Sega Dreamcast. Got it for Soulcalibur, although It hunk I actually ended up playing Sonic Adventure first. The game that really got me was Skies of Arcadia, but that was a bit later. Dreamcast was turning out to be quite the RPG machine, but it also seemed like I was one of the only ones buying games for it. At the time, it looked like piracy was probably the last major thing that killed Sega, even before it killed all the record shops… I mean, it was on top of a previously failed generation and a declining arcade sphere. Kind of the perfect storm of disasters. Was a sad time to be a Sega fan because it felt like they did everything right that generation.
The last console my parents bought for me (well, the family, all my consoles before I moved out at 18 were family consoles) was a replacement PSX. One of the big clunky ones.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
