One of my first memories is my uncle giving me an old Pong console. Well, technically, we borrowed it but we never gave it back. Since then, I’ve had at least one game console for almost every video game “generation” there’s been. I’ve had an Atari 2600, a FamiCom (NES to you Westerners out there) and the original gray Sony PlayStation as gifts for birthdays and/or Christmas. I also got a PlayStation 2, Gamecube, Xbox and Dreamcast (which is the first consoles I purchased with my own money). I eventually got myself a PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4 as well.

If you look closely at that list, you’ve probably noticed a gap as I didn’t mention what 16-bit console I had. Truthfully, I didn’t get one. While Nintendo and Sega were trying to outdo each other with their 16-bit consoles, I was strangely satisfied with my FamiCom and XT PC…
