Consoles/peripherals you've never owned?

o1s1n

Thought this might be an interesting one. So folks here have owned an absolute **** tonne of gaming stuff over the years, but is there anything standout/common/popular you've never owned or maybe never even played?

I've never used a Snes Super Scope. Never even seen one in person. I've heard they're a pile of crap but they still hold this weird mystical thing to me where my only real connection to them is seeing the ad on TV when I was a kid.

I've also never owned a Master System. Had a Power Base Converter on release and also have a Master System Converter II, but never the actual console!

Los Lobos

I've never seen a Spectrum 48k computer in the flesh!!

Never got a Power Glove (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Glove) for the NES like they had in The Wizard - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wizard_(1989_film)

Smyths didn't have them in stock at the time down the West

Inviere

I think at one stage or another I've owned pretty much everything I'd wanted, with the exception of an N64DD The obvious Neo Geo AES goes without saying.

Thibus

I have had most of them
Never played a Neo Geo.
Played the Atari Jaguar, always wanted one but never had it
Oh or 3do, again played it but was a non runner to buy

Steve X2

Never had or played the Jaguar CD module. I'm sure there must be other things, but that's all I can think of for now.

I really have to get one of those things

There's a blood sugar monitor for the DS that looks cool!

I've never had a 32X or Sega CD. I know they weren't a success and aren't too common either. I kinda want a Sega CD though but at the same time I'm not really arsed.

Gamer Bhoy 89

Consoles I never owned at all;
Nintendo Game Boy/GB Colour
Game Boy Advance
Nintendo DS
NES
Super Nintendo
N64
Wii-U
Master System
SEGA 32X*
SEGA Mega CD*
SEGA Nomad**
SEGA Saturn**
SEGA Dreamcast**
Atari 5200
Atari 7800
Atari Jaguar
Philips CD-i
3DO
Neo-Geo
TurboGrafx-16**

*= borderline peripheral as they were really just an expansion of the MD
**= would love to get one

Peripherals I never owned;
Multitap for PS1/PS2
HDD for PS2


Consoles I missed out on as a child, but eventually bought myself as an adult;
Xbox
GameCube
Wii
Super Famicom (Japanese SNES)

I also had an Atari 2600 but I didn't like it that much (I was born in 89, forgive me)

Oh, and to give some info on the Super Scope to the O.P.
I have one - I got it bundled with my SFamicom and it is such an eyesore, I had to store it in the cupboard. No intention of using it - no intention of looking at it. Takes about 6 AA batteries. Don't get it. It's horrible :pac:

CiDeRmAn

I'll take the Super Scope off your hands, give it a good home!

The Last Bandit

Have had most of what I wanted at some stage, including the Jag CD - awful pos.

Actually wouldn't mind a Pippin or a X68000

They are not great imo.

Have one boxed somewhere, gave it a go about 12 years ago was disappointed with it.

I've a few, maybe three if you really want one, duck hunt was a great shooting game, first one with a bit of sport that I had.

Again I've spares if it ticks a box for you.

Poxy unit. The 48K+ on the other hand is deadly, no spares atm.

I went nuts trying to get a boxed Atari jaguar a few years ago, I kept missing out, have an unboxed one. I know a guy with a Savage jaguar collection, gave me the CD unit and converter back in the 1990's it was great fun

I'd like a boxed one just to look at, again i think if I play it I'll kill the nostalgia

CiDeRmAn

I have had a Speccy 48k and a lousy Specstrad 2+, but I'd love a 48+ or 128+ in my collection.
As Nintendo goes there's an early breakout clone they made that I'd love to have.
A 5200 might be nice, but I really need to get a Nuon back into my life!
I have never owned an AES but I think a consolised MVS would be a better buy for me.

eddhorse

I see something nice someone else gets on the forum and then i must have it

SO i blame all of you, looking at MSXs now and the thousand different models.

Tom Mann Centuria

I've never had a Commodore 64 and I'd quite like a breadbin version.

I'd quite like the Amstrad Spectrum +2 and +3 to go with my proper Speccys too.

CiDeRmAn

On reflection, I never got to own a Vic20 and there is some great games on there, Llamasoft stuff.

Also, I must pick up the SD card solutions for my C64 and Speccy, those devices just don't get enough use.

Doge

Never owned a NES or Gameboy (of any kind) to this day!

The only handheld devices I had was the Tomy Tronic Shark attack and some random LCD game.

The PS VIta is the first proper handheld system I bought, only got it a few weeks back.

Only picked up a Super Famicom a few years ago, and the Super Gameboy, but don't have any NTSC-J games to play for it.
I may have to do that region mod on the Super Gameboy.

You can tell I'm a bit of Sega and Sony fanboy hehe.

Also never owned a Saturn or Dreamcast.

I have a working Vectrex though so that makes up for it! :P

Er...I have 7 48k machines, a +2, a +3, and a 128k Toastrack.

.....I kinda like my spectrums.

Atavan-Halen

As a kid I always wanted one of the big metal dance pads for the PlayStation for DDR. Something like this



I remember seeing them in Argos at the time for something like £150.

I’ve also never owned a Jaguar despite wanting one even though there’s feck all worth owning one for

I would love to own a late model 512K SAM Coupe 8-bit computer. The last of these type of 8 bit machines.

Z80B processor.

Like hens teeth to buy, and be prepared to part with a serious wad of cash.

Some games like Prince of Persia, and F16 combat pilot.

The 8-bit Guy, on his YouTube channel restored a Vic20 recently....





Most sane people would have binned it in the condition it came to him in.

You made the right choice

But what games ended up being played on the PS...
I mean, if it was a steady diet of Fifa and Actua Golf it was money ill-spent!

All I can say is fifa wasn't one of the games and neither was golf.

Still better than the best the N64 had to offer

Have you a ZX81

I left that out. I want a ZX81

A terrible looking yoke, with terrible games, but I still want one for some reason.

cavemeister

I always wanted a Neo Geo when I was younger but they were about 5 times the price of a regular 16 bit console and games were 70 pounds at the time which was crazy money.

Thank god for emulators today

I want a Jupiter Ace.
Think of a white ZX81 with a rubber keyboard. Vacuform shell.
Awful games.

lawred2

only ever owned a SNES that my folks bought me

and we only ever had two games
