Thanks, but if it's mainstream we'll all of at least HEARD of it

The 3DO & CD-I were mainstream too, even if they were flops.

for me during the 80's it was

Spectrum and C64

for late 80's 90's it would C64 / Atari ST / Amiga 500

for 90's + it was

Amiga 1200 / Megadrive / Snes / PSX

late 90's (it was only here that PC's were worth something to own.. for me)

Amiga / PSX / PC

and then you get to today.... and i have in the front room (as i look over my laptop ) THE entertainment center with....

Sega Dreamcast
Sony PSone
Sony PS2
Custom build: SFF Chassis for DOS Box / Win98 Games

1.4Ghz DDR AMD (Factory unlocked) CPU
512MB PC133 Memory

Never ask Zetr0 to do any of these voting type things, he'll just write you an essay instead...

Commodore Plus4 (my first computer)

beanz · 30 August 2007, 18:36

48k Rubbery Spectrum
C64.

Edit: I would have schoolyard arguments with myself.

Graham Humphrey · 30 August 2007, 18:46

You must be schizophrenic then

Zetr0 · 30 August 2007, 19:09

okay okay..... i am back after adding 512kb ram to my 500 mobo.... so yes... i improved a gaming system *(while)* voting....

hmmm this is a difficult vote PJ..... theres soooo many cool things.... but ... its soooo difficult......

80s would have to be specky / c64 but wich..... i had both.... luckly i managed to avoid school yard arguments by blagging specky AND c64 games

and the 90's..... sheesh..... okay...

Commodore 64

Playstation (later to be known as playstation 1)

in the process of this vote I have managed to

updated a circuit schematic
upgraded my 500 to accept 1MB of chip ram native on the mobo
Set dinner up including Roast Chicken with mash / veg
wrote this *small* essay about it..

oh its all good

DamienD · 30 August 2007, 19:25

Only 2 choices, very difficult to decide since I had the following and each meant alot to me:

... Atari 2600
... Commodore 64
... Sega Master System
... Sega Megadrive
... Super Nintendo Entertainment System
... Nintendo 64
... Playstation

I always wished that I had a PC-Engine and a Neo-Geo though.

Hmmm ok, let's go for Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Playstation

...now, if you allowed Japanese PCs / consoles my choice may have been a bit different with the inclusion of FM Towns and X68000

Retroplay · 30 August 2007, 19:26

Commodore 64 and the Super NES.

Zetr0 · 30 August 2007, 19:26

Good choice double D Damien!

very 90's too

thinlega · 30 August 2007, 19:31
