Which console do you wish you'd been 'in' on the first time round?

In other words, which console did you miss the first time around that you really wish you hadn't?

For me it's the SNES. I was always a SEGA kid, and as such had the Mega Drive. I then moved to the PC for a bit, and then onto the Playstation. Unfortunately, this meant I missed out on a lot of classics, like the later 2D Mario games, the original Mario Kart, Megaman series and the International Superstar Soccer games.
Granted there were some excellent SEGA-exclusive games too, and there were probably more to be honest, but I do feel like I missed out a bit.

NES. I apparently missed a few big games on that system. I never have owned one. I was a SEGA kid as well and loved my SEGA systems and games. There were, apparently, a lot more games on the NES though.

Looking back I remember wanting a Playstation and a Sega Saturn. If I had to pick I would definately go with the PS. I ended up with an SNES when my friend had a PS. We used to hang out at each others house and bring both consoles so we could try and convince each other who had the better one. In the end I think both consoles were great in their own ways.

Probably the PS2. That's the only console I've really liked and even wanted and haven't eventually gotten. Wouldn't be a problem if my PS3 was backwards compatible, but oh well... you can't have everything. :P

The Neo Geo, Turbo Graphix and the 3D0. I have a pretty large collection stemming from the Atari 2600, but those.........well I never got my hands on them, still looking though. I saw a 3D0 by Panasonic I believe some time ago in Florida, but it was like $500 at the time!

Patience though, if I managed to get a Virtual Boy and a Jaguar I'm pretty sure those elusive three will fall in my hands some day.

Playstation, probably. And SNES, but mostly Playstation. And PS2. I was a Sega kid too, so I was always into Dreamcast and Saturn and all that.

Have a PS now and really enjoy some of the games, but you miss out on the "Wow, this game is amazing!" when you play it years later.

wish I had a neo geo for sure, loved those games. That was the best part of going to pizza hut as a kid
