Here is a list of the videogames systems I've ever owned:

Intellivision (Dad sold it at a yard sale)
Atari 2600 (Dad sold it at a yard sale)
Nintendo (I have three of these. Two are the old versions that don't work anymore, and the other is the top-loading version that's hooked up to my TV right now)
Super Nintendo (Stuffed in my closet. Broken)
Game Boy (Packed away and inoperable)
Game Boy Pocket (Gave it to my friends, who were portable-game-less)
Game Boy Color (Remains in the bathroom, with only Tetris inside it, unless my brother comes over, when he puts Pokemon in)
Game Boy Advance (Currently Playing Dragon Warrior on this)
Sega Master System (Bought this PAL version about a year and a half ago. Was never able to operate it on my NTSC tele)
Sega Genesis (Stopped playing it because it now emits a buzzing sound whenever I operate it)
Sega CD (Stuffed in my closet, connected to my Sega Genesis)
Sega Game Gear (My dad shoved his pocket knife inside it and farked up the screen. Trashed it)
Sega Nomad (Traded this online for my Top-Loading NES system)
Sega Saturn (Stuffed in my closet. Needs some repair, maybe just a replacement connector)
Sega Dreamcast (Stuffed in my closet. It resets at random, so I gave up on it)
Sony Playstation (I went through two of these. My last one I traded in to EB for my Game Boy Advance. Seemed like a rip off then, but it's a deal now)
Sony Playstation 2 (I'm on my third one of these. Currently hooked up to my TV, alongside my top-loading NES)
PC (750 MGHZ Intel Celeron, 19 GB storage, li'l over 200MB RAM, virus/torjan/spyare-filled piece of crap. Typing this message with it now)

I've been playing videogames all of my life. I remember my Uncle giving me my Intellivision, and my favorite games on that were Burger Time and the Dungeon-Hack-style Dungeons and Dragons game. I was too young to know where my Atari came from, but I remember my favorite game on that was (believe it or not) Strawberry Shortcake. My first brand-new system was my first NES, given to my older brother and I on Christmas morning when I was (I think) four years old. I remember thinking that it came with Zelda packed inside for quite some time, because when my parents wrapped the system, they stuffed Zelda in the NES box.

Ah...the memories. I, for one, do NOT planning on depriving my future kids of the joy of videogames. I plan on playing videogames with them, just like I always wished my father would do with me.

P.S. This thread just gave me an idea. Can anyone say, "TFP Halo 2 party"? Not that we all have to play Halo 2, but any sort of videogame party would be kinda cool.
