You?
The best WOW factor I had with my first one, the ATARI VC2600.
It was my first touch with computer games at home. Playing Defender,
Frogger and Pacman endlessly!
Right now I am pretty happy with my XBOX360 especially with the
integration of XBOX live!
1 ) Dreamcast (Still own one, too many cool SHMUP)
2 ) PC-Engine (never had one, but very cool ports... R-Type I & II, Dracula-X and Gradius to name a few...)
3 ) Vectrex (one of my friends had one, vectors have some sort of beauty no other consoles/arcades have)
4 ) Nintendo Wii (Actually using it, most innovative control method to date, real fun... too few really cool titles BTW...)
5 ) PSX (Still own one: R-Type Delta, Wipeout, Gran Turismo, Metal Gear, Resident Evil and ... above all: Castlevania SOTN rulez!)
6 ) PS2 (Still own one: same titles as PSX plus Ace Combat and a few more)
7 ) NDS (Still own one: Castlevania 2D titles are a must!)
8 ) GameCube (Still own one just to play Resident Evil 4)
9 ) PSP (Still own one... 90% useless... 10% useful just to be able to watch some scene production...)
10) NES (Still own a fake-one... historical preservation only... ;) )
Extra:
1 ) real PCBs [R-Type I & R-Type II]
2 ) NeoGeo arcade MoBo
3 ) Sega ST-V
Note: still like real arcade PCBs the most ;D
Sega Dreamcast.
JIm
Sega Dreamcast, which I still own along with 120+ games for it. :clap:
Sega Mega Drive 2 w/ Mega CD + 32x
Sega Saturn - I adore all of Lobotomy Softwares games ( Duke Nukem 3D, Quake, Exhumed ( Playstation One aka "Power Slave " ), Death Tanks )
Still have them, I have 2 Saturns both the updated models - original was like a big black block, alongside a Coleco Vision, PS1, PS2 ( used mostly for Guitar Hero Series ), oh and the C64 GS.
Original Playstation
Megadrive

Right ... how could I forget the incredible Gameboy.
<3 totally love it!
I still got Black and White Gameboy with the Oringal Teris!
Everyone has it with the original tetris :D
The Atari 2600 is my favourite - yes it is underpowered by today's standards, but many of the games have more depth than the identikit first person shooters you see released every week for the XBox 360/PS3.
I feel that the 16-bit machines, such as the Mega Drive and SNES had the best mix of graphics, game play and variety. Streets of Rage, Unirally, Super Mario World, Sonic the Hedgehog, Road Rash, etc - so many different styles. We only get mini-game compilations, racers, FPSs, RPGs and retro re-releases these days.
We still get great games today, just less of them. It's not the hardware that counts, but what you can play on it. If somebody found a way to connect several screens to a PS3, it could be programmed to emulate several Atari 2600's at the same time :)
Perhaps the HD display output could be segmented and split onto several monitors...
For pure nostalgia, it has to be the Vectrex.
It looked so damned cool, it came with its own screen and it should have been more popular!
SNES or C64 :)
