I must have been about 4. Great games included Ms PacMan, Combat and Raiders of the Lost Ark. A few years passed and I got my first computer. An Acorn Electron. The best games were by "Superior Software" such as Citadel and the Repton series. Then there was the text based adventures!
Next for me was a Sega Master System (with Light Phaser), The Alex Kidd games were cool, Phantasy Star is a classic.
I then upgraded to a megadrive and had a ton of platform games. I bought a NES on the stength of Mario3, then discovered the amazing Maniac Mansion.
So eventually I bought a SNES which was great and I still play from time to time, Chrono Trigger being the best game I've got, though long hours have been spent on Kevin Keegan Player Manager!
Now I have an N64 and I still think it's great, Mario64 was a real eye-opener to what the machine could do, and Goldeneye is fantastic. Unfortunately lacking in RPG's except Zelda.
So that's my console history...
