        So good, maybe too good. Soundtrack just slaps, always triggering a moment playing the game.

      I had an 800. Had the cassette tape media drive and some game for it, but could never get it working.

      Also had that awful ET game.

      I recall writing a screensaver in basic and letting it run overnight.

      That is just inviting people to start throwing out names of lesser-known systems. Can we narrow it down to Western (including South America), Eastern European, or South-east Asian before we start?

    Atari Jaguar. No one I knew had one and the only place to play one was a single game store in a mall that you had to pay to play. I paid twice to play and was in love.

          It’s one of the few racing type games I will spend money on at an arcade if I see the machine even though I own a Dreamcast and a copy of the game at home.

        Fuuuuck I rented that game so much back then. If it wasn’t available every other weekend at my local video store it was 100% my fault.

        The song “All I Want” was prominently featured in the game Crazy Taxi, I believe.

    Honestly got to hand it to my PS4. I’ve had it since the early days of dating my wife, and she gifted it to me when I was a broke uni student. It’s still serving Armored Core VI, indie games, and movie nights to this day. I’ve pulled it open several times over the years to dust it out and it’s got an external fan add-on to help with cooling. I won’t know what to do with myself when it gives out someday.

      Base PS4 or Pro? If the former, a Pro could be a pretty good upgrade. Also not super expensive compared to the base model.

      A PS5 is, of course, also nice if your budget allows it. Been happy with mine since its release. Feels like a real step-up compared to the entire PS4 line, even if you’re only interested in PS4 games.

      Also, check the firmware of your PS4 in case you haven’t updated it recently. You could potentially jailbreak it and unlock heaps more potential. Emulation and stuff, for example.

        It’s a base model. I’m going to keep using it as long as I can as-is, I don’t really have the spare mental bandwidth to tinker (nor the budget to rectify any mistakes), but it’s cool that they can be jailbroken.

        Whenever I’m finally done with it, it’ll probably be time for a Steam Deck (probably some time after the release of the SD2, knowing me).

          I hear you. Took me some time get it working myself, but there’s also a plug-and-play solution as well. Got it for like 20€ off AliExpress for convenience’s sake, so I don’t have to connect a PC to run the jailbreak every time.

          Ooh, cool! I see the appeal, but apart from my teen years, I haven’t been much of a PC gamer. Or rather I never bought any games on Steam which I could run on a SD. You probably have a big enough library? And will you be getting the dock too?

            I don’t know if mine counts as a big library, I’m fairly patient and choosy with my games but it’s ended up being a couple dozen over the years. I prefer to appreciate games as art but I also do it to bond with my kid. Trying to get him more into emulators and retro stuff.

    Granted I was pretty young, but I friggin loved the ColecoVision. It had a respectable game library and Zaxxon in particular was the stuff. I remember my mom playing Ladybug (Pacman clone) frequently.

    Welp. Guess I’m spending the rest of my evening looking for an emulator.
