Do you have any consoles you own for just ONE game?

Its ok...it happens. The system actually had impressive hardware....if it wasnt so  difficult to code for.

Same.

Also an N64 just for Sin & Punishment, and an OG Xbox for Panzer Dragoon Orta. (it's always the rail shooters, for whatever reason)

[esadajr]

Like many I thought about getting a Jag-u-ar for T2K but then I played the Saturn version. Not bad and has the awesome red book soundtrack.

[DragonmasterDan]

There's certainly other playable games on it.

But 90% of all time I've spent playing Ngage games has been with Pocket Kingdom.

[blueraven]

I bought a PC-FX just to play Zeroigear

[esadajr]

One cool thing about Jags is you can still find them brand new in the box and for pretty much the same price as back in 93. Which in adjusted inflation dollars means you're getting it for like 40% off!
What other console does that?

My Xbox 360 isn't silent at all (Jasper chipset, so latest model of the fat line), but once games are installed on the HDD, the constant fan noise alone is quite acceptable. At least not some high pitched whine or constantly changing revs. I once wrote a guide how to install a genuine slim 500 GB HDD into the fat lady's caddy, I don't know if I posted that here on the forums too? Anybody interested?

Can't be louder than the Dreamcast.

I bought a £4000 PC just to play civilisation 2

I bought a £4000 PC just to play civilisation 2

Totally worth it... Seriously.  I probably have several thousands of hours into that game.

This will sound bad... PS4 for call of duty.  I ended up downloading some of the free games they offered and each year I grab the new CoD game to play with friends.  Haven't bothered looking into any other games/series yet though.

Edit: I did buy FF7 on the PS4... excellent port with some nice add ons (the speed up 3x mode is great!) so I guess that makes the system two games.  And technically I have three CoD games on the system now so I guess again that's four games total.  Either way... whatever.

[KPat]

I'm not quite there yet, but I have bought Road Avengers in preparation for the start of a single game Sega CD collection.  Like the rest of you folks this will likely lead to an expanded collection, but that's where it will start.

[Johnpv]

Years ago when it was still the new system I bought an og Xbox just for Panzer Dragoon Orta.  I eventually got more games for it.

[DQ187]

Recently got a Virtual Boy just for Vertical Force    im a sucker for vertical shooters, especially from hudson soft!

[blueraven]

Wait!!

I also want A C64 so I can play USAGI YOJIMBO.

So, gynt, that makes 2 one-off systems.

Wait, that exists? GODDAMN, how did I not know this?

I love classic Star Soldier-esque shooters... is this Vertical Force decent?

Lol, i was surprised 2! But yeah, out if the 14 actual US released virtual boy games hudson soft put out a shoot em up!  It is pretty decent! Only problem is you gotta play it on a virtual boy!

[BlueBMW]

Honestly Virtual Boy has one of the best ratios of Good/Crap as far as games go.  Many VB games are quite awesome.  I really enjoyed Vertical Force and the Wario game (its a lot like Warioland on GB)

Bound High is excellent too... though I dont know how easy it is to find.  I think it was an unreleased game that later some repros were sold of.

[Senshi]

I have a dreamcast with Pier solar. I'm sure that will get some barbs thrown my way.

Havnt played any of the repros or homebrews but i do have the 14 US titles now and they are pretty fun! I really wish Nintendo would put them out in the 3DS store! Seems like a no brainer and an awesome way to be able to play em and preserve the virtual boy legacy!

@Senshi, get Mars Matrix & Cannon Spike and have a gay ol time!

Vertical Force is the main reason why I keep a Virtual Boy system around.   Fun game but the Virtual Boy really strains my eyes.

[johnnykonami]

I played a friends Virtual Boy back in the day and I remember having a problem with the heft and awkwardness of the unit on my head rather than eye strain.  I think about getting one again though because of my love for the GB, and it's similarities to that - plus it seems to have some really cool games.  Innsmouth no Yakata in particular strikes my interest with me being a big horror buff, but also Wario, Tennis, and a few others.

[blueraven]

I got a Virtual Boy for Teleroboxer.

Ppl would come to my apartment on the weekends and would want to play it, and the rules were;
1. you had to do like 6 bong hits before you played it and
3. the first person without a migrane won.

...2 was forgotten around puff 4. Too many maths.

Needless to say I dont have a virtual boy anymore

Mine is way louder than the Dreamcast - sounds like a cement mixer...  When it is loading it sounds like there are chunks of gravel in the drive...

[esadajr]

If Sony / Naughty Dog made "The Last of Us 2" then I'd get a PS4.

[o.pwuaioc]

A bunch for me, if not one game, then just a small number. I originally got the Lynx primarily for Robotron 2084, though I'm thinking of selling it. The 7800 I primarily keep for two games, Centipede and Robotron 2084.

The GameCube I kept primarily for Metroid Prime, though now I just use the Wii, which adds Wii Sports (my wife loves the boxing) to Metroid as two reasons for keeping it.

The PSP I bought primarily for Final Fantasy IV: After Years, though I've since found a few more to keep me satisfied. I can see myself selling it in a few years, though. Finally, I was keeping the NGCD around just for Sonic Wings III, but I think that's all going to go, too.

Edit: Oh, and I keep Steam around for a half dozen games, basically Portal, Civ, Road Redemption, Left 4 Dead, and Mortal Kombat IX.

Allow me to take this opportunity to plug one of my masterworks.

I still think you should bring that back as your avatar again

[blueraven]

I also feel like the PCFX is one of those systems where if you're not into hentai games, you buy it for Xeroigears and hope that one of the programming teams here is reading every one of your posts and will make something badass that will make your purchase worthwhile.

I'd like to say that I enjoy Xeroigeams and Battle Heat immensely but so far I've been frustrated with the small library.

And I will support any homebrew project that ports something to this console.

[Psycho Punch]

I think that wanting to own a PCFX is the same as wanting to own a PCE PrintBooster or Virtual Cushion. It's more about wanting to own a curiosity than to play any kind of game in it.

Let's be honest, you're not buying one because you MUST see the anime boobies in Pia Carrot or play any other game from a genre that's dime a dozen on other "normal" consoles.

Except...the virtual cushion can work with every single game/soundsource.

So...Virtual Cushion is universal product.

I am currently using my VC with 8-track home stereo.

And when I am on the toilet, my Vita.

There are a handful of great FX games.  Those of us that bought the good stuff years ago are quite happy.

[bartre]

I should revise my earlier statement.
I bought the Vita TV specifically for Ys IV and Persona 4 Golden.

buuuuut that library has expanded quite a bit since, so whatever.

They're similar, sure, but definitely not the same.  The PC-FX has several legitimately good games, whereas the Print Booster (and Illust Booster and Photo Reader) is nigh useless.

Agreed. At least you can play the PC-FX. The print booster... well... you know necro, you have one

[Digi.k]

just remembered:

Initially :
imported a japanese sega saturn just for Virtua Fighter 2
imported a japanese launch dreamcast just for Virtua Fighter 3
purchased Gamecube for Phantasy Star Online I & II
bought and built a new pc for Phantasy Star Online 2
Interface unit and CD-Rom just for Wonder boy III

but then I ended up with a collection of games for all those systems except for the pc which was just for PSO2, photoshopping and youtubing

[roflmao]

Dragon Force on the Saturn. I've got other games for the Saturn, but really the only reason I hang on to that console is Dragon Force. I've never played anything else quite like it.

if something I really like is only on consoles I may grab a PS4. For now everything I like is on PC so I'm good.

I just tried to order this on Amazon Japan and the shipping is over $200!

Play-Asia charged more for the game, but shipping was $35, which seems okay for a big box.
