Hey guys, this is Austin and today I’m here with a look at my video
game console collection.
To start let’s take a look at the Game Boy
which I’ve always been a big fan of.
Here we’ve got the original Play It
Loud models in Black along with a really cool transparent version.
Compared to today’s standards it’s an absolute brick and not really all
that pocketable but for the time it wasn’t half bad.
It might not have
aged that well but the Game Boy is still one of my favorites.
Another
cool handheld is the Game Boy Light.
This was a Japanese only
version of the Pocket that included a lit screen years before it hit other
Game Boy models.
The screen was still pretty dim and it only plays
original Game Boy games but it’s still an interesting look back.
While
it’s not rare in the slightest I’ve got to give a shoutout to the Game Boy
Color as well.
I don’t think it’s an exaggeration to say I spent the
majority of my childhood on this playing the original Pokemon games
and it still works like new nearly 15 years later.
Probably the best
Game Boy ever would be the Advance SP.
Not only does it play all
Game Boy games on a backlit screen but it’s also got a compact
folding design that’s survived years in my pocket.
Considering that I
still get a couple hours per charge on a ten year old battery this is
definitely one of my favorite consoles ever.
Moving to a slightly...less
good portable we have the Nokia N-Gage QD which was recently
featured in my Top 5 Worst Phones ever video.
While in some ways it
was the first phone to take gaming seriously it was also very flawed at
both making calls and playing on the go.
Still though, the N-Gage is an
interesting part of my collection.
Now let’s move on to a few of my
favorite full sized systems.
The original PlayStation 1 was the first
console to drag my younger self out of the arcade.
It, along with the
much smaller PS One really showed that Sony could make a stellar
console and while the graphics haven’t held up too well there are still
lots of games that are as much fun to play as ever.
One of my favorite
parts of my collection is the orange Nintendo 64.
I’ve got to admit I’m
still a sucker for transparent consoles and the N64 was a perfect
choice to get the see through treatment.
The Sega Dreamcast is
probably one the most underrated consoles ever.
It had all kinds of
impressive features including online play, solid graphics and some
great games...some really great games.
Another console I think a lot
of people overlook is the Nintendo GameCube.
These are ridiculously
cheap now especially considering how many fun games they have.
Oh, and did I mention it has a handle?
I don’t see how you can argue
with this.
So these are some of my favorite systems but I’m curious to
know, what’s your favorite game console of all time?
Definitely be sure
