I have had a great day today! I’ve been to a game-museum and it was sort of like a surprise visit as I went there with my class/work. I knew I was going to a museum, but I didn’t know what kind of. The visit was just part of the day’s program, as at my school/work, every Wednesday there is a chance we go visit somewhere, and that could really be anywhere.
It was very nice, I tried out some old school games and I played some Pinball with a real pinball machine. That was quite a coincidence because the day before I just received a copy of William’s Pinball Classics (PS3) and the Pinball Machine at that museum was also a William’s Pinball machine. Cool!
Anyway, there was this wall and it had a ton of game consoles on it! I figured, I could post it here.
As there were so many consoles on that wall and I tried to photograph them in one pic they appear quite small. I hope you can see them clear enough to see what consoles were on that wall.
So here’s the question. Which consoles did you have or still have (and use)?
(The first 3 consoles are the ones behind the glass, in front of the wall )
I wish I could have made a little bit better pictures, but as I didn’t know we were going to that museum, I could only take pics with my phone. Some consoles are blurry and not so recognizable (at all) … I think…
Yes it is, I think it has just opened. And I wasn’t even aware of it.
On a side note, when I got back home I kept on thinking " it would be so great to actually own a real pinball machine ". But I guess these things are not exactly cheap haha
While I didn’t personally own one, a friend of mine owned an Intellivision (your first image) when we were kids. We used to play it quite a bit, but I’d be hard pressed to tell you the title of any of the games.
That really is beautiful. Here’s what I currently own for consoles. (I don’t think every one I own is on there). But I played each of these and had fun with at least one game:
Atari 2600
Atari XE
Atari 5200
Colecovision
Magnavox Odyssey 2
NES
SNES
N64
GBA
Sega Game Gear
Sega Genesis
Playstation 1
Playstation 2
Playstation 3
I’m jealous of your Virtual Boy. I love that system! Virtual Boy Wario Land is lots of fun…for a short period of time. You know, until you get a headache. My group of magic playing, nerdy friends would usually get together for video games, D&D and other nerdy pastimes. Ahh nostalgia.
Colecovision is really good. One of my co-workers were going to toss it, during my Summer job before college. I promptly stopped him. I have the original box too (not in great condition). Either way, it’s a great system.
The Atari 5200 is pretty solid too. My favorite system for Frogger.
