Other game systems I've played - the Xbox 360 is not the only game system I've played. Here are some other ones I have played. By the way, in case you are thinking about getting any of the classic game systems, I decided to add my amazon referral links to them (makes it convenient if you want one). By the way, the prices are set by the merchants themselves, so if you want them cheaper, you will have to talk to them). Please be sure to support this site by taking time to visit my sponsors by the way. Commissions will be used to cover the costs of running this site and can give me reason to post alot more content of course.
1. Original Xbox -
I even playtested at least one of the games (NFL Fever) at the Microsoft Campus near Redmond around the time it came out.
2. Playstation 1 and 2 -
my favorite games on that system are: Metal Slug Anthology (I like it more than Metal Slug 3 on the Xbox, that game was insane), Kingdom Hearts, Kingdom Hearts 2, Final Fantasy 10, and Mega Man X8.
3. Sega Dreamcast -
it's too bad that game system was short lived (it definatly had lots of potiential, especially before the Xbox, Gamecube and the Playstation 2 entered the 128 bit era). Had plenty of fun games to play, like Sonic Adventures 1 and 2, the original Marvel vs Capcom game, the original Crazy Taxi Game, as well as Powerstone to name a few.
4. Nintendo 64 -
I actually jumped on that bandwagon late in that generation (got the system while I was attending collge). My favorite games for the 64 were Super Mario 64, Golden Eye (this was probably the best multiplayer first person shooter game prior to the Halo and Call of Duty series), Star Fox 64 (definately another classic), as well as Castlevania 64.
5. Super Nintendo -
I actually had an emulated verson of the Super Nintendo at least during my collge years (got rid of it since moving back home of course). My favorite games included: Super Mario World, the original Mega Man X game (though personally I like X4 and X8 the most in the series), Power Rangers the Movie (that was probably the best power rangers game I played in the series that I am aware of), Ninja Turtles 4, Castlevanis Dracula X, as well as Contra 3 (I even made a video on youtube that shows me playing throug the game using cheats that has gone viral since posting it).
6. Sega Genesis, Sega CD, and 32x -
Yes, I did have the full bundle for a while. My favorite games includes: Sonic the Hedgehog 3 and Knuckles (probably more so than Sonics 1 and 2), Ninja Turtles Heist in Time (though it does seem to be very similar to Ninja Turtles 4 in many ways, including the final boss), Tom Cat Alley, Sewer Shark, Castlevania Bloodlines, Contra Hard Corps, as well as Sonic CD. I also liked Alien Solider, as well as the original Gunstar Heroes game.
7. Sony PSP -
this was a short lived system I had (it stopped working when I tried downloading an update for a game I had). The only games I had were: Sims 2 (it is actually more of an RPG than a typical sims 2 game, where you play as a character in Strangetown, and you do various quests in a mission to stop a mad scientist from taking over the world, as well as get out of Strangetown), some Starwars game (forgot the name of it), as well as the Sega Genesis collection. I've been meaning to fix it, but haven't had the extra money to do so.
8. Game boy advance-
this was a fun game system. My favorite games were the castlevania series (especially Circle of the Moon) as well as Gunstar Heroes.
9 Regular NES -
who doesn't miss the good ol 8 bit games, and game classics like Super Mario 3, Battletoads, Mega Mans 2 and 3, classic Contra, the original Metrod, Ninja Turtles 2 (played almost like the arcade verion), Bubble Bobble and all of the other classics.
10. Game gear -
Personally, I liked it more than the original Gameboy, especially given the fact that the games have color (which makes it easier to play than the classic gameboy, where everything is black and white).
11. PC games (you can browse PC games at my Amazon Astore at http://astore.amazon.com/rjvideogamer-20?_encoding=UTF8&node=4)- My favorites includes: Mech Warriors 2 and 4 (my favorite mechs were the big and powerful ones like the Atlas, Direwolf, Timberwolf, and the Dashi), X-wing, Rebel Assault, Interstate '76 (that game would be awesome on the 360 by the way), Sims 2 (I even posted a few videos on youtube, incluing one involving my whole sim family getting abducted by aliens once), Starlancer, as well as Spore. Though currently, I no longer have a computer to play them on, so yeah.
12. Nintendo Wii-
yes, I also have a Nintendo Wii. It is definately the first of it's kind (before the Kinect and PS Move), where the controller adds more interactivity to the games (such as holding it like a gun on the Metroid Prime Trillogy). Favorite games so far includes: Wii Sports, Metroid Prime Trillogy (especially the Metroid Prime Corruption), New Super Mario Bros and Zelda Twilight Princes.
