          @mediamogul the 3do was a technical masterpiece in its day, I for one played it before the playstation was released, it was like magic.
          I played the saturn before anyone I knew had a playstation. also a great piece of kit.

              @muehltime Pokémon Ultra Violet combines Fire Red and Green Leaf. It also removes the need for trading and anything else that was included in the original games to get Pokémon, so with Ultra Violet you can really catch them all.
              It was my first (and last) Pokémon game and I really liked it to not have to choose between Red or Green.

                  Indeed, it's a fun game. I only would like that it had a password system back in the days (today we have save states and/or can leave the game paused on our emulation devices).

                    the 3do was a technical masterpiece in its day

                    I'm probably a little tough on it due to the number of full motion video games it had. Like the SegaCD, the system was definitely at it's strongest when running more traditional game titles and despite it's limited library, it was indeed technically superior to anything else out at the time. I have to admit that I found 'Return Fire' to be particularly fun with a friend, so I've gone back and changed my answer ;).

                                I played a lot Demon Attack on my Vic20: Imagic created some great titles !
                                Even if Atari sued Imagic for Demon Attack because of its resemblance to Phoenix...

                                  @udb23 Odd that Demon Attack was so well known for Atari 2600 when they also had a port of Phoenix.... was Demon Attack an upgrade?

                                    @muehltime Concept is similar to Phoenix as you have to shoot birds too; "demons" :-D
                                    But gameplay is different and to me graphics were better (for that time) than other games both for Atari and Vic20.

I honestly couldn't tell you what games I had, except for an Isometric Star Wars game that was pretty fun, until I got to a Droideka that I couldn't get passed.
                                          Nintendo 64: Mario Kart (I only played N64 once at a mate's place for a party)

                                          Sega Gamegear: Sonic (can't remember which one. I used to swap with a school friend, my gameboy for his gamegear. I'd play it under my bed covers when I was supposed to be asleep. The backlit screen was awesome.)
                                          Sega Genesis/Megadrive: General Chaos (This is probably my number 1 game of all time. I never even played it multiplayer, which is apparently where the game really shines.)
