Which systems or games you always fawned over when you were younger? (programming.dev)

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

PSP. I remember seeing, playing and enjoying games (particularly LittleBigPlanet and Burnout Dominator) on my then-friends' consoles multiple times in a few years, before finally getting my own in 2015.

I consider myself lucky. Sometime after I got a paid internship, I saved enough money to buy a PSP, sometime in 2012. The good boy is still alive and kicking, though hardly getting any attention from me.
