That's like my whole childhood wrapped up in a video! I would have appreciated them to continue on. Heck that thing could go for 30 minutes when you get in to handhelds as well... Nintendo FTMFW!!

Yea, I never owned a Saturn. I did work at a Electronic Boutique for a while and we had guys in there who where really into fighting games and they got all the Jap imports from Capcom and I can see certain things def worth while But being younger at the time I got a N64 and Dreamcast (waiting for the mid night release) that ****** wasnt cheap either but def cool!!

I own a PS3 and a 360 now and I seem to gravitate towards the 360. Who knows.

But the Angry Video Game Nerd is the Man. Recognize!

First video game console I had was shaped like a triangle. On one side was a gun, another side a paddle, and the last side I think had a joystick. The screen always had some "Pong" things on it. If you used the gun, you shot the *****; if you had the paddle, you played pong; I can't remember what the joystick game was.
My cousin had an Odyssey system, my friend an Atari 2600 (learned a lot of vulgarities playing those games LOL), and I eventually got an Intellivision.

You guys dont know video game wars. We had the Odessey 13 which rivals of Atari. Odessey even had there own Pacman. KC Munchkin. Atari sued Odessey and won. That was a war.

I remember standing in the video game store in the mall because no place even sold the Saturn. The guy in the store said get the N64, I said no way. I hate Mario... soo my dad bought me the Saturn. I was the only one on the block to ever get it. Friggin crappy games but I loved it

Sadly that is true, the earliest one I played was Atari, and Calicovision but when the NES came out, it was the ****** BOMB.

I like the Escapist (thanks Danno), becuase he does newer stuff and that brit has some funny *** comments.
