I have every system our familiy has ever owned. I have never sold anything becasue I have been into the classic systems since I 7 (1994). I never cared about getting a playstation or a sega saturn or n64... though I wish I would have got the n64 sooner. I just could never let the classics go, I just wish I would have collected games back when I was younger instead of just playing them, oh well it was great fun.

Bought the Atari VCS at launch...still have it. We still have my wife's original 5200 that was purchased the day it came out. Other than those, I still have an original Telstar.

 

I also still have my PS2 which is alive and well.

I wish I had

 

My first system was a second hand C64 with 1541. I worked all summer for it

and I spent the next years glued to it. It had 4 modified DOS's installed which

you could select with a selector on the side. Four leds on top showed which one was active (I remember Speeddos and Quickload). Pretty cool plus it really made a huge difference in diskaccess time. (esp. copying games

)

 

but then I wanted an Amiga ever since I saw it run a demo at a friend's house (paranoimia anyone ?) . It was the first time I heard sampled stereo music coming from a computer. lol I even taped it to play it for my friends " Listen to this, it's a computer !"

 

Since I didn't have any money at those days as a kid, I had to sell my beloved C64 as I HAD to own an Amiga. (which where pretty damn expensive)

 

The same happened with the Amiga and following Amiga's.

 

I never had any of the cool consoles when they where first introduced (2600, Vectrex, intellivision etc) since there just wasn't any money for it

back then when I was a kid. probably the biggest drive to start collecting them 20 years later

 

I do still have the Dreamcast I bought originally, which I still love and play. And the first gameboy but that's about it.
