You bleeders, post what computer/console systems you've owned in your life and what happened to them. I was thinking about it earlier, and I had quite a diverse range in my 21 year living period.
So, in chronological order, I've had...
Commodore 64 (somewhere in my loft) Had hundreds of cassette games for it, and a couple of cartridges.
Amiga 500 (sold) I loved Amigas, I started my graphics with Deluxe Paint and also my programming with AMOS.
Amiga 1200 (broken) A step up from the old A500, Mine didn't work too well so I kept getting pissed off with it and eventually stabbed it repeatedly with a screwdriver.
Gameboy (still got it somewhere) Tetris and Mario, enough said
BBC Computer (probably in loft) Just had this for homework and stuff, pretty shit system with green monitor.
Mega-Drive (exchanged for CD-32) I loved this, but there came a time to move on...
Amiga CD-32 (sold) I got this so I could connect to my A1200 as a CD-ROM drive
PC - Pentium 233 (hardly working/given away) It was cool at the time, but became outdated
Playstation (given to my mom and dad) Got this for my 16th birthday
PC - Athlon 1GHz (upgraded, some parts given away, some parts kept) Again, sweet at the time, but times change...
Gameboy Advance (still got it somewhere) Bought this while I was on holiday to keep me entertained in the tent
PC - Athlon 3200+ overclocked beast-machine (current system) I love this machine, no Doom 3 slowdown
Playstation 2 (current console) Bought this off eBay, purely for the Tekken games and Tony Hawk games.
Lets see...
Amstrad cpc (still have, just about works. But then they did come out in 1984)
Atari 2600 (dumped somewhere, but worked fine)
Megadrive (still have, but controllers are stuffed)
Playstation 1 (buggered laser, just works)
Psone x 2 (and one mini screen)
Playstation 2 (£180 plus a shit dvd + gta3)
Gamecube (got it on the cheap at argos for £79.99 + a game)
Gameboy (so old and scratched i binned it, the screen fell off and loads of lcd lines were missing)
Gameboy advance (old version)
Neogeo pocket colour (i got it in the small time they were available in the uk for £30)
Pcs
Some crap 533mhz thingy (really shit even for a 533mhz but my dad wont get rid of it, Seriously. The old Unreal tournament is like a slide show.)
Celron 2gig (mine but wasnt good with games)
Pentium 4 3gig (a beast, i got it to play half life two, a year ago... and for network gaming)
I still play most of my consoles from time to time despite having most of the games on emulators too, It just isnt the same playing them on a pc.
Nintendo (Mario, Smash TV, Blades of Steel, etc)
Super Nintendo (16-Bit RPGs and Metroid)
Nintendo Gamecube (Metroid Prime, sold it later)
Sega Genesis (Sonic, Gunstar Heroes, etc)
Sega Saturn (Nights, Virtua Cop, Panzar Dragoon)
Sega Dreamcast (Best Game Console of all time)
Microsoft XBox (Halo, JSRF, Live-enabled games)
Sony Playstation 2 (DDR, MGS2, PSone RPGs)
Computers
---------
Macintosh 512 (8MHz M68000, 512K ram, no HDD, black and white screen, sold it a long time ago)
Macintosh Classic (8MHz M68000, 4MB Ram, 40MB HDD, black and white screen, sold it)
Macintosh Performa 6116CD (60MHz PowerPC 601, 8MB Ram, 700MB hard disk, 14" monitor. upgraded to 240MHz PowerPC G3, 72MB Ram, Cd-burner, later sold it)
iMac (233MHz PowerPC G3, 64MB Ram, 4GB HDD, 15" monitor, 2mb video ram, piece of she-ite, sold it)
HP Pavilion 6330 (500MHz Celeron, 64MB Ram, 10GB HDD, 15" monitor, 2mb video ram. upgraded to 192mb Ram, 16MB 3Dfx Voodoo 3, still have it as secondary system)
Dell Deminsion 8200 (2.26 GHz Pentium 4, 512MB RDRAM, 80GB HDD, 17" monitor, dvd, cd-burner, 64MB GeForce 4 TI 4200. upgraded to 128MB ATI Radeon 9600XT, duel 17" monitors, planning to upgrade Ram when needed). My current system.
Macintosh- I don't really remember this that much... Tank and this one Snake clone was a good game for that.
Atari 2600- Jungle Hunt, Defender, Star Trek 2, and Buck Rogers were fun back in the day
Sega Genesis- Sonic 2, Eternal Champions, Hellfire, Rolling Thunder 2... good stuff.
Game Gear- James Pond 2 and Woody Pop was pretty much the only good game on that.
PC- Madden 2000, my collection of freeware games, Chaos Gate, Civilization III, The Sims, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2, and many other quality titles
Sega Dreamcast- Street Fighter 3: Third Strike and Power Stone 2 rock like no other. I only bought it a few months ago, and I still play it a lot.
well, I don't know much about the history of my computers. But I know we had too many problems with HP ones.
as for consoles:
Sega Genesis(x2):73|-| 133720|22!
Gameboy Pocket:*yawn*
Gameboy Color(x3):*yawn*
Gameboy Advance:*yawn*
Playstation(traded for GCN...why!?!): better than a gameboy, can't hold a candle to genesis
Nintendo 64:Is there such a thing as a good game for this? That has a worthwhile challenge to it.
GCN: why did this even exist!?!
XBoxitto that.
PS2(first one got broken by billybobjoe, second one died to disc read errors, hope the third one lasts ): best of the "nextgen" systems. But still fails to match the genesis(if you look at the games on that, there is no original game for anything after it)

As a boy, I wanted to be a train. I didn’t realize this was unusual—that other kids played with trains, not as them.
Consoles:
-------------------------------------
GameBoy - Good old tetris
NES - Ahhhh.....the memories, the days when games had a challenge.
SNES - Some of the best looking graphics, and the funnest games!

-------------------------------------
Computers:
-------------------------------------
???MHZ, Win95?????? - First family pc, this thing was awesome, used to always play keen, doom, wolf3d plus all the other DOS classics!
350MHZ, Win98, 128mb ram - 2nd Family PC, sharing it between 5 people was a bitch
2.6GHZ, WINXP, 768MB ram, DVD-+RWDL(8x), CD Burner(48x), 200GB HD, 128MB 9200 radeon - My current pc, its wicked, if you were a rapper itd be wizzicked!
i got my nes about a year before the snes came out but it didnt bother me none, i got a good 3 years out of it and moved onto snes then n64 then gamecube. got a gbc after my n64 i think, just to play tetris dx. besides nintendo ive owned a sega megadrive aka genisis a ps1 and now ps2.
Used to have a megadrive (great console), then playstation 1, then N64. All died/got put in to some dark cupboard/lost interest etc.
PCs I've personally owned: firstly, several years ago, an old 366mhz Cyrix or something crappy like that. Then a year or two after that, a 600mhz P3. Still using it today with no problems
Commodore 64
BBC Micro (I never saw it being used, ever)
Amiga 500 - and the hard drive/memory expansion for it
Amiga 1200 x 3, one of which is in a tower, another was given to us
Supervision - Think Game Boy SP, but about the same time as original Game Boy and with not very good games.
Game Gear, with a Master Convertor so you could play Master System games with ridiculously small text
Amiga CD-32 - got an SX-1 for this which let you connect keyboard & floppy to it. It predates the tower and therefore the CD-ROM drive it had
PC - Pentium 133. Cool at the time, it even played Tomb Raider reasonably well... on the low resolution mode.
Playstation - joint Christmas present. It had to be at that launch price!
PC - AMD K6/2 500MHz. My first own PC
Dreamcast
Playstation 2
My current PC (Duron 1.3GHz)
Gamecube
