    PS1 was the first I actually owned, though my best friend had a Megadrive that I played all the time.

    Those were my first CONSOLE gaming experiences... before any of those, I was gaming first on one of these:



    Then this beauty, which will remain my favourite... forever...



    AND THEN I ventured into PC gaming on one of these gorgeous creatures! (a 486/DX66, 4mb RAM, 320MB hard drive... what a beast)



    I believe it's still kicking around at my mum's house somewhere actually . Ahh memories... XCOM, the original Civilisation, old Sierra point 'n' click adventures... magic. Gaming just isn't what it used to be, tbh.

    I had an old Atari which had games on cassette tapes that took a good hour to load.

    I had a NES. Loved it. In fact, I still have it in a drawer in my room with about 5 game cartridges. I might have to dig it out.
