Mine was the original gameboy - what can I say, I was a late bloomer.

[nips]

Nintendo Entertainment System... What a wonderful time!

[Firsty]

Sonic!
It was love at first sight . I loved slipping his smooth cartridge into my gaping slot. That bastard told me he loved me, but as soon as he got me up the duff he left! Now I hear he hoes on other systems to make ends meet. He has a **** pimp.

The Atari ST, i think the first game i played on it was goldrunner, a pretty good shooter. Those where days, i can still remember playing games like mouse trap, major motion, dragon ninja, kick off and double dragon.

[Smeghead]

Was that on the SMS Mk1 or 2?

I had a Mk1 in which there was a snail maze game which you unlocked when you held A+B and pressed U, R, D, L.

Ah yes I seem to remember that too, but mine definitly had a shooter. Any chance someone with a SMS can enlighten me on the shooter that was pre-built into the system?

The 2 games built in to the Mk1 were Safari Hunt which used the light phaser (and was great), and Hang on (the classic racing game).

The original batch of Master Systems had a Maze game, later ones had Hang on and Safari Hunt, though I think there were other games built in too.

Master System 2s generally had Sonic or Alex Kidd.

ZX Speccy wi rubber keys was my first toy! kept me goin right thru to early 90s, though I did get a NES in about 89. ?45 a game was a bit of a shock next to ?1.99 speccy games though.

My cherry was popped by Sir Clive Sinclair. Not the man himself, but his rubber-keyed monstrosity the ZX Spectrum 48k.

Since then I've been very promiscuous, pimping systems by Commodore (Amiga), Sega (MegaDrive and Dreamcast), Nintendo (N64 and GC to come), and Sony (PS1 and erm... what's the other called?)

the turtles game commercial made me want it

who would have known how expensive that commercial would cost me

[Ginger Tosser]

1st console was a crappy Tandy video games system, although the motor bike was fun

1st computer ZX81

1st real console Super Famicom

[markftmuk2]

Master System II for me too, me and a mate spent hours on sonic and asterix, although i never got to play many other top master system titles at the time due to parents only buying the bargain bin games from makro. I remember lusting over sonic 2 and sonic chaos but never got them unitl this year.

[killy]

ZX Spectrum 128k - I was young and vulnerable but we had fun.

[lordcookie]

Well it appears that the Master System was most peoples first console, so what was eveyones favourite game on it?

Sonic was mine. In fact the SMS version of Sonic was even better than the MD version with much better levels.

[Papercut]

First big console for me was a Super Famicom. I had been interested in the PC Engine, but had an Amiga at the time.

First big gaming anything for me was the Commodore 64, which I still think was one of the greatest machines. Shame we didn't have as high quality arcade ports for it as the Japanese did for the MSX, but original titles more than made up for that.

I also had an Atari 2600, which provided a lot of joy over the years. There are few 2 player games as good as Combat...

Honorable mentions should also go to the Atari 800 XL which was and still is very underrated, and the Master System which I lusted after on release and got hold of some time later.

I had a good mix of machines from a young age, and started picking up second hand stuff I didn't have very early on for peanuts.

Since the death of the Amiga, I haven't really followed any one manufacturer.

RE: Master System built in games - there were several versions with different games. Later ones had Sonic 1 built in, some had Alex Kid, some had the maze game, and some had Hang On.
