Weird old game systems you have.

So, I was cleaning out some shit from my parents house and I came across a nintendo game watch. Not a game AND watch. Just a game watch. Its super mario world and its in like perfect condition since I guess I never played it. It's kinda cool though, its like a little lcd game on a watch that still tells time and it has a headphone jack. This got me thinking about other weird old systems Ive owned. I actually had a jaguar, with the cd attachment. And I bought in to the 32x hype. Neo Geo? Had the cartridge and the cd systems. 3do? yup, thought Id joined the future. What kinda shit did you guys have that you just cant figure out why you had it?

I didn't even know what the fuck and avitar was until about 5 minutes ago.

    didn't have a fucking power adapter in there, but it had two controllers and two sets of booster packs for the X-Men game that came with it.

    I rented one of those when they came out and you could still rent systems from blockbuster. Thing gave me a huuuuuuuuge headache. Then they found out it caused permanent eye damage, so nintendo donated the rest of their stock to terminal patients.

    I had an Atari Lynx but I sold it and all my games to my sister and got a Game Gear.
    She ripped me off too, so all I could afford was 1 game for my new Game Gear. Never got another one.
    Stupid parents.

    This kid that I always hung out with at swim meets when I was little had a lynx, I was always jealous of Rygar. All I had was the crappy game boy. I did get a Nomad though when they came out.

    I have a Game.Com somewhere in my closet. And something else, that kinda looks like a remote detonator that I think had the letter Q in its name.

    Probably. All I know is that it had built in Solitaire and I have Duke Nukem for it somewhere.

    I had a Magnavox Odyssey², is that weird or just old? Also, I had one of the first Sega CD incarnations, the massive one that sat under the Genisis. And if we're going by Knob's criteria, a friend of mine owns a copy of "Bunnies and Burrows," the Watership Downs RPG.

    I remember programming games for that. All that typing was so worth it.

    I thought the text based adventure games were pretty fun as well.

    I would love to see Gorf show up again.

    dude I spent probably the entirety of a year just making characters in that fucking system and drawing superhero designs by tracing the little outline it gave you and drawing out elaborate retard-ass costumes from it.
