Re: Are you the original owner of your retro systems?
Only my (very yellow) SNES and Game Boy are originally owned by me. My original NES had orange juice spilled on it. I'm sure the pin connector was shit too, so I bought a refurbished one.

The only console i have that is original is my Game Gear, still works perfect too, the screen is a little dirty.
Re: Are you the original owner of your retro systems?
I am the original owner of my Genesis - Sega CD - 32X, Saturn and Dreamcast. While I bought a Master System, NES, TG16, PS1, PS2 and Xbox new I no longer have those units and have repurchased them second hand.

Re: Are you the original owner of your retro systems?
Just my NES and PS1. Although technically it was my wife's NES that she took w/ her when she moved out but yeah it's still an original. The following retro's I had to buy used since the originals were either busted or stolen:
SNES
Genesis
Sega CD
GB
N64
I'm not sure if PS2, Xbox, Gamecube, Dreamcast, and GBA are considered retro but those are also mine originally.

I am addicted to video games, especially retro gaming from my era. I have: NES, SNES, Nintendo 64, Gamecube, Gameboy, GBA, Wii, Sega Genesis, Sega CD, Dreamcast, PS1, PS2, Xbox, and Xbox 360. I have probably over 1,000 games in total for all these systems combined. Yes, I need help and I wouldn't have it any other way! This is my passion and hey my wife still loves me!!

My Genesis. That's it though.
I'm still not sure whether I'm a kid or a squid now.

Re: Are you the original owner of your retro systems?
My list:
Genesis
SNES
Nomad
Gamegear
Gameboy (brick)
N64
Saturn
Dreamcast
I think that is all of them. Unfortunately, I would've been an original owner of a Virtual Boy, 32X, Sega CD, 3DO and some others but my Dad fucking threw them out when he moved out of his house. I have since replaced the 32X and Sega CD.
Then the newer systems:
DSi XL
3DS
PS3
360
Wii
Genesis
SNES
Nomad
Gamegear
Gameboy (brick)
N64
Saturn
Dreamcast
