My mom made me sell my ps2 (with a ton of games, even with the buzz controllers, microphones, etc.) for 20 bucks. I die inside every time I remember this lol.

She also made me sell my PSP because I “didn’t play” with it. Important thing to say: my parents refused to buy me new games, I only had a few and once I completed them I stopped playing…

Not a console but I used to have a working Amiga 500 in the 90’s which I got rid of in favor of a PC. Wish I’d had held on to that one.

My Virtual Boy.

My GameBoy Pocket, which I sold to get a GameBoy Color, which I sold to get a GameBoy Advance.

I do still have my GameBoy Advance, and I’ve upgraded it with an IPS screen and USBC rechargable battery. I just wish I had kept all my other handhelds so I could upgrade those too.

I still shudder over the fact that my mom made me trade in my SNES and a bunch of games for store credit during the N64 era. I can’t remember exactly which games or how many were traded, but I know that we only had enough store credit to buy Mario Party. I may need therapy to truly put this behind me.

I regret all of them, but I needed money so.

My modded PS1. It was the first hardware mod I ever did. It was a mess. It booted games sometimes, froze periodically. But, I would love to go back and fix the mod today and play some classics. I do have an unmodded ps1 mini with the attachment screen I have since purchased, but it just isn’t the same.

I’ve been feeling this lately as well. I’ll see people post pictures of display cases filled with all their consoles and it makes me regret giving away my old consoles when I bought a new one.

I especially miss my N64.

Console, no. But somehow my parents convinced me to give away my copy of Pokémon Blue to one of my cousins. One of the dumbest things I’ve done, even if It wasn’t entirely my fault.

Never personally sold any of my previously owned consoles, but I did “lose”* my Super Nintendo around 2001 and, sometime in 2011, my older brother messed up my PSone’s lid and it “disappeared” shortly afterwards.

* This loss was either my mom or aunt getting rid of it because "nobody is using it anymore, it's just wasting space and gathering dust". The same end my brother's CCE Turbo Game (a brazilian famiclone) had when I was even younger

I still have all mine. But I never play them. I mess with emulators though.

I still have a bunch of my original consoles: NES, Genesis, Dreamcast. The only I don’t still have are my PS1 (original, not the tiny One), N64, and Gamecube. PS upgraded to a PS2, and to be honest I never really played the N64 much. But the GC just kind of fell by the wayside and got lost. It had such amazingly unique games, but just was overlooked (even by me at the time) because it just didn’t match up graphically and didn’t really have the 1st or 3rd party support it needed.

Not retro, but I sold my Nintendo DS, and copy of Platinum and Heart Gold for like $30 in high school. Probably got McDonald’s with the money. I regret it so much.

I slightly regret selling my Wii U to get a Switch but I think there’s still time to backpedal on that one without it being a huge loss.

My Dreamcast… I had almost every game downloaded and there was so much choice I never committed to anything and got bored. It taught me a lesson about piracy and the value of attention.

I’m still holding on to my commodore 64. I’m taking that thing to my grave
