Who did you lose your virginity to?

Started playing video games on a phillips g7000 machine then commodore 64.

First real games console was a mega drive.

[Nembot]

A Sinclair Spectrum 48k, the one with the rubber keys.

It was second hand and the colour chip was broken so it was in black and white.

Just like a typical 1st shag. There`s going to be sumat wrong with it but it`s fun none the less!

Some old console thing with two paddles. It was like a pong game but with bells and whistles.

First one I owned was a ZX81, with Flight Sim. Mostly wrote my own games though.

[HaHaUK]

Alex Kidd on Master System.

He was hard.

It was a hot summer, long ago, there was this girl barely older than me and she...was playing with Tiger Shark, one of the few coin-ops there.
Love at first sight, even if the second or third enemy shot me down.
Second time was at home, the same, during a cold winter...it was Christmas day and I got a NES action set (two controllers, Zapper, Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt)...I was only 6 years old, and right now I wish it was sooner.

Scramble by grandstand or one of the pong tv game things by binatone iirc?

[Shotski]

Sonic the hedgehog on the master system then i cheated on him with shinobi.

Oh Sir Clive got mine , the Spectrum was the machine that got me into gaming back in 1985/6 Before then I had no intrest in gaming (even though my brother had a Atari) and wanted to be a Rugby player , and thats all I cared about that all changed with the Spectrum

The 1st consoe I owned , well I my mum got , 2 in a closing down sale in Toms and that was the Phillps GX (somthing) and the Mattel Intellivision (great console btw) back in about 85 or 86 I think .

Master System 2. Came with Alex Kidd built in and a lightgun with a copy of Operation Wolf.
Even though I already had a C64 the MS games were so much better to play. The joypad was a revelation to me after using keys for so long.
R-Type, Bubble Bobble, Pacmania, Power Strike and the best version of Populous ever made were just some of the highlights.

Since then I have bought all of the Sega systems and I even bought a MS mk1 as well.

It's a shame Sega isn't making systems any more as they really did make some fantastic games.

Oh I remember that as well!

Can you remember harder please? What was it?

[Koert]

The first console I really bought myself was the xbox 360. My older brother used to buy all the other consoles and games (his first was a SNES I think), so I've never had to buy anything myself

Earliest memory was Hang-On on the Master System in the 80's.

One I can actually remember playing was Raindow Islands on a Japanese MegaDrive.

[JazzFunk]

I lost my computer cherry to the Acorn Electron, and my console cherry was stolen by the PC Engine.

Other than my brothers c64 and days of fun with Ghostbusters, or his atari and hours of fun with outlaw and pong........

My personal purchase into gaming was the game gear, not a home console but it was definatley te start of things to come. At the time it was all about the monochrome game boy, but i wanted the game gear because it had colour lol! Little did i know the damn thing ATE my 6 AA batts in a hour FFS!

But my first sega console and as such i kept loyal to the company and still do to some degree these days..........

Sigh........... im so glad i have a disposable income these days.......... those were tough times........ epecially when evryone else had a gameboy and you were left with playing and talking about it on yah own........ Bastards!
