I had curated perfect-to-me PS1 and PS2 game collections, and had the later, smaller versions of both systems. Both whole collections fit in a bread box, but I gave both away to save space. I cannot believe how much I regret that.
I have the same regret, I gave my N64 to a family friend in the late 90s. However, I later bouught a replacement N64 with two new-in-box gold controllers so I can still get my GoldenEye fix.
Not retro, but I sold my Nintendo DS, and copy of Platinum and Heart Gold for like $30 in high school. Probably got McDonald’s with the money. I regret it so much.
I’ve been feeling this lately as well. I’ll see people post pictures of display cases filled with all their consoles and it makes me regret giving away my old consoles when I bought a new one.
My GameBoy Pocket, which I sold to get a GameBoy Color, which I sold to get a GameBoy Advance.
I do still have my GameBoy Advance, and I've upgraded it with an IPS screen and USBC rechargable battery. I just wish I had kept all my other handhelds so I could upgrade those too.
My mom made me sell my ps2 (with a ton of games, even with the buzz controllers, microphones, etc.) for 20 bucks. I die inside every time I remember this lol.
She also made me sell my PSP because I “didn’t play” with it. Important thing to say: my parents refused to buy me new games, I only had a few and once I completed them I stopped playing…
I regret getting rid of my Wii, only because that’s the one I’m missing to complete my Nintendo home console collection. I had initially sold it because the Wii U played Wii games, but it would be nice to have it back for a complete set.
I have never sold a console. I have frustratingly lost a few handhelds, which sucks.
I slightly regret not keeping a large CRT, but honestly those things are stupidly heavy and made of glass. I did score some small CRTs at flea markets awhile back, which is more than enough for the novelty.
I still have a bunch of my original consoles: NES, Genesis, Dreamcast. The only I don’t still have are my PS1 (original, not the tiny One), N64, and Gamecube. PS upgraded to a PS2, and to be honest I never really played the N64 much. But the GC just kind of fell by the wayside and got lost. It had such amazingly unique games, but just was overlooked (even by me at the time) because it just didn’t match up graphically and didn’t really have the 1st or 3rd party support it needed.
