Are we still doing our video game heritage? Seems like fun.

Magnavox Odyssey 2 (played this from age 3 to age 17 - it was awesome)
Nintendo Entertainment System (with the GREY gun - better then orange)
Tandy Color Computer (TRS 80 - had to code my own games in)
Tiger Handheld MegaMan game (was AWESOME for car rides)
Apple Macintosh Classic (SimAnt on a 6" BW screen - for HOURS)
Super Nintendo (haduken! kupo!)
PC: 486DX4100 (faster then a Pentium 90 - heloooo Doom + sounds)
Playstation (I had a thing for purple suits and spikey hair for a couple years)
Sega Dreamcast (it was a phase I was going through... also Crazy Taxi was the #####)
Gameboy Color: I totally didn't play pokemon, I swear (I'm lying)
PC: AMD Athlon2 with a graphics card (heloooo Counterstrike/Unreal Tournament, Baldur's Gate 2)
Gamecube (traded dreamcast in for this + Super Smash Bros)
Xbox (friends convinced me Halo was fun)
PC: upgraded, can't remember to what - but it could play WoW so I did that
Wii (this was a waste of money - but I did get River City Rampage on it, so that's cool)
Xbox360: Halo 3 came out. Also DragonAge. Also Mass Effect.
Nintendo DS: no idea why I got this. Seemed like a good idea at the time.
PS3: wanted to play God of War, only used it to watch netflix and the one Blue Ray someone gave me 4 years ago. I often hear it's lonely cries late at night.
iPhone: not sure if this counts, I played Angry birds for about 5 minutes once
PC: upgraded again - can play anything I want whenever I want. I have ascended to master race and look down upon all you peasants twiddling your thumbsticks. Skyrim with mods is the bestest thing ever.
(probably getting a PS4 when I find one)

I'm surprised consoles are still a thing to be honest. All they are now is a small form factor PC with HDMI output and a customized/closed operating system.

It's especially weird that this latest generation have most of their media capabilities disabled or restricted - makes you question the point of them as an entertainment device.
