Friday Five – Favorite Video Game Consoles
Welcome to the Friday Five, where each week I help you get to know me a bit better with the help of a Top 5 list. This week’s topic: Video Game Consoles.
Well, this ought to we a easy week, as I only ever had 6 consoles in my life. I’ll leaving out my Wii, as I haven’t turned it on in 3 years, and all I ever did with it was hack it into a NES emulator to play Bad News Baseball.
- Atari 2600 – I never would have gotten anything else, until a friend jammed the controller into the console so hard it broke the plug off the board, getting me an upgrade to. . .
- Nintendo Entertainment System – I only ever had like 10 games for this, and most of them sucked, like Golf and Captain Skyhawk. My mom absconded with it to play Tetris and Dr. Mario.
- Game Gear – I had even fewer games for this, but me and a friend both bought Super Columns to play on the plane during our senior trip, complete with link cable strewn across the aisle..
- Playstation 2 – I bought this for myself in college specifically to play DDR. Yes, I used to be that guy. I no longer have the knees for more than 2 songs in a row.
- XBox 360 – I bought this to play Rock Band, but I don’t even know where the instruments are. I basically just use it to stream media from my laptop from my TV when they aren’t right next to each other.
