  It was not my first (this would have been the Atari 2600), but the console that still has a very special place in my heart is the Atari Jaguar

  Dreamcast was the best.

  I grew up in the SNES vs Genesis war and I only knew one person with a Genesis and even they thought the SNES was better.

    Growing up I had a Genesis because I wanted to play Sonic 2. I remember 3 of my friends also having a Genesis, only 1 that I remember had a SNES and he was also one of the 3 with a Genesis. There were 2 that I remember stuck with NES, 1 played on his family’s PC (ooh fancy), and 1 I don’t think had any video game systems. The first real Nintendo fanboy I met was my college roommate, but that wasn’t until the mid-00’s.

    SNES probably was better, but I had more exposure to the Genesis so that’s what I wanted.

    Genesis owner in the 90s here. Yes. My dad did not know video games. I said I like Mario. I wanted to play RPGs and Super Mario.

    My dad went to the store, asked what I assume is some 19 year old Sega fanboy which console was the best, and got told to buy the Genesis.

    On a positive note, the Genesis Sonic games were pretty cool, and so was Jurassic Park. So, it’s not like Genesis sucked. It’s just…MARIO!!! I WANT MARIO!!!

    Eventually I got an SNES, but by then it was 1996. I immediately got Mario Paint, Super Mario Allstars + Super Mario World (in one cart), Legend Of Zelda Link to the Past, and Mario Kart.

    Eventually I’d get Chrono Trigger, Earthbound, Donkey Kong Country, Super Mario RPG, Batman Forever, and some Star Wars game.

    Flea markets in the 90s were the best.

      To which my response was “Well… Nintendo doesn’t suck.” They clearly didn’t test that slogan amongst children. 😌

    I had a Sega Megadrive that I loved but still thought SNES was better.

  My first console was an Atari 2600. Well that was my family’s first.

  My own fist was the original NES. Saved up my paper route money to buy it.

    My first was the 5200 and my favorite game was Joust. Killing the pterodactyl was the highlight too.

      The 5200’s was the best home version of Joust.

  Does the Offspring come to mind when thinking of the Dreamcast? I can’t get it out of my head now.

    Crazy Taxi had them on the soundtrack and it was a Dreamcast game… Maybe that?

    • folkrav@lemmy.ca ⁨1⁩ ⁨hour⁩ ago

      Fuuuuck I rented that game so much back then. If it wasn’t available every other weekend at my local video store it was 100% my fault.

  Atari Jaguar. No one I knew had one and the only place to play one was a single game store in a mall that you had to pay to play. I paid twice to play and was in love.

    I had an 800. Had the cassette tape media drive and some game for it, but could never get it working.

    Also had that awful ET game.

    I recall writing a screensaver in basic and letting it run overnight.

      Hey, do you want like 400,000 more copies of E.T? They’re just sitting there. In some landfill.

    That is just inviting people to start throwing out names of lesser-known systems. Can we narrow it down to Western (including South America), Eastern European, or South-east Asian before we start?
