Received a brand new copy on my birthday, created my Hunter, got connected, and finally reconnected with this wonderful video game.

I didn't own this console when it was released, but I remember being totally enamored with it. I thought everything about it was just so cool. The boot screen, the console shape and look, the games on it. It was just so cool. I have since purchased one as an adult and it is one of my favorite consoles of all time. There is a timeline where this came out and competed against the ps1 and not the PS2 and we live in a world where Sega is in Sony's place.

It did compete against the PS1. Unfortunately it only did so for about 18 months before the PS2 blew it (and everything else) away.

I remember being enamored with VMUs.

I thought it was so neat plugging something into your controller that seemed somewhere between a miniature GameBoy, a pistol mag, and a N64 rumble pak.
