1. Atari 7800: Was backwards compatible with 2600 games which at time were cheap. Parents brought home games by the bag full lol. Favorite game was pole position.
2. NES: Where real love for gaming began. Still remember grinding for level ups/weapons in Final Fantasy before going into the marsh cave.
3. Sega Genesis: Altered Beast and Sonic 2.
4. Super Nintendo: All time favorite system. Only "retro" system I kept and still own.
5. Sega CD: Dupped by the hype. Sewer Shark and Dragon's Lair were fun for the first 30 min...
6. Genesis 32x: Last time I would allow Sega to fool me. Refused to get Dreamcast, Saturn, or anything Sega after this.
7. Playstation 1: Final Fantasy 7. Still remember playing Madden in weekly college tournaments. Ahhh, Madden before online...
8. Nintendo 64: Few games, but some of the best in gaming history. Mario 64 & Golden Eye 007.
9. Playstaion 2: . First system I played football online, even though it was mainly NCAA.
10. GameCube: Windwaker still is my favorite Zelda game. Overall, an 'ok' system.
11. Wii: Least favorite Nintendo System. Some great games (Mario Galaxy) but too few games to keep my attention.
12. Xbox 360: Was my system of choice this generation. JRPG Lost Odyssey, Western RPG Kingdom of Amalur, and the best versions of Madden. Oh, and achievements. Still don't get why Nintendo doesn't implement a system-wide achievments system.
13. PS3: God Of War 3 was cool. But exclusives I felt were not good enough to distinguish it from 360 which repeatedly had better versions even with supposedly worse tech than PS3.
14. Wii U: At time of this original post (5/8/13). Owned Nintendo Land, Super Mario U, Assassins Creed 3, Trine 2, Madden 13 (which has been my game of choice), Lego City Undercover, and Injustice Gods Amomg Us (which has been taken my attention as of late). Despite its slow start, with the announced lineup of upcoming Nintendo games, believe this system will turn out to be one of Nintendo's best. Wii started off fast and ended up slow. Wii U started slow, but if Nintendo doesn't mess up anymore, will excel.
*Also owned handhelds: Gameboy, Sega Gamegear, Nintendo DS, Sony PSP, and Nintendo 3DS
