PC was all I had. Commander Keen and Duke Nukem (original, not 2 or 3D) were my go-to games for a long while.
Eaaaaasily the Dreamcast, even though I think I was the only person I knew that had one. I think I had:
- Shenmue
- Power Stone
- Soulcalibur
- Quake III Arena
- Skies of Arcadia
- Capcom vs SNK
- Timestalkers
- Sonic Adventure
- Phantasy Star Online
Stellar lineup. I also loved my PlayStation.
Oh yeah the Dreamcast! Never saw a console with such a quirky lineup. My favorites were
- Rez
- Tokyo Xtreme Racer
- Cosmic Smash
- Crazy Taxi
- House of the Dead
- Space Channel 5 (right left chu chu chu!)
I’m really happy most of these games are available on Steam. Rez in VR is amazing (and Tetris Effect, made by the same team I think).
I would love to see a modern Power Stone game made
God, me too. I don’t understand why ‘arena fighters’ in that style just seemed to fall off the face of the earth.
Master System because I’m special
My Pentium 120 MhZ playing Duke Nukem, Quake, Diablo, Red Alert. All my friends had 133 MhZ so was the underdog at LAN meetups 🙂
I only got to truly experience Red Alert recently with the remake. My first taste of it was on PS1, and I remember it being pretty clunky. Come to think of it that was the first RTS I ever played
PC. Still my favorite now.
SNES, then PS2. PS2 was really something else.
Mine was the PS2. Ratchet and Clank, Ace Combat and Metal Gear Solid were my favorites
Nintendo DS, actually I think it still is, I was just playing Jump Ultimate Stars through Wiimmfi with a folk lol.
Definitely Game Boy. Made the 16 hour car ride to my dad’s house way better
N64. Apart from the usual suspects (Mario 64, Wave Race, Pilot Wings, Golden Eye, Dark Project), Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon still feels like I fever dreamed that crazy ass game up. It also had the only wrestling game I ever liked, but forgot the name.
Commodore 64, as was style at the time. I have 4 different versions in my collection, and I still use them few times a week.
Probably NES. I had Atari, Sega Genesis, and PC, then later Sega Game Great, GB Advance, and XBox, but NES was the most fun imo. I mostly only played Street Fighter on Genesis.
For my kids, it’ll probably be PC. They love Minecraft, and haven’t played on our Switch a ton.
MSDOS
I remember being like 5 years old and my grandfather (who built the PC for us and would later take me to computer shows) made a “cheat sheet” for me telling me how to “cd” etc in order to find and run my games
I had a copy of DOS for Dummies. super helpful, the official manual for MSDOS 5.0 was really dry/uninteresting

SNES followed by the PS2.
