftw!
386sx 25 mhz
486sx 50 (i think)
Pentium 90
K6 something
K6-2 500
It was around this time I started buying consoles from boot fairs I think so...
Mega drive
Master system
Dreamcast
Sega Saturn
There's an Amiga in there somewhere but that only saw 5 mins of play time before being wrapped up and shoved in the garage.
Back to pc's...
Athlon 1400
Got a Athlon 2400 XP right now (still)
Oh and a Ps2 and a gamecube. I got the gamecube before the ps2 but sold it to get the ps2. Then someone at work offered the gamecube for 15 quid with bongos so I got that but I think it might be sold very soon cos it's got fuck all games out for it now.
Oh I got a gameboy colour from a boot fair but only booted it up for about 5 mins. Still gathering dust now.

Well, that and if he'd have added any other consoles to the list we'd have called him a liar and asked what he did with the real Bodhi

NES
Megadrive
SNES
