The Virtual Boy was pretty awful. It was so heavy that it had to sit on a table, and it was a major pain in the neck (literally) to play. The graphics were all shades of red. IIRC my brother and I only bought two games: Mario Tennis and Red Alarm.
NES, Dreamcast, N64, wiiu, xbone, 360, ps3, 3DS, and Saturn (although the only game I own and want to own for the SegaCD is Vay...i ended up rebuying it for that game). I emulate snes though and have a decent library of ps1 games on my ps3
Edit: Messed up

My parents were fervently anti-video game when I was growing up. Mostly because of economic reasons.
But, here I go:
IBM PC (text based Hobbit game!)
Apple IIgs
NES
Sega Genesis
Doom/Wolfenstein 3D era Win 3.1 PC
MOHAA/BF1942 era Windows ME/XP PC
BF2 and its various mods era Win XP PC - my first self-built computer!
BF3 era Win XP/Win 7 PC
Wii
BF4-era self built Win 8.1 PC
PS4
The funniest thing about my mother being anti-video game is going to family gatherings and having her 38 and 41 year old sons sit around and talk endlessly about video games.
That's funny, dg. When I sold my modded Xbox, it was to a 40-something year old that really wanted to play apple II gs games and I lpaded them on it for him before he picked it up. We played for like an hour, him showing me stuff because I had never played it. He said he played it in college and was feeling nostalgic. Dude was cheesing hard when it loaded up.
I had a rather large collection of hand me down PC games that to this day were some of my favorite titles across any platform. The Sierra network golden age (Gabriel knight series, kings quest, leisure suit Larry, etc), phantasmagoria, black dahlia, and so on. Just the best.
I remember Ultima IV on the Apple II - it was like 2-3 5.25" floppies, and you had to swap them out/flip them over constantly! Great game though. Rescue Raiders, Captain Goodnight, Autoduel, and a great hockey game that had real player names but fake teams...can't think of the name.
There was a huge amount of piracy with these games. Those of us with a second floppy drive could copy "cracked" games fairly easily. Those old Apple II's didn't have the RAM to store a game file, so it had to be a direct copy. Even a lot of the Apple II ROMs out now have the "Cracked by...so and so" on it. I was on the Internet Archive's archive of video games, and one of the Atari browser emulator had a cracked game on it...yikes.
