Which systems or games you always fawned over when you were younger? (self.retrogaming)

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

Definitely PS2. My cousin had God of War and I was insanely jealous. I remember thinking that it looked just like real life. Funny to see it now and compare it to the PS5 games.

I distinctly remember playing my friend's PS2 and thinking "there's no way video game graphics can get any better than this. This is the endgame" lol

Now we have massively better graphics but in many ways the experience and gameplay have gotten worse.
