Ok here's my history


A cartridge console with a great motorbike jump over buses game. Well it seemed great when I was a boy

Sinclair ZX81
Commodore 64
Atari 520ST
Nes
Super Nintendo
Sega Megadrive
Nintendo 64
Nintendo Gamecube
Nintendo Wii
Playstation 1
Gameboy

I still have these

My old PC gaming rig
Playstation 3
Sega Gamegear
2 x PSPs
DS
Atari Lynx

Although I've owned all the above I've done most of my gaming on PC's. I still consider consoles to be a bit of a compromise

In reply to a post by time2die:

Personally I think this will be the last generation consoles I will buy,my patience is wearing thin and very few games get me excited and personally I think that we in some cases are going backward and not forward ....

You know that won't happen mate, you will have every platform next gen also

Well the first gaming machine I had as far as I can remember was the NES, remember the games being extremely annoying. Things are much better these days lol. Also had a master system, PS1, PC, PS3.

Also acquired a Dragon computer and Atari ST at some point but never did much with them, not even sure if they worked properly.

PC was my platform during my main gaming years.

Getting to old Trance to be honest .

You did much better than me mate, I just rode the "plank with a nail" wave for a game or two.

i started with pong .

I think the thing to do is be more selective with games, wait for the reviews and just pick up the best ones.

Yeah Ping Pong and where you be hiding ?

Atari 2600 ?

space invaders on the first BBC B computer (wow, that takes me back), had everything since, bar Atari (had the Commodores instead).
