Where did you start gaming?

I started with the SNES playing games such as Super Mario World, Mario Kart. Then moved onto the Playstation, I remember when I got it from my Uncle with over 100 games it was the best day ever for me when I was younger! I played all sorts of games there mainly Tomb Raider, Rayman, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro.

Amstrad CPC6128 which I begged my parents to buy after enjoying playing a game called Cat's Cradle (I believe) on the school PC. Loved it, played it to death. Had Dizzy, Roland in Time, Chuckie Egg and also typed in the pages and pages of code for Arkanoid (remember when you'd finished an epic amount of code and then got 'syntax error'? ARGH). Man, I loved those games.

Wanted a console badly when they came out but we couldn't afford it. One day my Grandad bought us a Sega Megadrive and I cried my eyes out, lol. Sister and I played the Sonics a lot, Super Hang-on, World Cup Italia 90, and Columns (last 3 came on a triple cartridge thing). Then games like Castle of Illusion, Echo, Streets of Rage and Cool Spot.

Moved on through Nintendo Gameboy, Playstation 1, Playstation 2, Nintendo DS, Wii and now mostly game on the PC and PS3.

Still miss some of the old games though. Should really look them up and see if I can get an emulator!

Commodore 64 for me too, think I've been through every piece of hardware since then, exception being the N64 which I never bothered with.

Wayyyyyyy back on my old DOS machine playing text games - ah, the good old days!

Too many people take gaming just to mean consoles, when it's much, much more. Don't get me wrong - I love my xbox, ps3, wii, N64 and megadrive that are all plugged into the TV right now - but there's nothing like a mouse and WASD.

My first console was the Atari 2600. Came with Yars revenge & Pac Man Jnr! Then moved on to a C64 which came with the Dizzy collection! I remember spending ages typing in line after line of code just to make myself invincible on Treasure Island Dizzy!
