Got a little teary eyes from my own nostalgic, bittersweet story there.

I must’ve been in a hurry though because sadly it’s full of grammatical errors but oh well. Nothing much to add a year later though, except that my Switch collection is growing steadily and it might end up being high up in my personal list of favorite systems when it’s all said and done, and PC finally had a few games again that made it worth my while.

I didn't play much on systems before the NES. I remember playing some Mario Bros and Pac-Man at a friend home who had the Atari 2600 the same year I got the NES. Also I remember the C64 with Lode Runner and Wonder Boy, played at another friend home, and the Game&Watch "Climber" played at school, it was such a fun portable game at the time! :)

So my new OLED-4K-TV is the perfect companion for my PS4 Pro, Xbox One X and PC, which can display on it games, movies and TV shows up to 4K, with HDR or Dolby Vision; PC games up to 120 Hz and with variable refresh rate. The PS5, Xbox Scarlett and Switch Pro can come, all is set up for them.

Thanks to a generous gift of my best friend (the Christopher Nolan Collection another a 4K-box with 4 movies) I already have over 25 UHD movies... okay, since we watch most movies together anyways, that gift was more symbiotic than altruistic. My Netflix subscription is upgraded to 4K content and Amazon Prime also has some nice 4K content.

Meanwhile my trusty old 3D-TV, which gave me and my buddies thousands of enjoyable hours of console gaming, hundreds of Blu-ray 3D movies and over 1000 Blu-ray movies, has found a new home in the bedroom. I still love the stereoscopic 3D effect, especially in animated movies. In its new place, that 3D-TV (which still has gorgeous picture quality) is the perfect companion for my Wii U, PS3, Steam Link, PS1 Classic, C64 Mini, Blu-ray player, HD-DVD player and Fire TV.

The Wii U can play my favorite VC-games (SNES + N64), Wii games and Wii U games. The freshly cleaned PS3 Fat lady is now a lot quieter and can play PS1, PS2 and PS3 games. The Steam Link is connected to my main PC, but gets rarely used. The PS1 Classic is modded with Autobleem/RetroArc and can play a lot more games than the included 20 PS1 games. And the C64 Mini is compatible to any C64 games thanks to the lastest firmware update.

After upgrading my PC, getting a new VR headset and sending back the Xbox Series X (disc drive was noisy), I'm trying to use a new form of visualisation.

The left side shows my computer upgrades (my last CPU and GPU aged much better than the older ones):

The right side shows when I got my other gaming related hardware (TVs & projectors, home consoles, handhelds, iPads, VR headsets...)

1998,1999 - First dad's PC (don't remember the specs)
