What is your favorite gaming system that you no longer own? (but wish you did?)
I wil never forgive myself for selling my two turbo-graphix-16 systems and my beloved Sega Saturn :angry:
the Saturn had 2-D capabilities that were far beyond there time.I was addicted to Streetfighter Alpha 2 and the original Dayeeetona! on the SS damn I miss those games :( and the Turbo had so many great underrated games that I still remember fondly to this day.

I'm lucky, I actually own every system I used to (and quite a few more :D ).

The NES. The one I had in my childhood was sold off about 10 years ago. I might get another one when I have more room for another console, or if I come across a deal that's too good to pass up.

I wish i still had my Atari 2600 because that is the only system i had when i was younger i don't have now.\
I wish i never sold me Genesis and games because i still don't have all the ones i used to.
Some of the games we sold it with are worth more than we sold them for all together.

I'd like to have my Game Gear back, just as long as it comes with a battery pack too.

Made the mistake of selling my Master System when the SNES came out to afford it. Had all the accesories too. I'm regretting it talking about this now...

The only one I've regretted selling was my NGPC. I was trying to streamline my collection by getting rid of the handheld stuff, but that didn't last long. I'll pick up another on eof these days.

Well....I regretted trading in my Dreamcast for an XboX. I recently picked up another one. I'm on my second Cube and second PS2. It took me a while to figure out which next gen system lineup that I'm comfortable with......PS2, Cube, DC but no XboX. The only XboX game that I want is Fable, no big deal. I can live without it.

I've reclaimed any lost systems that I wanted to keep. I wish that I could live comfortably with just my N64s. That would be so easy. I've been tempted a few times.......

I sold my Neo Geo CDZ to somebody on the boards. I think it was the Dreaming Eye. I don't regret it but it is my favorite gaming system I no longer own.

THE ONE, THE ONLY- RCM

If You asked me this last week, I would've answered "SNES" but I just bought one a couple of days ago. I forgot how much I loved it. My sister took ours when she got married.

My grandma got it for us kids to play at her house so it was never really mine but I remember the time I went to visit and it was all gone.

My PC Engine Duo. It's in Canada undergoing numerous surgeries. The future of it is uncertain.

I may have to get a new one, don't know.

Me Too.

I did sell my nes's off a few times as a kid. I did regret that, although I have one now, I did have over 40 games, and one with like 80 games and sold them both, I am mad at myself for getting so little for them.

When I started thinking about it, I was surprised when I realized how many systems I once had but don't anymore...

Atari 7800
NES
Original Game Boy
Pocket Game Boy
Game Boy Color
3DO
Sega CD

Surprisingly, I don't really regret selling any of these. I never really played my NES much (unlike most, I missed the whole NES era and only got one after the fact as it first came out at a time I wasn't playing games) and I gave it to a woman I know who really appreciated it. If I had to pick one, I guess I'd pick the 3DO...

My saturn that I bought brand new at one of my local retro gaming stores around 4 years ago that I got rid of about 3 years ago.
It used to be my dreamcast, until I got another one around 1 year ago.

I didn't actually get rid of it but I did own a Radio Shack TRS-80 model 1 lvl 2 computer (w/ 16k RAM) It actually had some excellent games made for it. I played my first Epyx (Automated Simulations) game on it - Temple of Asphai, Crush, Crumble and Chop etc. I would say that it's not a 'true' gaming system - but that was all I really did with the Trash-80r (play games). Plus, it's kinda a rarity and would have been a unique addition to my console collection.

Back to how it was "discarded" - While at college - my mom decided to give the TRS-80, my C64 (plus tons of games) away to a friend with kids. She figured that I didn't use it anymore and maybe the friends kids would have some fun with it. :hmm:

I FINALLY got my X-box back from a friend I hadnt realized how much I liked the system just as much as my PS2 and DC. I can play GTA 3 forever with my own personal fav music playing in the background 8-)
too bad he scratched it up on top a little some ppl just cant take care of thier game systems. :angry:

I actually was one of the few souls in this world to own a Neo Geo (cart console, not CD). I regret selling it with all my games (6) when I think about it. It was a good system, even though the majority of the games were fighting ones.

I also sold my Turbografx, but that was something I really wanted to do (and I bought a SNES with the money I made).
