by far my favorite console of all time since i first got it, i love pretty much everything on it. someone actually ported a game to the gamecube in the modern day (albeit it needs Swiss, a homebrew app to run) and it's just so cool to see that it refuses to die

it was my first (after my Atari 2600) , and honestly favorite, console. I still have the games but I no longer have the console.

That's crazy! Why such a long gap? Just curious :)

I grew up pretty poor. I got most tech when it went on sale or was discontinued. so, I got my Atari when I was 11, in 1985. when I went to college in 1991, I played a friend's Sega and became obsessed with Sonic! by 1993, I was surrounded by computer nerds and had access to most consoles and just fell into PC gaming instead. Sam and Max. Day of the tentacle. Lemmings. Monkey Island. It wasn't until I realized I could play all the sonic games on GameCube that I even wanted a console.

nowadays, I live in a household with all the consoles, but they're not "mine" and I barely touch my PC.
