I have an Xbox 1 (FAR CRY 5), Xbox 360 (The Simpsons video game), a Nintendo Switch (Luigi’s Mansion 3/Pikmin 4), and a functioning Game Cube without memory cards.
I have an Apple IIe, Atari 2600, Sega Saturn, Sega Dreamcast, Nintendo Wii modded to play Gamecube roms with GC controllers, Xbox 360 and a Switch. Also, an arcade machine with an X-Arcade tankstick controller that plays just about every 80’s coin-op you can think of. Oh, and a dedicated Minecraft server. I felt it was important to teach my daughter the classics.
Actually never owned one. I never saw the draw. I played a lot of early games on computer, the SSI D&D games, the Wizardry series, Bards Tale, Ultima, you get the picture. Loved the old Dungeon Hack (have the GoG version that plays in Dos Box, but would love to see it updated like BT and Wizardry have been recently). Even have some of the more recent ones. But FPS were boring to me.
My daughter had a Sega Genesis back in high school, but after she went to college, she gave it away. It was outdated. Loved Toe Jam and Earl. We played hours together.
I also Mudded back in the day and helped run a MUD that still exists today and still has active Devs. Haven’t been in there in years, but I bet there are still things I built in it Met wonderful people from all over the world back when everyone didn’t believe me.
Have helped run game cons back eons ago, think the first ones were in the early 80s and later ones in the early 00s. Set up LANS all that stuff, watched people play guitar hero and DDR after too much uberwater.
But all in all game consoles still don’t attract me at all.
@Cerridwyn Nice! I logged a lot of hours with the Wizardry, Bard’s Tale and Ultima games. I’m guessing you also played Might & Magic. Might be time to break out the old Proving Grounds floppies
@Cerridwyn Dang, I also used to love MUDs. It’s probably been over 30 years since I last played, but they were a blast. Wish I could remember the server I played on.
@capnjb the updated version is quite red. It really is like playing the old one with a new computer. You can play with new graphics and the old Graphics are all there. They basically took the game and just rebuilt the graphic user interface
@capnjb there were so many of them you’d probably have to know which mud you played. I played Avatar and that’s the one I also worked on for many many years

@capnjb gives you three cheers

@Cerridwyn I did a little googling and found what I was looking for. I played on SlothMUD. A lot.
Early 90’s.
The Ratchet & Clank series on playstations are fun…
@blaineg I have no PlayStations but those games are ones I am going to get first.
+Astrobot. Astrobot deserved GOTY
