Apple II (In a landfill)
Old PC (Pentium II, @ 233MHz ftw! Struggled with 8 players on StarCraft
) (In a landfill)
Classic-style NES (Still works, don't use it, use the superior top-loader)
Top-loading NES (Still works, still play stuff on it sometimes)
SNES (Kinda works, but the picture is scrambled, so basically it's broken. Still has Pilot Wings codes written all over it)
Genesis (Works, still play once in a blue moon)
32x Attachment for Genesis (lolz)
Grey brick GameBoy (Play Mario Land on it once in awhile)
GameBoy Pocket
GameBoy Color (Cyan, still play Pokemon Yellow on it when I'm feeling nostalgia)
Playstation (Works fine, but use PS2 to play its former games)
Nintendo 64 (With expansion pack thingy! 4-player Gauntlet ftw!)
PC (2 Xeons @ 3.1GHz)
GameBoy Advance (Works, no back-light makes me rage)
Game Cube (Lid sometimes won't close, 4th port is messed up, spotty.)
PlayStation 2 (Used this as my primary DVD player for a long time, and played games on it too, works perfectly, still play Rock Band on it)
XBox (Disc tray is messed up, still fire up Star Wars BattleFront with my brother from time to time)
Current sexy PC
PSP
Don't own any of the newest generation of consoles. Atm, I'm pretty much an exclusive PC gamer, with some PSP action on the go.

honourary mention 1: Sinclair Spectrum 48k, borrowed by parent over a school holiday.
honourary mention 2: BBC micros (various) at said parent's school when they had to go in during the hols and couldn't get childcare
honourary mention 3 & 4: RM Nimbus 186 and Acorn Archimedes at own school
all running various hokey games of various types, as well as some serious softs that may as well have been games, for the sheer novelty of e.g. typing in a story and having it come noisily out of an Epson LX80 in grey-and-white and a couple of silly, bitmappy fonts.
honourary mention 5: Teacher's Atari 800 that ran donkey kong and caused me to pester my folks for "an atari" at the height of their modest 16-bit powers.
honourary mention 6: IBM P/S-2 (30?) and a variety of other rubbish 386/486SX type machines at school, on which me and friends learned to make naff QBasic games and sort-of-demos. Or just load up Gorrilas and Snake (or Druglord). Then some other low-level stuff crammed onto floppy disk, the pinnacle being Linewars II, Corncob 3D and Space Shuttle Sim (and windows stuff like Rats, Jezzball, Skifree and the microsoft arcade). They did get better ones on which we played Carmageddon and GTA, but we all had decent PCs of our own by that point anyway.
Actual stuff...
Tomy Turnin' Turbo Dashboard. Yeah. I played the crap out of that.
Some kind of mini home pinball thing.
A variety of Tomy/etc handheld LCD games. Not game & watch, we we'rent that posh. The classic car racing thing, ghost hunter, hippo mouth ... eventually a Tiger version of Golden Axe...
One of those 3D games that you hold up to the light... we had the Tron-style one.
on to things with actual microprocessors, in some kind of order
Atari ST, eventually. Second hand. Taught us everything we needed to know about computing. A much maligned system in the face of the Amiga; OK, it was worse, but it just made the coders try harder. Plus, I got to try MIDI sequencing (eventually).
Game Gear
PC - 486/66 thru Athlon-600 shared; 286/12 thru Duron-1600/Pentium-M-1733 personal.
Game Boy Pocket
Master System, bought for a pittance off a schoolmate, with a stack of games.
Sinclair Spectrum 128k +2, left behind by someone I was running a "history of home computing" stand with, and didn't want it back. Broke down before I could find any tapes to load into it.
PSX, chipped, died
PSX, unchipped, still -almost- works (both had the classic "rotten CD drive" problem)
Mini Genesis + built in games thing
GBA
PS2
Almost everything above was either explicitly shared-property with my brother, or a hand me down from him after sharing at some point but the stuff being nominally his. The wierd thing is, he's younger than me...
Nowadays if I'm playing, it's likely to be on the Wii (at a friend's house, during a get together) or on my phone (Nokia N79), as I got a few Taito games from a free promotion. And a slightly buggy java version of Tetris.
