And that's my console list.

In reality, it really goes:

1st: N/A
2nd - 8th: PC

1st : Pong
2nd : Odyssey
3rd :Atari 2600
4th : Colecovision
5th : Playstation / Playstation2
6th : XBox ( Just for the fact I recently purchased a system with emulators and games pre-installed)

More modern consoles have no interest for me, too many thumbs, and reflexes too slow.

But my real joy comes from typing a game from an old magazine, and then playing it, or trying to correct it if it does not work. My second childhood has arrived

I go by the ones I had (or my family)

1st. Pong
2nd. Atari 2600
3rd. - but instead 3rd Amstrad CPC
4th. - but instead 4th Intel 486
5th. Nintendo 64 (still using PCs though)
6th. - but instead Pentium 2/Pentium4
7th. Wii
8th. 3DS

Yes, you can't put the computers into the console generations but you get the point
