List of Every Platform I Own

by bryn

Pretty standard list of platforms I own, how I acquired them, and my first game(s) for them.

Ordered by time I acquired the platform.

Showing 1-10 of 12 items

Nintendo Entertainment System

1. Nintendo Entertainment System

[First Game: Mario Bros./Duck Hunt] My parents already owned one when they introduced me to it. I guess I just owned it over time. Had a fair amount of games for the console, but never was even up to casual with it.

Genesis

2. Genesis

[First Game: Sonic The Hedgehog 2] The first console purchased for me. Had slightly less games for it then the NES, but played the shit out of the Sonic games, and rented a lot for it too.

PlayStation

3. PlayStation

[First Game: Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped] Was given this for Christmas after begging for one for a long time. The moment I played Crash 3, I new I would be playing games forever.

PlayStation 2

4. PlayStation 2

[First Game: Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy] Originally, I was given one of those 5-whatever-games-in-one transformable table top thingies. Once the novelty of that thing wore off, it was returned it for a refund and I was given a PS2! I was given a handful of cheap games with it, and in my stupid young age, traded them all away to help purchase some other fucking game I don't even remember... needless to say, I recovered (most of) those games and vowed to never trade in again.

Nintendo 64

6. Nintendo 64

[First Games: Mario 64 / Pokemon Snap] I never owned an N64 until well after it's life cycle. It was given to me by a friend when he moved on to the GameCube. I only got a couple of his games due to the fact that he sold the rest before I could get them. One of which was his Mario 64 cartridge. So I guess my first true game I owned with the N64 was Pokemon Snap.

GameCube

7. GameCube

[First Games: Super Mario Sunshine / Super Smash Bros. Melee] Pretty much the same situation with the GC as the N64. Only this time he sold Sunshine on me, luckily he kept Melee. We still play that time to time.

Xbox

8. Xbox

[First Games: Fusion Frenzy / Halo 2] Again, same situation as the GC and N64, this time Fusion Frenzy was sold on me. I got the XBOX with the GameCube, and barely touch it. Mostly because Halo 2 and a handful of other games are the only things I have for it.

PlayStation 3

9. PlayStation 3

[First Game: Call of Duty 4] I was going to get a PS3 for Metal Gear Solid 4. But when Sony was discontinuing the 60GB backwards-compatible models, I grabbed one of the last ones up. I picked up COD4 solely because I need a game to tide me over till MGS4 was released. I wasn't really into FPSs but it held me along. That and Burnout: Paradise and GTA4 which I got not to long later.

Xbox 360

10. Xbox 360

[First Games: Halo 3 / Halo 3: ODST / Assassins Creed 2] My actual first games was Halo 3 and ODST, but that's only because they came with the Elite. I was given AC2 at Christmas and played the shit out of it. I never thought I was going to get a 360, but now that I do, I rest easier about the console exclusives and superior versions of games today.

iPhone

11. iPhone

{iPhone 4}[First Game: Cut the Rope: Holiday Gift] My first cell phone. Not to bad, huh? Grabbed up the holiday free version of Cut the Rope, along with some other free Apps, and knew why it was so popular.
