Reminds me of my cousin's old Super Nintendo. Theme Park, Super Mario All Stars, Super Street Fighter II were the titles I remember playing! What adventures! Or at least working out how to put the cartridges in.

The Sega Gamegear.

Playing sega megadrive games on a handheld. But the best part is, that these graphics were almost equal to that of a gameboy advance. 10 years earlier. Epic console.

Which is why my family still owns one. Sonic the hedgehog 1 and 2 ftw :D

RIP Nintendo Gamecube

I had so much fun playing Mario Party 6 and Star Wars: Rebel Strike on you. Best birthday ever. Me and my friend, playing Mario Party for hours, waiting for my dad to come home with a memory card.

RIP Original Playstation

Thank you uncle Joel for one of my first consoles. Spyro 2 & 3? Best ever!

RIP Playstation 2

Another gift from my uncle. SSX Tricky and Star Wars Battlefront II were the greatest.

i have the normal GBA. only flaws it has now is the the lid for the battery's is broken (so i use tape to keep it together) and the Start and Select buttons sometimes don't work. but that is all there is to it really.

I didn't have it, but playing Voodoo Vince in Gamestop was so satisfying.

RIP Gameboy Color.  You were my first.  However scant your colors, may they not be forgot.

RIP Nintendo 64.  Thank you for introducing me to the world of 3D gaming.  You shall forever be known as my minimum level of acceptable graphics.

RIP Gameboy Advance.  The last warrior of the no-backlight frontier.

RIP Gamecube.  For though you had no online capabilities and only one analog stick on your controller, you gave us Paper Mario & The Thousand Year Door, and for that I will forever be thankful

RIP NES

I was 3 when I first played it (and when everyone else had an N64, no less), the memories I made with the three Super Mario Bros. titles will never be forgotten.

Gamecube had 2 analog sticks AND online functionality, though with a very limited range of games. You need to research better Sonny =P

Thousand year door is one of my favorite games though.

RIP Megadrive-
The memories I had with you and Altered Beast, Sonic the Hedgehog 1&2, Golden Axe, Cool Spot and Ecco the Dolphin will never be forgotten.

C-stick doesn't count, it's only good  for camera and smash movers in "Melee"; it's not like the Xbox and Playstation that have 2 analogs working in conjunction.

Metroid Prime uses similar dual-stick movement when compared to COD or Halo. As does Luigi's Mansion. There just weren't enough games to take advantage of it.

R.I.P The Power Glove. It was so bad (grrrr react to my deliberate refernce this time ;))
R.I.P The SNES. You had Super Metroid which automatically made you the best console ever :(

Star Wars Battlefront II were the greatest.

Sega megadrive. Soo much fun, even my mum and dad got in on the fun

Least I got the sega mega collection and sonic mega collection on ps2. But there was no Bubsy on it :(
