Do you have any consoles you own for just ONE game?
« on: July 13, 2016, 09:43:30 AM »
Curious, does anybody have any consoles that they own for just one gaming experience?
I have a few, and didn't know if others did too.

I have an OG XBOX for:  Jedi Academy
I have an SMS for: Dick Tracy
I have a GC for: Ikaruga  (and Gameboy player I guess)

I do have a few other games for each one, but nothing I care about.
I literally only keep those consoles for those games.

I got a PS2 again and had it modchipped just to play Tengai Makyou III.

I got a Japanese PS3 with full vackwards compatibility just to try to get decent picture quality while playing TMIII.

I got a Japanese 360 just for TM Ziria.

Not me.  I can see buying a system specifically for one game (like me getting a PSTV to play Ys), but it seems crazy to never buy more to play on it.

I bought a XaviX just for Jackie Chan Fitness Pad...but I bought the boxing game, too.

I only have a handful of Xbox and PS2 games, but I intend to get more.

I've got a Sega Master System 1 just for Sonic the Hedgehog, since I remember enjoying it a lot on a friend's Game Gear back in the day. Then, I realised that Sonic runs really slow on that PAL machine. (pun intended). So to speed the poor guy up, I yet need to perform a 50/60Hz mod.
One day, I'd like to get my hands on Micky Mouse: Land of Illusion, although I'm in no hurry.

Another friend gave me a Game Gear some years ago. He told me, he found it laying around somewhere, when he passed it on to me. Yeah, sure he did... I better not ask him twice about that.
I still have no game for it. Since many games are SMS conversions anyway, and I have no way of testing the hardware first before buying a game, I just leave it on the shelf.

They tried to make me do a recap
I said no, no, no

I was going to say no but I realized I never got more than Battle Heat for my PCFX.  Got it out of storage recently, it's all yellow now. :(  Had plans to one day buy Tengai Makyou and Team Innocent for it, at least.

I do buy consoles for one game initially, though.  Xbox 360 was entirely sold to me because of Dead Rising.  It's still exclusive to the 360, and one of my favorite games.  I eventually bought a ton of 360 games though.  Only have 4 games for my Neo Geo Pocket Color I bought in 99, but they are all 75% awesome.  100% awesome if you are into Sonic, that game didn't mesh with me though.  Card Fighter's Clash, Match of the Millenium, and Dark Arms are all favorites though.  Wish I had bought a couple more.  Everything else I bought a reasonable amount of games for.  My buddy bought a PS4 for Bloodborne and didn't have anything else until Odin Sphere.  It was like a whole year or more with just one game.

I bought a Virtual Boy for the 2nd time (cheap, though!) just for Red Alarm.  That is a really unique game; wish it were on the 3DS or something.

I got a Laseractive for Triad Stone. And thats it. :) I still have a few other games for it, but none of them get the playtime as much as Triad Stone does.

I bought a Laseractive just for Virtual Cameraman.

At least that's what crosses my mind to persuade myself out of the purchase everytime I see one on eBay.

My PS4 is basically a Nobunaga's Ambition machine by now (remember my PS4 thread? I should have stayed on PC imo :().

If I ever saw a LA for sale and it had Triad Stone I'd have a hard time not buying it. That's my most wanted game probably too, nice choice!

This. I think the system I have the fewest games for is Sega CD at 6 which I am looking to cut down to 5 soon and I'm not looking for any games for it. Maybe if some games were more reasonable price wise I'd have more for it, but I'm good with playing games like Keio, Snatcher etc... with cdrs...

Edit: And I mean shit, if Popful Mail goes up much more than current levels I'd be tempted to sell/trade it. I love Popful Mail as a game but damn.

I bought a JPN Dreamcast Console so I could play Shenmue without a boot disc, mod or any other sort of system hackery.

64DD for F-Zero Expansion.  Not sure if this counts because it's not a system, it's an expansion.  Also it's not a game, it's an expansion.

...also I ended up enjoying that 64DD golf game.

I have a 360 for the 3 Naruto sandbox styled games, but, then again, I got the system for free.....haven't touched it in years.
