Well, I started with Nintendo handhelds in '89 with the Gameboy and played the living heck of that, but over the years moved to primarily TV-based consoles. Recently though, in my old age, I picked up some of the portables I never had and have a reshelled DS and a Hyrule 3DS XL. The 3DS is right behind my PS5 as favorite system of all time, mainly since it's hacked and I can run all the games of my youth from all systems.
It's certainly due to when I was most active in gaming as a kid but any Mario sidescroller will forever live in my heart. Pick a flavor, any system, if it has a plumber and he runs and jumps, it's my favorite
I don't really have any niche games on the DS systems these days, but if you want something really silly and esoteric, grab Penguin Wars for the Gameboy. It's one-dimensionally terrible, annoying and utterly delightful.
I desperately wanted one but couldn't do it at the time, and since I already have an "antique" Mac Pro G5 sitting here (in working condition!) that I never use, feels like putting a trash can in the mix woulnd't be my smartest move at this point. :D
Cool machine though, glad to see you still have one that is usable and kicking it!
My current setup, though I’ll probably change it in a month. Yes I have a Windows machine as well but I compensate with two MacBook Pro M1’s and an iPad. 😄
I hope I also get bonus points for the Mac Pro G5 (that still works!), the Mac Mini in my network rack and the still functional Newton MessagePad 100.
