Ha... I have one. I just recently took a bunch of older systems and games and put them in a storage unit because of limited space. These are the ones that I packed up, leaving just my Wii, 360 and PS3 here:
- NES - SNES - N64 - Gamecube - Gameboy Player (a plug in unit that let you play Gameboy games on the Gamecube) - Turbo Grafx 16 - Sega Master System - Sega Genesis - Sega CD - Sega 32X - Sega Saturn - Sega Dreamcast - Panasonic 3DO - Phillips CD-i - PS1 - PS2 - Atari Jaguar
I never grabbed any of the classic Atari consoles and since I don't have the room right now, I haven't even looked around for one. I had a chance to buy both a Jaguar and Turbo Grafx 16 CD unit, but never did. I wish I had because all the ones I see now are kind of pricey. The other item that would be a find is a Neo Geo.

Wow, Patrick. Looks like you were a Sega fan, like myself. Looks like you're missing the Game Gear. Do you remember the Sega Channel? I had it for a few months.

I have the Game Gear and the Gameboy Advance. I really don't care for handhelds, so I never really include them. I think Gameboy is the worst because every few months there is a newer, better version of one out there. Screw that! I got the Gameboy Player so I could play the Zelda games that came out on the Gameboy and Advance. I'm a Zelda fan, so I felt I was missing out.

Yeah, Zelda is amazing! I must get an old Gamecube with a Gameboy adaptor, so that I can play Zelda on a TV set. It really sucks playing it on a tiny handheld screen. Shame the new Nintendo DS doesn`t have a TV-out function.
currently just playing Left4Dead on my PC, Smash Bros brawl, monster hunter freedom on PSP. Too busy making the damn things to get a chance to play them.
My fave games in no order are-
Ocarina of Time, FFVII, every major Mario platform game, Sonic 1-3, Links Awakening (probably my fave game of all time), Left4Dead, Team Fortress 2, Half Life series, Castlevania DS games, Grand Theft Auto (all except the terrible GTAIV), Advance Wars, Smash Bros Brawl, any Metroid game. Probably more but I can't remember.
Heh after reading through this thread I've seen a game that I did some work on xD.

I don't find it to be terrible. I think it is just that people expect every game now to be the biggest thing, especially when San Andreas added so much more to the game than it's previous versions. Can't do that in every game. And remember, this is the first GTA for the next gen consoles. I am sure there was some testing of the waters there.

Playing Final Fantasy 10. Having a hard time unlocking the abilities of the special weapons after you get them. Also playing Tony Hawk's Underground 2. Australia and New Orleans is tough!

Oh no, I completely understand gameplay and what they were trying to achieve. Part of my thesis was on development studios giving in to pressure from their fans. The problem with GTAIV was the unnecessarily realistic physics, the story structure, the overhype, missions that were previously optional in older GTA games were now obligatory. But from a gameplay standpoint they just sucked the fun out of the game. GTA SA remains the pinnacle GTA game - not because of its size or the disposable minigames but because it was fun to play. They provided the player with a multitude of environments and added RPG elements. It just worked.
GTAIV just has a floaty feeling to it, like you're running through mud or running a dream. But I'm also let down that Rockstar would rather add more DLC to Libery City than make a proper sequel set in a different location.
But meh I'm too picky like that xD it's an okay game. It's good. It's just not got the story and charm of Vice City or the variety and scope of San Andreas.

Just bought UFC 2009 Undisputed yesterday as soon as the store opened! That fucking game is hard fellas! Its worth the $80! I lost my first 3 fights in career mode, won my next 8 then bam lost one, win one, lost 2 win two...the highest I got ranked was 8 then I would fucking lose a match sending me back down to 11 or 12!
I haven't been addicted to a game like this in a lonnnnnnggggg time. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a great fighting game.

Just picked this up and have been playing it on my PS3. I think the graphics are good for this title (the Wii version is more cartoony) and the gameplay is easy to pick up after fighting a few ghosts. My favorite part so far is just the fact that all the voices are from the real actors and it fills in some storyline from the two films. It's been a blast thus far!
