1991 - Master System (the first one) with 30+ games given to me as a birthday present from my parents. They bought it off my cousin as he wanted other things and had a Mega Drive to his liking. I was 5. Me and my Dad loved playign Rastan throughout the years and one day we completed it. Hurrah!
1993 - My sister got a Amiga 600 but we shared it. I was happy with my Master System still.
1995 - This years birthday saw me wanting a top of the range 'CD' console. I had the choice of a Saturn, Playstation or Amiga CD 32. I chose the later and within weeks the console was dead. It cost £300 quid as well and I used my Master System alot still even though this console was suppose to be it's successor.
1997 - I now had a better brain being older and all and so got a Nintendo 64. I remember sitting playing Mario 64, the only game I had for a few months while I waited for Lylatwars. Later in the year my family bought our first PC which was a beast of a machine. My little sister uses it now while I use the newer PC. I remember playing Championship Manager alot and being amazed by how realistic the graphics were on some Helicopter Sim.
1999 - I get myself a Gameboy Colour along with Pokemon.
2000 - I buy a Dreamcast after endless go's of Crazy Taxi in the arcade. Soul Calibur was the last straw...I just ran to that shop.
2001 - I import a Gameboy Advance.
2002 - I buy a Playstation 2 after Grand Theft Auto 3 was released and also a Gamecube as it was the console I told myself to buy before buying the DC and the PS2. Hmmmm
Yes anyway.. My life in gaming.. *thinks*
Started off being me a this.. Home Computer which only did programming. i somehow learnt that C:/ Was something Different to A:/... Cool eh?
Then Came along Windows 93 was it? Changed everything. They way we did stuff on a computer e.g. type without Programming. (thank you Bill gates)!!
Anyway, Then i upgraded too Windows 98, By then i had a few games that at the time seemed impossible, but now far too simple. :) Then i got my Nintendo 64, My first ever conolse it was believe it or not :p I a brilliant time with Nintendo 64.. Blah Blah... Had bought around 30 games in total in the end and never forget it :'(
Then my little brother got a Dreamcast, Found some of the greatest games ever on that :D (Phantasy Star Online, Shemue etc.) And Also got the PSone... had a few crappy games with that, Never got to buy any of the Good titles in the end. PS2 Came along... I love it, Great Games. Really!
Windows 98... broke down... Had to wait for a new computer for a year. You During that time i haddn't really played any games at all. I went out to play Football unstop. Got Windows Xp with a new PC and Warcraft 3 + Qauke 3 :D Great 2 games trust me! Last of all. The Gamecube.
I've only had 4-5 games on it so far and loving it. Thats right. "I'm lovin' it lovin' it lovin" alot :D (Sorry)
