I chose the Sega Genesis, because it was the console that I started to really comprehend console gaming upon (not my first though: my first was actually an Atari 2600 that my dad bought back in California years before he discovered PC gaming, and never bought me a console ever again *sobs*, in fact, he bought me a Genesis a good while before he discovered that a personal computer could do more than help him join Bulletin Board Systems and do work-related stuff *stops sobbing*)... It has so many memories for me just watching other people play it, like the time my dad got all the Chaos Emeralds in Sonic the Hedgehog (the Genesis version, obviously, not the cruddy Master System version, the who-gives-a-shit Game Gear version, or the epically terrible X360 and PS3 versions released more recently), the time my uncle Steve beat Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (again, the Genesis version), and, when I finally got the nerve to pick up the controller (hey, I was 9, and couldn't control my Schizophrenia; heck, they didn't even diagnose me as full-on Schizophrenic until I was a teenager; up until that point I was officially diagnosed with "Schizo-typo Disorder"), the time I beat Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (unfortunately without collecting any of the Chaos Emeralds, so I got the "suckish" ending on the screen after the credits, you know, the one where Dr. Egg- oops, Robotnik and Knuckles were passing the Chaos Emeralds between themselves in a self-satisfied manner, reminding you that they got the last laugh in that particular endeavor). Many memories...

Plus, the Genesis version of Street Fighter 2 was superior to any fighting game on the home console market at that time, save possibly for Fatal Fury 2 on the Neo Geo, and the Genesis and its version of the game were far cheaper than they were at the time...
