Thought it might be fun to see where everyone's interests lie when it comes to game consoles. Here's my list of systems:
Atari 7800 Colecovision NES Super Nintendo Sega Genesis Turbografx 16 PS1 N64 Sega Dreamcast PS2 Xbox Nintendo GameCube Nintendo Wii Xbox 360 Nintendo Wii U Xbox One
Retron 5
Handhelds: Game Boy Color Game Boy Advance Game Boy Advance SP Nintendo DS Nintendo DS Lite Nintendo 3DS Sony PSP
Flashback systems: Atari Flashback 2 Atari Flashback 4 Intellivision Flashback Colecovision Flashback Atari Flashback 5
I also have a Sears Telegames stunt cycle/pong box, but I need a power supply for it, so I don't know if it works.
Edit: Said I had a 2600, but I actually have a 7800! Although I do have a 2600 adapter for the Colecovision :-)

I'll do my best! Atari 2600 NES Sega Genesis Nintendo 64 Sega Dreamcast Xbox (it's modded but I can't figure out how to load anything on it, so I let a buddy try to fix it for me but he hasn't cracked the code either & I don't have it back yet. ) Nintendo Game Cube Xbox 360 (2) PS3 Xbox One Nintendo DS Atari Flashback 2 I would LOVE an SNES, as I never had one and would love to play some of those classics. I had a PS1 & PS2, but gave those away once I became hooked on the 360. I sold my Wii (blech) & the PS3 was bought mainly as a Blu-Ray player & for MLB: The Show. I'm addicted to unlocking achievements on the Xbox (a thread for another time) so aside from dipping into the retro pool on occasion, the entirety of my gaming is done on the XBO & 360 (still).

I'll have a go...
Atari 2600 (of course) + over 300 carts now TRS80 Model 100 (my latest purchase, been after one of these vintage 'laptops' for a while) NES N64 Gamecube Wii WiiU Gameboy - original, colour, light (japanese import), Advanced, SP, Micro, DS, DS Lite, 3DSXL, modified original with backlight. Playstation 1/2/3/4 Virtual Boy (sold off most of my rare games) ZX81 x 3 ZX Spectrum Taito Lunar Rescue cabinet (pride and joy of my Man-Cave) Brenco electro-mechanical Fruit Machine
I really only collect for the 2600 now. I made the decision, due to space and finances, to concentrate on one system.
I also have a small collection of handheld games and about 50 Tomy Pocketfulls (Pocketeers in UK). I love those things !
I sold numerous stuff in downsizing over the years - Atari 800, Colecovision, Intellivision, Atari Pong/Stunt Cycle/Video Pinball consoles, SNES

Stormsurge, I would recommend one, but it seems like the SNES has gotten very expensive to collect. I would say if you do get one, save a couple hundred more up and get a multicart for it. Doesn't mean you can't still build up a collection, but it does mean you get to play stuff sooner :-)
I also can't recommend the ASCIIPad enough as a controller for the SNES. Far more reliable than the Nintendo controllers, plus you get rapid and auto fire.
Strudders, I would have been amazed if I didn't see a Zed X on your list; you didn't disappoint! :-) Digging the Virtual Boy too; my cousin had one when it first came out and I got to play it a bit and really enjoyed it.

Hoo boy.
Video Pinball dedicated unit (Thanks Willie!) Atari 2600 (many) Atari 5200 (Thanks Rup and Willie!) Atari 7800 Atari 800 Intellivision (Thanks Willie!) Colecovision (Thanks Willie!) NES SMS SNES Jaguar N64 GBA DS Wii
I think that's it? It's hard to remember since everything is still packed up. I have sold quite a few systems over the years, some of which I regret, and some of them have come back to me via Willie. I did have a complete CIB domestic VB collection. The only regret I have is that I didn't wait until now to sell it, HOLY CRAP.

Here's my list. - Atari 2600
- Atari 5200
- Atari 7800
- Atari XEGS
- Atari Lynx (x2)
- Atari Jaguar (x2)
- Colecovision
- Nintendo Entertainment System
- Super Nintendo Entertainment System
- Sega CDX
- Virtual Boy
- Dreamcast
- Nuon
- Xbox (the original)
- Wii
- Sony PSP Go
- Sony Playstation 3
If we're including plug & play systems, I also own the first three Atari Flashbacks. The Flashback 2 is the only one hooked up, and the Flashback 1 I'm hanging on to just to keep it out of a landfill, or worse, away from someone who might unfortunately think it faithfully reproduces Atari games.

Nice collection Shinto! I really want a Jag, Lynx, and XEGS (or any Atari 8 bit for that matter)... Maybe someday!

I've always thought the 8 bit was the way to go, but I see a lot of people have them both?

I had a 5200 originally that I bought in the 90s, had all of the games, then I sold it because I also have an 800. It's of course a space saver, and all of the 5200 games are available on the 800. That was the only system I really regretted selling. Between the two, I really can't pick though. There's more games on the 800 and the controllers of course are better, but I have more of a sentimental bent towards cartridges, not floppies (despite the fact I didn't own either in the 80s). Let's just say I'm glad I have both.

dude, you spelled "stupid" wrong it'd be impressive if i had somewhere to actually put it all without having to climb over boxes to play any of it... those in the UK will prolli know how much room there is in a back to back terraced house... those outside the UK will get the gist if you imagine a tardis, cos it's the opposite of one of them...
