Rick Dangerous Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 What are some of your go to summer systems or systems you particularly associate with the season? For me its: -NES -N64 -Dreamcast -2600 What have you played heavily during the warmer months? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andromeda Stardust Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 For some unkown reason, I tend to play more Atari in the summer, more NES in the winter. No idea why. FYI I live in the deep south so we have brutal hot humid summers, and mild winters, so I'd say I get out most in the spring/fall and spend about as much time indoors in the summer as I do winter.

SiLic0ne t0aD Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 My system selection doesn't really change much, season wise.. It's more like whatever I'm in the mood for at the particular time: ColecoVision, Intellivision, Vectrex, NES, Dreamcast, N64, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skippy B. Coyote Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) I've definitely noticed that my gaming interests change with the seasons. In the fall I always play a lot of Game Boy / Color games, over the winter and spring I usually get really into Atari systems, and every spring and summer like clockwork I get totally enamored with the original Nintendo Wii. I never seem to want to play the Wii very much the rest of the year, but time and again it's almost all I want to play during the warmer months. I also always find myself getting interested in playing modern Nintendo systems again around this time of year, primarily due to all the new Nintendo games being shown off at E3. For better or worse though I rarely ever have the money to buy a modern system so most years the interest never leads to buying and playing Nintendo's latest and greatest things.

Atarian7 Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 All I have is 3 2600's. I don't know if I play more in the summer or winter. I have the money to buy other systems but I just haven't been interested yet. I have so many VCS games, that I could spend the rest of my life trying to play all of them.

Flojomojo Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 I'm planning on spending time with Nintendo (all eras) and MMORPGs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Counting since the second half of July 2013, the one system I've played every summer (limited to June - July, which is what I consider to be summer) is the VIC-20 but then again I play that any time of the year. The one system that I almost only play in the summer is the Acorn Electron, with six sessions in four years of which four happened during the summer season. I tend to try to cycle all systems so none that sticks out in either direction. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassGuitari Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 I've noticed myself having a heightened interest in Atari Pong the last few summers, but Odyssey 2, NES, Atari VCS, Atari 5200, 3DO, PS1, and N64 have been others. Maybe Game Boy Color as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TPA5 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I play a lot more DS/Gameboy/Gameboy Colour in summer. Mostly because I love to go camping, and after a day of hiking/exploring it's nice to enjoy a fire, then crash in the trailer and play some games before bed.

I'm the complete opposite. Summertime and swimming went hand and hand with NES games. Once winter came around the Atari became more appealing. P.S. I'm freezing in the Mississippi deep south's winter 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eltigro Posted June 21, 2017 Share Posted June 21, 2017 I've never noticed a difference other than, when I was a kid, I would play more overall in the Summer simply because I was out of school. Once I started working, though, it all kinda evened out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omegadot Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Lately my favorite summer consoles are my lawn mower, power washer and masonry stuff. Hopefully I can spend some time with a controller soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 The original NES is the greatest summertime system of all-time imo. Some of my best summer memories are the ones playing NES during very hot days. The music from many NES games are also awesome to hear during the summertime as well. Super NES is another good summer system. If only the TI-994/A didn't heat up so bad. I'm playing tons of NeoGeo, 5200 and SMS games this summer too. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinroh Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) I don't have like a lot of time to play much of anything. T_T Though I do enjoy watching the curtains hanging in the window in the evening on a Friday night with the N64.

gamecat80 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Usually, NES. That's what I'm playing now. Was playing the ColecoVision in spring. I tend to play more video games in the spring & summer months. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GameGirl420 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 Come to think also,the Sega Genesis is also a very good summer system. A good sweaty game of Golden Axe in the summer heat really rules. Then eat a good bowl of Cap'n Crunch in icy cold milk afterwards for a reward/munchie after you beat the game! lolz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
