Besides Amiga, what other platforms do/have you owned?

[orange]

my list is short (only computers that were bought brand new and 'in their time'):

1) ZX Spectrum +3 128K
2) Amiga 500

[dnelsonfl]

Just a couple machines lying around here: Three Dell notebooks (two XP, one Linux), an old PIII running XP, an older PI running Linux, an A4000D, an A3000D, a C128D, a PS-1 sitting in a box, and a PS-2.
In the future, maybe a PS-3, but if the prices they are talking about are for real ... yikes! Might be a LONG time before I get it. More so for the reason that all my other games are PS-1 and PS-2, I'd hate to start over from scratch.

I have to answer this question in reverse. It would be a much shorter list of things I havn't owned/own. Except for mainframes, you'll have a hard time naming a commercial personal pc platform that I never owned at least for a little while. And I'm lumping models together when I say that. For example I certainly have never owned ever single laptop model compaq ever made, but I've owned serveral compaq laptops. I'd concider those all the same x86 laptop platform. A few missing from my list that come to mind are a Commodore Pet, Altair, Peg, and I'm still saving up for a next gen Amiga. :-D

[coldfish]

@all.

Wow, so what systems were your favourites?

Mine would be the C64, my first computer and main machine from about 1986 till 1990 when I got an A500 (at last!).  I used to spend weekends sitting up till 4am messing around with the C64 and making SEUCK games, ah good times!

The A500 comes a clos second, being jawdroppingly awesome when it was new.  The best fun I used to have was looking in the paper for people selling Amiga disks and bying 20-30 bucks worth then sitting up all night sampling them, nirvana!

Of the current systems I have the HTPC has been a lot of fun, both building and setting up the software, that and the emulators which let you sample all those systems you couldnt afford in the day.

Of the gaming systems, the Atari Lynx is a favourite of mine, I bought it almost at release, and had to save for months to afford one and a copy of Slimeworld.  At the time gaming on a colour handheld was mindblowing.
I was a mad PS1 fan for a while having bought one at release  and being blown away by 3D games to start with but later became kinda jaded and disillusioned.  Castlevania COTM was a welcome blast from the past being 2D on a machine that could do it without compramise.

I remeber being really unimpressed by the Dreamcast when it came out, but a year or two later I got one for 100 bucks, I found the machine to be one of the saddest tales in gaming, a very underated piece of hardware that disserved better that has some really standout titles.

My GBAsp is everything I ever wanted from handheld gaming, plenty of high quality 2D games with 32bit-generation Gfx.  The handheld equivalent of a A1200 except with a far larger library.

My Xbox rekindled my interest in 3D with Halo, but as time has passed I've lost interest in preference for emulation and retro systems.

I tried Shadow of the Beast on an emulated FM-Towns last week and cant believe this machine never found release outside Japan, it really does seem to exceed any other version, grab an emulator and take a look!
