This is a pretty common behaviour. My dad has been buying both his dream Amigas and his dream car, a Triumph TR6. I bought my dream childhood console, a Gameboy Advance SP (I only had a regular Gameboy Advance).

- erinnh 1y agoCannot confirm. I often look fondly at the hardware I have. I recently build one pc for each PC generation of the 90s. (486,Pentium 1-2,Athlon) Still love them even after having built them. Finding back into DOS is quite interesting, since its so different to PCs today.
- ferguess_k 1y agoI also bought a few consoles (GB, NES, N64, PS2) that I was never allowed to own/play, except for NES which I didn't own but did play due to its popularity. My parents were pretty strict with my studies and piano practices so I didn't even have much time with TV, and games were considered as not only wasteful, but also evil. The thing is, I never played those consoles after purchasing them. I don't have any nostalgic feelings towards except for NES. I actually felt sorry for myself because I discovered my inner kid died a long time ago when I tried to wake him up. I'll probably give them to a friend's kid if he so wish, or donate to some local museums.
