Got my first console in 1983...the Atari 2600. Wound up getting 40 or so games for it in the end. Went through 5 or so joysticks and a couple of power adapters. My brother still has it in St. Louis.

I got an Intellivision in 1984. Now that was a sweet console. Very state-of-the-art for its time. My brother also has that back home.

My brother got a Sega Master System, but by the time he got it, it was going the way of the 'saurs. I think he still has that too.

I had an NES all of 3 months. My brother broke it. Bastard. We wound up getting another one years later.

He got a Genesis in the early '90s. I have it here in Philadelphia. Great system. You could still rent the games at Blockbuster until a few years ago. I always did like it.

I got a PSX 2 Xmases ago. Another great system. I enjoy it to no end, and it was especially useful during my periods of unemployment. Just got new games for it at Xmas time. In fact, I will be using it for a Sharon vs. Arafat match. (More on that later.)

I played X-Box at dham's place in January. It IS nice...fantastic graphics. I still lean towards PS2 though...I may buy one this Xmas.
