My parents never got me a console when I was a kid. I do remember the Atari Video Computer System (aka the 2600), Intellivision, Colecovision, NES, etc. I even remember a friend who had a Nintendo console that was imported from Asia and wasn't NES compatible. I think it might have been the Family Computer, which was the basis for the NES. I played games on my Apple //c but mostly used the keyboard for controls. I did get an Atari Lynx with money I earned during a summer/part-time job. That was way better than a Game Boy other than eating batteries like crazy. I used NiCads or a power adapter.

The first console I ever had was a Nintendo 64 in the Star Wars Episode I Racer pack. I remember getting laid off soon after I got it with plenty of time to play it between going to job interviews. I also got a South Park game and a few really bad games. But this was the original set I got:

I got an Xbox 360 (with Kinect) from a friend who worked at Microsoft. That thing was dangerous to loose objects in my living room. I think he also got me one game, but for the most part I didn't play it much and it's collecting dust somewhere. I'm not really much on console games.

Intellivision, Sega Genesis, N64, PlayStation, Game Cube, PS2, Wii, WiiU, Switch, Xbox-Husband and son have had many iterations, and quite frankly, I've had almost every type of Gameboy. I never owned an Atari of any kind, sadly.

I remember a family friend had an Atari 400 home computer. It was kind of odd because it had this membrane keyboard, although it had ridges for each key. But it was different because it also accepted cartridges that could be games or data ROM, and they had Centipede.

 

[White Cat]

Zero.

 

[MamaMermaid]

I had a Gameboy Color and a PS2. Once I married my husband, I inherited a lot more...

I also have an AlienWare gaming computer. The PS5 was technically a Christmas gift for my husband but we all knew who it was really for .

The 400 was the lower end model of the 800 - good for kids though. Those Atari 8-bit computers were great machines though! I think teh 400 lacked the expandability, but you could have kept an 800 viable for a more than a decade with ram upgrades. Sometimes I think about buying an old Atair 8-Bit, though I think the 800XL is the best unit to get. I kinda dig the chonky, 70's aesthetic of the 800 though.

I personally have had a game boy and a nintendo DS.
I think that my husband has had at least one of every version of every game system ever released to the general public since the first Pong console. And multiple of many of them.

 

[DDuckSouthBend]

Does Pong count?

If not just a Wii
