I'm surprised to see that some people still have really old consoles. We still have my GBC but it belongs to my sister now.
And Unfortunately I don't have Pokémon Red anymore.

No, it never is. Some people may argue that it's better, but if I don't have that joystick in my hand, those carts in the box, that smell of plastic, the woodgrain, that retro texture on the plastic, the instruction manuals...even the software itself doesn't run exactly as it should, and I love having those low-res scanlines on my TV screen. Emulation's just not the same at all. Even the Flashback 2 isn't exactly the same, but having that nice composite video instead of that fuzzy RF is pretty nice 
Just sucks that emulation is so much cheaper than collecting...I was hoping that Wii's Virtual Console would drive down prices for physical carts, but it hasn't at all =/

I have most of my old consoles. The 2600 broke and was lost (possibly discarded)...NES and Genesis got sold in a yard sale (What was I thinking??).
I've managed to replace most of what I've lost, though. I think it's costing me more to replace them than what we got for selling them

The first game I ever played was Sonic 2 on the Sega Genesis. I was pretty bad at it and kept landing on spikes or falling into pits. The first game I ever owned was Pokemon Blue on my red Game Boy, neither of which I own anymore. I still remember my starter, Charmander...*sniff*. I don't own the Genesis either, but I got my own a few years ago, and I have about ten games for it now, including almost all of the Sonic-related games.
Oddly enough, I own Pokemon Red. I can't remember where and when I got it...  |

I'm not sure, but I'm pretty sure it was either Battlezone or KABOOM for the Atari, one of those or an old text based 'the Amazing Spiderman' for my old Apple IIE that I can hardly remember.

I've always wanted to play that game, being the classic that it is...but unlike Infocom, it doesn't tell you cardinal directions for anything, so you just type "N" and hope that there's something good to the North. I gave up pretty quick =/

It was the official sequel to Wolf 3D.
There's also an unofficial sequel called Rise of the Triad.
