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

Kids growing up today will never know the pure awe of going in a Blockbuster Video and playing Mario64 on a Nintendo 64 store demo for the first time. It was absolutely amazing.

I'm an older millennial and I've played a lot of cool games. Nothing comes close to that, though.

So true. I got chills all over again just reading your perfect description of that moment.
