For me:

Atari- it was actually for my dad, but I remember playing a little when I was young. I remember this baseball game with stick figures where you could hit a home run every single time. Also, Pac Man was played like it was meant to be played with that joy stick.

Nintendo- This was when I really got started into gaming. I was a beast at Mario. Mike Tyson punch out was pretty awesome too. RBI baseball also. Nolan Ryan was a beast with the Stros.

Genesis- don't remember many games on here except Sonic. Still fun though.

(Super Nintendo- didn't own one, but played a whole lot. Ken Griffy Jr. baseball for the win)

N64- Played a ton of games on here. Got started with my NCAA and Madden days here. Played a lot of 007, Mario Kart, Mortal Combat, wrestling etc. here. Tons of fun.

PS2- Grand Theft Auto and NCAA became my games of choice here.

PS3- My current console. Mostly just stick to NCAA and COD now, but have played some MLB the Show and a few other games here and there.

Will be making the jump to PS4 soon hopefully.

It's weird to think the n64 was just two consoles ago for me. It's amazing how far consoles have come.

For me it started with SNES.

Looney Tunes B-Ball
Super Mario World
Mario 1,2,3
Uniracers
Donkey Kong Country

Those are the ones that stick out to me. I was really young.

N64- I could list the games for hours. My first game was QB Club 98. The games I probably played the most were OoT, MM, Mario Kart, Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64, Super Smash Bros., Mario Party 2, and Goldeneye.

GameCube- LOVED NBA Street Vol. 2. Also played a ton of WindWaker, Luigi's Mansion, NCAA Football, Mario Parties, and Melee.

PS2- This was probably the console that my brother and I had the most fun on together. We must have fought each other in DBZ Budokai 2-3, Tenkaichi and Tenkaichi 2 over 5000 times. Then there was Viewtiful Joe, Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2, Shaman King, the first Naruto game, and NCAA Baseball.

From there I went 360 and Wii and now I'm PC with a slight chance of getting a PS4.

SNES: I still remember my brother bringing down an already wrapped Christmas present from upstairs while holding a comb in his other hand. That was the first day that I learned
A: we were getting Mortal Combat for Christmas
B: how to open a gift without anyone ever knowing

Also loved Mario Kart(I never got to be Yoshi ), Street Fighter, Super Mario Bros(still the one and only game on any console that we had to fight mom for playing time) and Super Baseball 2020. My brother loved beating my arse in Techmo Superbowl, but that's only because at the time, I didn't even know what a first/second/third down even was.

N64: Goldeneye. Everything else is off in a distant 2nd. My brother always beat my arse, but I loved this game. I still get a smile when thinking of shooting that commie bastard hanging out in the stall.
Obviously loved Mario Party # and NFL Blitz.

GameCube: LOL

XBOX: Halo. All day every day.

360: Halos, all day every day. Then when State of Decay came along: all day every day

tONE: CoD and Forza are my current go to, but that should be replaced by Halo/Titanfall in the near future.

The first I was able to get was N64, then it followed this path.

N64->PS2->Gamecube->SNES->Xbox->X360->PS3->Wii->PS4

That's where I'm at now.

N64, PS2, and PS360 were my most played consoles each generation (I never had an original Playstation). I played a few PC games before Xbox, but I didn't actually start playing them seriously until after I owned a Wii.

XBox360.

There was a dreamcast mixed in there somewhere too.

The gap in consoles for me makes perfect sense. the n64 was released in '96ish. Around '98 I think is when I started playing Warcraft 2 on AOL and then Everquest came out not long after that and I never looked at a console again for a lonnng time.

*ETA* forgot the wii

- Atari 2600: We owned one but I don't have a ton of memories playing it.
- Atari 130XE: Technically my first computer.
- NES: I still vividly remember the birthday I got this.
- (Gameboy)
- Genesis: My main system for a long time.
- Sega CD: Saved up $300 for this piece of crap. When I got it home the first one didn't work so I had to exchange it for a new one. I should've took that as a sign and just waited for the N64.
- SNES: Technically my brother's but I played it a ton.
- Dreamcast: First console after focusing on PC gaming for a while.
- PS2
- (Gameboy SP)
- Gamecube: My favorite console of it's generation.
- Xbox: I got one for free with KOTOR and the DVD remote from one of those "Get a free IPOD" type sites that were all the rage back in the day.
- (Nintendo DS Lite)
- Wii
- Xbox 360
- PS3
- PS4
- (Nintendo 3DS)

Atari - I was very young so I barely remember what I played on it.
Intellivison - Same as above. I played frogger and pitfall but I can't remember which system
NES - played the crap out of it. you name it, I played it.
SNES - Another great system, Don't know what to say other than how awesome it was
N64 - Sadly I barely played it other than Ocarina of Time. I missed out on a lot of good games for it.
PS1 - i only played a handful of games and I barely remember what they were. I did play a lot of demo discs and I had that Syphon Filter demo on lockdown.
PS2 - When my dad heard that it played dvd's also, he went out and bought me one. I played a lot of this too. my grades suffered a lot due to this system. Most of the time on it was madden/ncaa and GTA.
xbox - I bought one late in the cycle just to play kotor 1 and 2 and it was worth it.
PS3 - Sadly i missed most of this generation working and trying to be responsible, mistake on my part. I just picked it back up a little over a year ago with AC2 and haven't looking back
PC - When i discovered a year ago how easy pc gaming was and how I could build my own machine i had to do it. I have been very happy with it and love this platform

Sega CD

I bought one of these too, but I forgot to list it. There were a couple of good games for it but I definitely regret that purchase in hindsight.
