Oh man, I wish I still had any of my old consoles. Atari 2600 (woodgrain, super classy), Atari 7800, Genesis w/ 32X, PSOne. Would be fun for some old-school gaming. Emulators on the PC just aren't the same. Alas they were long ago lost to yard sales or my parents' donation to goodwill.
How's this for obscure consoles - my buddy across the street had a TubroGrafix 16. Not a lot of games available, but that thing was pretty sweet.
How about the Odyessey 2 by Magnavox. My grandparents decided that it would make a good Christmas gift one year for me and each of my cousins. We played the heck out of those things. We had most of the games made for it and the voice attachment to go with it. The fact that it wouldn't give up is what kept my parents for seeing my need for an Atari so I always had to play at a friends house if I wanted the more popular system.
Just a little PSA. If you are the host of a room, leave the lobby before going AFK. Don't leave everyone hanging while you take a leak, get some drink and pet the dog. Its bad form.
I have a Sega Genesis system still in the original box in my closet from back in the day. It came with Echo the Dolphin.
Not sure why I never used it but I still got it.
Seeing as you posted a pic of Duck Hunter I had to post this.
Last winter, out behind house, campfire, beer, jeep, long extension cord, nintendo, old tv and Duck Hunter. Sorry for the poor quality, but under the circumstances......

Anyone remember Time Crisis 3 on Playstation 2 with the light guns? I loved that, and House of the Dead 2 on Dreamcast. Beat the whole game in an afternoon trying to get all the secrets
I had the full stack. The Genesis, 32x and Sega CD. Played the Sega CD so much that the drawer broke and I ended up fashoning my own box for it so I could get CDs in and out. Played a lot of night trap and star wars rebel assault. Of all the old systems I had, I probably miss that combo the most. Though, I do miss colony wars and wing commander for the PlayStation.
HELL YES - Colony Wars: Vengeance was my jam, missed out on Sega CD, but did have a friend with one - played lots of Sewer Shark and Cliffhanger haha...

Pretty sure I played house of the dead at my cousins house on dreamcast. I also watched some guy put about £10 into it at the arcade. When he had finally died and left I stuck a pound in and continued from where he was. Worst use of a pound ever. Died straight away.
EDIT-
These were two games I played heavily. Not met anyone else that has even heard of them. Absolute classics. Music is wonderful as well.
This was the game that started my obsession. I bought a cheap wheel for it. The wheel had no FFB and was impossible to secure & make comfortable on a coffee table. I thought, "what's someone supposed to do, spend $300 on a FFB wheel then build an entire structure to simulate a natural sitting position?"
Oh more games are coming back to me! I loved the first Colin McRae Rally, played lots of Motocross Madness 2, and did anyone play Motor City Online? Was a great MMO racing game for the short time it was online!
