    In roughly that order I think.

    Oddly I've never owned an NES although we rented it a lot back in the day (because you used to be able to rent consoles)

    Do we do system we actually owned or ones that were readily available for play? I lived with separated parents and lots of step brothers who owned systems but I never did.

    So for myself it would go:
    Mac
    Gameboy
    PSone
    N64
    PC
    PS2
    Gamecube
    xbox
    DS
    PS3


    I was able to play these since step brothers owned them
    NES
    SNES
    Genesis
    Sega CD

    I loved playing Marathon 1 & 2, Wolfenstein 3D, Sim City, Math Blaster Mystery, Sim Ant, Sim Earth, Full Throttle, DIG, CLose Combat and so many more. I still have a ton of them. I used macs from probably 1989 until MACOS 8.6 then they went to 9 and I went to PCs.

    I've owned at some point or another:

    NES
    SNES
    Genesis
    N64
    PSX
    PS2
    Dreamcast
    Gamecube
    PS3
    Wii
    Game Boy
    GB Color
    GBA
    PSP
    DS

    and I presently have access to a 3DS though it's not mine. And of course there's the PC. I've had one constantly with various operating systems since we were all running DOS. I haven't been without a PC since the third grade maybe.

    Right now I've really got the urge to buy a PC-Engine too.

    GCN
    PS1 (obtained in 2011)
    Wii (obtained in 2013, own zero games, use as combination Netflix machine/Gamecube)
    3DS

    I've played Genesis, GBA, and DS games on emulator (along with games from most of the above systems), and of course I've played PC games just like everyone else here.

    I was pretty Nintendo loyal for a long time. Once I went to college I got a PS2 so that I could play both PS1 and PS2 games. I've been on the Sony wagon ever since.
