I miss feeling pride in having all the consoles (my dad worked at a retailer, had the hookups!). Even had a Jaguar and a 3DO.
Now, with how hard PS5s were to get, the lack of decent exclusives (excluding Nintendo lol) and the bullshit of hacking to pay for multiplayer, I've become almost entirely PC gamer. I can't even feel good about having one system, let alone all three big ones. :(
Usually 1st gen is stuff like pong (largely single-purpose systems, not general purpose), 2nd gen is pre-crash stuff like Atari and colecovision, 3rd is nes/sms, 4th is snes/genesis/tg16, 5th is ps1/n64/saturn, 6th is ps2/xbox/dreamcast, 7th is ps3/360/wii, 8th is ps4/xbone/wiiu, 9th is current gen ps5/xsx/switch. Obviously stuff like arcade, pc/microcomputer stuff, and handhelds blur the lines so it's not perfect but I believe Wikipedia follows this classification.
There are some real gems on the Sega Saturn. Last game I played on it before i unfortunately had to sell mine was Albert Odyssey which was a pretty decent jrpg with beautiful 2d art. Some great arcade style games were on it too.
One game stuck forever on the console is Panzer Dragoon Saga. It’s freaking incredible considering it’s age.
