In my case, the OG Xbox. The first console I got, so definitely nostalgia tinted feeling. Fable, Dead or Alive and Star Wars Jedi Outcast are probably my most played games on that platform.

    I have a Wii (hacked, old enough model to have GC ports) that I keep out.

    I picked it up used and cheap with a sack of assorted accessories like 5 years ago because fussing with controllers in Dolphin was kind of a pain, and I had a lot of GC and Wii games I was interested in.

    A Wii with Homebrew channel and loaders, with a USB drive full of disc images hanging out the back is very pick-up-and-play for GameCube and Wii.

    I’m using it less lately because I’ve played through many of the things I was eager to try (and I’ve been too busy), but it’s still a nice object.

    I do have a modded OG Xbox (also bought used but closer to its time of relevance) that spent it’s early life in my possession being an XBMC media player for the household more than being used for games, and a wide array of even older computers (Amigas, 68k and PPC Macs, older PCs, some workstations that aren’t so relevant to gaming, etc.) stored away, but usually do that sort of thing under emulation rather than hauling the machines out unless I have a specific reason.

    Lately it’s mostly been 16-bit era and GBA games on an Anbernic RG351p that I can truly pick up and put down instantly, anywhere. Waiting rooms? Compiles? Sitting through some event a niece or nephew is in? Perfect idle.
