What consoles or handhelds did you overlook when they are considered modern that you now deeply regret?
I have two, well...I guess 1 1/2 depending on how you look it.
PS1: I only played the PS1 a handful of times when it was considered Sony's current console, however most of my experiences as a gamer in the mid to late 90s were either on the N64 or Saturn. I actually bought a PS1 console the same day the PS2 console came out, thinking it would be months before I'd be able to grab Sony's then newest console. However, I'd actually get a PS2 for Christmas just a few months later, but anyhow. I did get into the PS1 towards the very tail end of its life, and since then I've certainly made up for lost time by playing a ton of PS1 games over the years. Still, I really wish one of my friends at least would have had a PS1 for me to play more. It's just such a cool console and one I wish I'd have been able to make more memories with back in the late 90s.
GBA: What's sad is I actually did have a GBA in the early 2000s. I actually got a GBA for Christmas the same year they came out, along with Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (which wasn't that great tbh). The only games I remember really getting into on my GBA were Advance Wars and later on Pokemon Ruby. Especially over the last couple years, I've developed a newfound appreciation for the GBA, one that has blossomed over time into full blown love. So, so many excellent games were released on it, and I find its graphics and sound to be beyond charming and nostalgic. I just wish I'd spent more time with the GBA back in the 2000s when I owned my original one, but I guess it's better to appreciate something eventually rather than never.
