PGD: Happy Birthday, Red!

[Reizilla]

Genesis was my first console, non-fancy one. Then my mom sold it +10 games and 5 controllers for $5 at a garage sale. Sad times.

 

[KayLo!]

I think I've had a console from every company except for Xbox. ****ing hate their controllers.

Never had a Dreamcast, though, which I highly regret.

 

[M15t3R E]

I had a Gamecast.

 

[Espy Rose]

I think I've owned every main console system at some point or another except for the SNES.
...And the first Xbox.

 

[Phantom Gamer]

basically Genesis, PS2, Gamecube, Wii, and at least one version of gameboy from Color to the 3ds.

 

[~automatic]

My neighbor had a Dreamcast so even though I never owned one I got to play it regularly.

 

[Phoenix Lord']

I like the Nintendo.

 

[Leaf.]

When I was a kid I found a Sega Genesis at a yard sale with like 10 games for 5 bucks.

Best $5 I ever spent as a child.
Still had every Nintendo system though.

And then when I was ~16 I got a PS2 solely for Kingdom Hearts.

 

[Geoberos]

Atari before I was self-aware
Nintendork from SNES+
PS1 hand-me-down from Uncle
Fresh PS2 Slim

Ooo, console histories.

Let's see if I can still use collapse tags and save the rest of you some TL;DR.

Spoiler

Got weaned on an Atari 7200, then bought the Genesis, then got an old-school Game Boy.
Got an NES and SNES and more Genesis games from my uncle. He worked at a movie rental store and when games couldn't be rented out anymore he kept them.
Eventually he got a PS1 and I ended up with that too.
I pretty much spazzed when I read Geo's post.
Kept up with every Game Boy at the moment of release up to the original Advance.
Then I got Broke.
Lost the Game Boy streak when I couldn't hit up the SP. Couldn't get my hands on another console for years. Did a lot of PC gaming anyway, so wasn't a thing.

Finally picked up a used Gamecube, and then a Wii, due to Melee and Brawl. Picked up a 360 too, but it's been languishing.

Mostly do PC gaming these days. Between Emulators and Steam I got almost everything I need.
Also Steam sales dear god.

I hate you

 

[Suspect]

So leaf actually DID have a childhood, this is good to hear.

 

[KayLo!]

I still have my doubts.

Although he's a KH fan, so all is forgiven in the eyes of the Kween.

 

[Suspect]

but KH sucks

 

[~automatic]

I found an SNES at goodwill once but it was reserved. I still have Super Mario World and Turtles In Time laying around somewhere so having an SNES again would be rad.

 

[Suspect]

I have a computer /buzzkill

 

[~automatic]

We all have computers.

 

[Suspect]

I still have Super Mario World and Turtles In Time laying around somewhere on my harddrive

One of the best games ever from my childhood!

 

[redfeatherraven]

Itty bitty INPO committee.

I hate you

I was waiting for this.

I was not disappointed.

I have a computer /buzzkill

~auto said it best; we all have computers.

Not going to hate, though. It's how I game too these days.

One of the best games ever from my childhood!

...but which?


I may actually be playing some Smash this evening, first time in a year. Anyone care to take bets on how badly I'll be curbstomped?

I actually meant TMNT Turtles in Time. You'll be fine, it's like riding a bike. I play 2v2 with friends most nights outta the week. I frequently do things that amaze people. It would be great if I was able to stream it.

 

[Leaf.]

I actually didn't have a childhood, I was born as a 22-year old and haven't aged at all.

 

[redfeatherraven]

You'll be fine, it's like riding a bike.

I appreciate the sentiment, but I was never very good to begin with.

To continue the analogy, my bike has no wheels and is pulled by a sled team of two hamsters and a chinchilla.
Chinchilla's not looking so good, either.

And your mother survived it?

 

[Geoberos]

I still have Super Mario World and Turtles In Time cartridges organized alphabetically in my cabinet.

 

[Suspect]

what a bad***

 

[~automatic]

I don't know anyone else who can say that. So yes; what a bad***.

 

[Suspect]

I can say that

 

[redfeatherraven]

Still got Earthbound around here somewhere.

Never got Turtles In Time though.

 

[Suspect]

Father Prime is lurking....

I shall return...

 

[Vinylic.]

I found a sega genesis last year and kept it.

I'm gonna keep it as a collector's item.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Or you could mod it.

Modding is good.

 

[Vinylic.]

You can modify it?

I had no idea.

 

[~automatic]

You can mod anything if you really wanna.

 

[ぱみゅ]

Let's mod a toaster.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Weld on a floodlamp that turns on whenever it operates.

Never fumble for your toast in the dark again.

 

[KayLo!]

Red, you're a genius.

 

[~automatic]

Not using your flame breath for toasting is for scrubs.

 

[Leaf.]

And your mother survived it?

Yeah, no problem.

Unrelated, guys, but I got a somewhat decent time in SMS tonight. http://prntscr.com/1cddf1
I'm about 13 minutes behind the world record.

 

[[FBC] ESAM]

Turtles in time was godlike.

Who had Mario All-stars for the SNES?
