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.

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.
