Me too, though I found it at a garage sale at a neighbour's house.
For consoles, my list is pretty small (compared to some of yours, at least)
Atari 2600
NES (though, sadly, I only got it a year or two ago)
N64
Gamecube
Xbox 360
I used to play Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64 for hours with friends. The 360 has maybe 15 hours of use on it, even though I bought it when it first came out. The Gamecube has even less... maybe 3 hours of use? lol
As for PC's, I used to geek out on a couple of text-based RPG's (Star Trek was one, I think, and the other was some detective game) back when my parents bought our first computer. Then once we started upgrading, I began wasting hours on games a few games. The most memorable ones were
Simcity
Total Annihilation (still one of my favourite games)
Aces of the Pacific
Star Wars: Dark Forces
Star Wars: X-Wing (and vs. Tie Fighter)
Counterstrike
Apart from those, I haven't done much in the way of gaming. After Counterstrike 1.4 grew stale, I've pretty much steered clear of games. I'll still pick up one of my Rock Band/Guitar Hero guitars with a friend and "jam" while drinking, or maybe head over to a friend's to play MW:2 or Battlefield on their PS3, but that's pretty much it now.
Unless Angry Birds on an iPhone counts...?
