Which systems or games you always fawned over when you were younger? (programming.dev)

Stuff that, back when you were in the economic clutches of your parents, you could but dream of having.

For me, there were several. The Dreamcast was the first, then the PS2, back in the early 2000s

More recently, I've been completely enthralled by the Amiga and what it offered back in the late 80s. That's a system that was never available around my parts (Brazil), even as a clone product or contraband

I always went over to a neighbors to play Super Mario World on his Super Nintendo as a kid. Folks bought me a PS1 for christmas not too long after that and basically decided that was going to be the last console they'd buy me so I'd go over to my friends places to play on their Gamecube and PS2s. My first paycheck I got working a summer job was used to buy a PS2 .
