So if you could only keep 3 game systems.....

Post by MulishaSoldier929 »

Long story short I have reached a compromise with my fiancé to cut back my video game library to just 3 game systems. I take up an entire bedroom in our house so I guess my first step is admitting I have a problem lol. It was hard to agree to 3 and even harder to choose which 3.

So if you were given the same choice, what would you choose and why?

A PC, a laptop, and a HTPC. :P

I kid I kid. Seriously though, hard to beat the variety of a PC if you have to go with just one.

If I had 3 consoles, I'd have a Genesis, a PlayStation 2, and an Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3.

3DO, CD-i, and Jaguar. :P


Seriously, probably Saturn, PS2, and Xbox 360?
But I really wouldn't want to give up my Genesis or Nintendo DS... IT SOUNDS LIKE A TOUGH SITUATION!

I will miss some of it for sure. Others I can part with. I have sold/given away things in the past that I later regretted but what makes this different is that I just plain don't have the time to game it up like I used to. That's really what made it easy for me to agree to sell some(even tho we argued over the number for awhile:-D ). I can't remember the last time I powered up my SNES and that to me is just sad lol.

My Saturn is staying. That was a no brainer from the start. Now all I have left to choose from is my NES, SNES, WIIu, PS1, Genesis, SegaCD, Dreamcast, Atari2600, and xbox360..... oh boy...

Backwards Compatible PS3

Gaming PC Rig (Emulation FTW)

The third one?... that's kinda hard. Either a 360 or DC probably.

how comfortable are you with emulation (on PC or via official releases on later consoles)?
