Right. Here are a few questions for you all.

1. What is the first console that you or your family owned?

2. What is your earliest memory or a game that you played that you owned?

3. What was the most recent game you played?

Here are my answers

1. NES Mine!!!

2. getting stuck on the final level of Super Mario Bros on the NES and phoning the Nintendo help line. Yes it is sad isn't it.

3. I played a game of Perfect dark a few minutes ago against simulants.

What are your answers??? This could be quite interesting!

My first console, if you can call it that was the Spectrum 48K. Me and my brother had to share it, and had to club together to get the games. I remember buying Daley Thompson's decathalon for £8 pounds, and playing for the rest of the summer holidays.

I'm in the process of playing GT3 on my PS2.

1)playstation (or amiga if that counts as a console)
2)the stunning TOKI on the amiga ( ZOOL might have been before TOKI now i think about it)
3)the glorious MAX PAYNE.

you really can't beat a good amiga, it just makes such a good sound when it's blazing away with it's stunning graphics engines and super fast processor (intense hint of sarcasm included)
