    I think the Game Boy Color is my favourite. It just fit it’s purpose so well. Simple, rugged, compact, reasonably priced and looked great. The cartridge system was perfect for kids.

    The original Game Boy just missed the sweet spot and the DS is when they start getting more fragile, more expensive and the game cards were a lot less kid friendly than the cartridges were. They were all good in their own right still but didn’t quite hit the mark as well. The non-SP advance was pretty close though.

    Steamdeck because it’s so versatile and powerful. I also like that all the linux gaming improvements flow through to my linux desktop pc as well.

    Gameboy advanced because it was so portable.

      I miss my GBA, I loved the form factor of that little guy. Fit perfectly in a pocket, super comfortable to hold for ages. I had the see through plastic version which was super cool.

    Favourite of all time? Between snes and dreamcast.

    I stopped with consoles after the first Xbox. PC ever since.

    Consoles I had.

    Phillips odyssey / intellivision (don’t remember too much about those)

    Atari 2600. Amazing for the time, and now I know more about the architecture, I have huge respect for the developers of the time.

    Sega master system / nes. I cannot remember which we had first, probably Sega. Again, good good for the time. I think we had double dragon and golden axe on sms (and it had cool built in maze game). Mario games on the nes were of course also great.

    Megadrive. Mortal combat and sonic, that is all. Great system for the time.

    Snes, Mario kart. Mode 7 was pretty good.

    Psx, was quite good but pc gaming was starting to warm up.

    Dreamcast, I mostly remember metropolis street racer. I loved that game.

    Xbox. Burnout games were great. But it was around the time I was getting more into PC gaming.

    Mostly retro stuff as you can see.

    Someone mentioned the Steam Deck, and yeah that’s a no brainer. But just for nostalgia I’m gonna say the PlayStation 2! All my childhood favorites are on there like Sly Cooper, Ratchet & Clank and Jak and Daxter.

    Out of dedicated consoles (no PC or PC handhelds or anything like it), gonna go with xbox360. It’s probably the console I’ve spent the absolute most time playing (computer/laptop not included). Otherwise, my 2nd pick is PS2 since I’ve probably played it the 2nd most amount timewise.

      Dreamcast slaps. I finally have learned to solder, so I really need to get on fixing mine up since the disk drive finally died.

      I never bought the DS or 3DS when they were out, I stopped at GameBoy Advance SP.

      However, two years ago working a trash job I found a lost Korean-language 3DS that I was unable to trace the owner, so I wiped it, modded it to English, and made it my own.

      Further, I used the 3DS hacks walkthrough to further modify the 3DS and now I’ve got a 128gb MicroSD card with about 100 pirated 3DS games on it.

        If you can, you should just get a GDEMU for your Dreamcast. You won’t have to worry about disk drive failure again.

          Oh yeah, that’s exactly the sort of mod I have been looking into! Maybe even the exact one, it’s been about a year or two since I looked. There’s no reason to replace the optical disk drive at this point, when better, less flaky options exist.
