I am a self-professed gadget freak and love messing around with hardware. Those who know me know that I have a nice collection of video game consoles, the collection includes:

Nintendo

• Original NES
• Super Nintendo
• Nintendo 64, gold
• Nintendo Gamecube, black
• Nintendo Wii
• Original Game Boy
• Game Boy Color
• Game Boy Advance
• Game Boy Advance SP
• Original Nintendo DS

Sony

• Playstation, 2nd revision
• Original Playstation 2
• Playstation 3, 60GB
• Playstation Portable, a.k.a. PSP

Sega

• Dreamcast

Microsoft

• XBOX 360, 20GB

I also have a Turbo Express, a portable version of the NEC Turbo Grafx 16. Almost all of my consoles I purchased new or was given as a present; the only somewhat exception is the original NES. I originally was given an NES as a child but later grew tired of it after getting a Super Nintendo, so I gave it to one of my-then relatives. A couple of years ago, my hankering for the original Mario and Mega Man games grew and grew and I wanted to play the unadulterated versions, so I picked up a used original NES with a bunch of games online.
