Your console timeline

Primary systems growing up:

Magnavox Odyssey
Mattel Intellivision
Nintendo Entertainment System
Sega Genesis/Sega CD/32X
Nintendo 64
GameCube

These were all my main gaming systems while I was a kid, which I will define as from my very earliest memories up until when I graduated college. I will note that I also had a 3DO between the Genesis and N64, though I'm still mystified as to why my parents bought me one of those.

Towards the end of the GameCube generation I picked up a Dreamcast, then a PS2, and eventually an Xbox. I've owned every major console since then. Right now I have a Switch, Series S, and PS5. That said, I've been a primarily PC gamer since I build my first rig in 2016. Mostly play on that and the Steam Deck these days. I also had an Apple IIGS in the late 80s but it was mostly just a curiosity in the house. I missed out on the early days of PC gaming.

Oh, and I loved going to the arcade as a kid. I think they were just as responsible as home consoles for my lifelong love of gaming.
