Title: What Console Haven't You Used In A Long While Or Never?
Post by: oldgamerz on August 13, 2018, 07:27:45 pm
My console that I never used so far is my Wii and I've had it less than a year. Is there a console that you haven't used in a long time? Name A console you never ran before or haven't ran in a long long time. and my Sega Genesis and my NES haven't been played in a long while either maybe all year. This is may be a too common thread but I'll let you judge.

My PlayStation 3 rarely gets used. My DreamCast too, but that's mostly because I don't like the controller and am waiting for HD Retrovisions component cables.

I use my Master System the least of all my consoles. It was somewhat of an impulse buy, so there's nothing on it I really felt a strong compulsion to play before I picked it up. Don't regret having it by any stretch, but don't play it much either.

That was my Atari 2600. I just couldn't find much enjoyment in those games. Sold it.

I could say the same for N64. HATE that controller with a passion. Sold it.

And my Saturn, which was just too expensive and hard to come across games for. Wasn't fun to collect for. Sold it.

Also my TurboGrafx-16...I thought. But I've been kicking myself since for getting rid of it. It was fun, despite being hard to collect for.

I own like 5 TG-16 games and wish I had more lol. Such a fun system to play.

Have never played a Sega master system, nor the jaguar.

Recently sold my Atari Jaguar because I had only turned it on when I bought it.  Rarely touch my Saturn or Dreamcast either.  Virtual Boy is just a glorified centerpiece.  Everything else gets at least some regular play time.

I don't sell.
Am still in the "collecting" mode.

Working on having at least two of each console.

And a retron here and there.

The first system that came to mind is the NES. I rarely played my NES when I had it, so little that I actually sold my NES consoles and about 85% of all my games for it. I would like to buy one again, but it would have to be super cheap, same with the games I let go of.


As far as consoles I've never played, I've never once played a 3DO, CDi, or Jaguar.

Dreamcast. Enjoyed the hell out of it since 1999, although I moved on.

Been playing Wii exclusively the past months since I started collecting for the system.

I can add the Master System to my never played list as well. Forgot about that one.

My ps3 easily used it maybe three times max some years ago.

if I had to choose for what console I had get rid of all games, the ps3 would be the first thing to go. I would not mind giving those away free of charge honestly it will not be missed  :P

The console I least play is, by far, my Apple Pippin.
It is always connected to my CRT, however, as most Pippin owners, I own only one game for it: Gundam Tactics Mobilty Fleet 0079.
I only turn it on when someone who has never seen it comes to place and asks me to try it.

Overall, my Atari 2600 is my least played console. I had some fun with it when I first bought it; however, it's been packed up, and put away for quite some time.
As for the consoles I still have hooked up, and displayed, my Genesis takes the cake for the least played. I can't recall the last time I played it, but I do remember for sure I was playing NBA Jam.

I hate 'neglecting' my consoles, but I just can't play everything every day.  As far as never...I have not yet hooked up either my NES or SNES Classic edition. 

I have an Odyssey II that I've never played.  The solder points where the power comes in have broken.  I've jumped the points by holding screwdrivers, and gotten a start screen, so I know it works otherwise.  I've never learned how to solder and have been too timid to try to fix it.

Just been playing Xbox One lately. Last game I played on PS4 was The Order. I got the 16 bit systems ready to play, but not much else.
