Game Systems

This page has information on all the systems I currently own, including when I got them, and about how many games I have for each. If you click on the logo for each system, it will take you to Nintendo's site on that system. I've stayed loyal to the Nintendo brand because I've found that their games are among the most enjoyable, and fits my taste better than any of their competitors. I've also subscribed to Nintendo Power magazine since the fall of 1992 and have never thrown out a single issue. |

I got this system in December
1988, when I was in 4th grade, as a Christmas present from my
grandparents. I've
|
|
|
been
hooked to video games ever
since. The system came
with 3 games in one cartridge, Super Mario Brothers, Duck Hunt,
and World Class Track Meet. Two controllers, a zapper gun,
and a track pad were also included. I currently have about
45 games for the system, including popular favorites such as
Super Mario Brothers 3, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out, and the Legend
of Zelda.|
Once again, this
was another Christmas present from my grandparents. This
time, I was in 8th grade and it was the Christmas of 1992.
The system came with two controllers and Super Mario World.
I have about 20 games for this system, mostly RPGs (Role Playing
Games). This system is st |
|
|
ill
well known for having so many great RPG games. My set
suffered a severe fall a few years ago when my dog ran past
while a friend was playing and got tangled in the controller
cable, pulling the whole system off its shelf. There's a
huge crack on the top and a hole in the outer casing. Yet,
the system still works just as well as it did the day I got it.

This system was a birthday present
this time, (August 1999) from a friend. He no longer
wanted the system, and decided to give it to me. It did
not come with any games, just two
|
|
|
controllers.
Predictably, I quickly amassed a collection of games for this
system and currently have about 15 games. This is when I
first encountered virtual reality types of games where the game
play was in a completely 3-dimensional environment. It
took some adjusting to get used to this kind of game play, but
I've improved greatly since I first got it.

This is the first non-portable system I
didn't get as a present. I pu |
|
|
rchased
it in August of 2004, along with 5 games. It's the first system
that uses a CD instead of a cartridge, which I am not used to quite yet.
I'm also not used to having to use memory cards to save my game progress
on. However, the graphics and game play of the games I have are
absolutely out of this world! However, I like the controller
better than that of the Nintendo 64 because it's smaller and easier to
handle. |
My grandparents
gave this to me in the summer of 1991. It was great having
this portable system along during vacatio |
|
|
ns.
Sure helped prevent video game withdrawal! I got a total
of about 10 games for this system. However, I have not
used it at all since I got my Game Boy Advance because the
Advance can play all the games from this system as well.
I've kept it anyways for nostalgia's sake.|
I upgraded to
the Game Boy Advance sometime in 2002. It can run |
|
|
any game from all previous versions of the Game Boy. The
Advance will also slightly colorize games from the original Game
Boy, which had a monochromatic display. I've added 3 more
games, so now I have about 15 games for this system. The
link feature is also awesome, I linked to my brother's Advance
and played Mario Kart with him. It was a great way to kill
time while on a plane!This website designed by Kyle Houston
