Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo are a cool part of my childhood, but neither would stand up to the PS2 at this point. I'm not talking graphics or technology either, but the fact that the PS2 has the entire PS1 and PS2 backlogs playable on it's system, that is like 6 years of playing non stop before you'd run out of good content.

Oops, my fault, that was meant to be

Final Fantasy 2 & 3

I did have Final Fantasy 1 though...The NES 8-bit. Still awesome game.
 
1. PS1. I spent many an hour getting my arse kicked playing Tekken 3. Also Allundra, FF7, Castlevania: SOTN and many others.
2. Dreamcast. Though I no longer have my original DC I have one I picked up at a thrift shop for $7 i still fire it up to play MvsC 2, Worms, Ready2Rumble, Tony Hawk 2 and a few other games. When I first played it I thought to myself "Now THIS is next generation right here!".
3.NES. I was the happiest kid in the world when my father got me Super Mario Bros 3 for my 11th birthday. That and playing Bad Dudes and Super Dodgeball with my brother. "I'm BAD!"
4. Atari 7800. I bought a 7800 new with money I had saved up doing odd jobs for my parents. After hooking it up I spent many hours playing Pole Position II, Galaga, Ms. Pac-Man, Asteroids and MAD/Atlantis/Missle Command.
5. Game Boy. The original green/yellow screen ones. Long bus trips and waiting for my parents to pick me up after school in highschool were alleviated by spending some time in Jurassic Park or playing Tetris or Legend of Zelda.
