I just remembered my childhood, and how many consoles have been forgotten. How many old memories have been washed away. This thread is to pay homage to all the consoles of the past, which are now forgotten. Write your favourite old console and a defining moment with your old console here, and it'll go in the obituaries, and be remembered forever.

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.

Ok. Super Nintendo Added.
-
R.I.P. Game boy advance
-
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
-
R.IM.P. NES
Why must the good die young!?
-
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.
-
Updated.
-
R.I.P PLAYSTATION 2
2000-Soon
'WAIT...THIS ISN'T DEAD YET!'
Fixed.
-
They'll probably be some game about the 2012 olympics on it, though.
-
I would say R.I.P dreamcast, but mine's very much alive and kicking and tends to eat peoples souls if they dare call it dead :frown:
-
you know something.. I still own every console and games I have ever owned in my life :gawe:
I later brought a second SNES off a friend too...
yeah...
Edit: with except to my first PS2 which raped itself..
-
Your forgetting the gameboycolour guys :O
-
what about the one before that? the Gameboy Pocket.
and my GBA still works, tho it is showing signs of breaking down.
-
N64?
-
also good. i also have a NES the still works perfectly.
-
Right, updated the list nao.
-
The only signs of breakdown from my GBA SP is the power switch, sometimes when I turn it on it turns off straight away :(
-
I love the game boy colour. Its so bad.
-
I have
2 SNES consoles
1 Gameboy Pocket, Limited Edition Transparent Blue Colour
and my PS2 :gawe:
-
nobody reacted to my paraphrase...
-

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 still rock the Vectrex:

-
R.I.P. Atari 2600
-
You forgot consoles like the Magnavox Odyssey, Evo Phase 1, The horrible PipPin etc...
-
That's what I was gettiing at. I didn't bother though because FOTEPX knows everything.
R.I.P. Magnavox oddysey 2 (I have one and I need to get around to fixing it)
-
FOTEPX knows everything.
Thanks. I'll update the list right now.
-
Make sure to add
SOTG's own threads
and
doesn't understand sarcasm.
NOW BACK ON TOPIC.
-
I'll update the list right now.
sparkface, that sentence there... it is on-topic.
and that thing from Kill reminds me of stuff you would find in an arcade hall.

Oh, I thought he was talking about another list-y thing-y he brought up a while ago. Like a list of mess ups.
-
RIP original Xbox
I didn't have it, but playing Voodoo Vince in Gamestop was so satisfying.
-
What about that old Galactica thing that only played Galactica.
-
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.
-
RIP
Pong "The pioneer of video games."
-
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.
-
What about Medal of Honor?
-
Have you played Rising Sun? I beat it. I hate it.
-
I played it for a little while.
-
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.
Holy,i have that.Online match?
-
Sega megadrive. Soo much fun, even my mum and dad got in on the fun
Till dad decided to throw it away for no apparent reason :/
Least I got the sega mega collection and sonic mega collection on ps2. But there was no Bubsy on it :(
