But the video game magazines would come with pages and pages of code for you to type in to play a game... so I'd use that.

10 print "ASSFACE"
20 goto 10

Good times... :cool:

I cut my teeth on the Amiga as a child, setting me up for feeling smug and superior to the console kids for decades to come.

RandolphEsq · 24-12-2008 02:08PM

SNES was my console for about 5 years before I got a PS1.

Absolutely loved Mario All Stars, World Cup 94, Super Metroid, Donkey Kong and Super Smash Bros. Still have them all upstairs with the console!

That Super Metroid music, fantastic!

"I'm a PC"

Sad but true...Got to experience consoles at friends houses but my first experience of owning one was a PS2 (when it was about to be made obsolete by the PS3

)

Ruu_Old · 24-12-2008 02:19PM

Sega Master System II->Sega Megadrive (we had to rent one from the video shop for a while). /me wanders off to play World Cup Italia '90.

Sega Master System

30txsbzmcu2k9w · 24-12-2008 02:27PM

Atari 2600
32 games on one cartridge? awesome stuff.

Then a Mega Drive which will forever be the greatest console IMO. None of this 'save game' sh1t, boss man at the end of the level, eating cooked chickens off the ground for power ups...ah good times indeed

JC 2K3 · 24-12-2008 02:29PM

Sega Megadrive -> Playstation -> Dreamcast -> Xbox -> I don't really game anymore.

Dreamcast being the best console of them all. Now if they would just finish Shenmue 3...

nyarlothothep · 24-12-2008 02:30PM

Complete sega head here, xmas 94 was the 32x, wow, it was so amazing. I played Doom and was totally freaked out by it, two months later in February I got virtua racing deluxe, what an awesome game. Then in 96 it was the Sega Saturn, virtua cop completely blew me away, for the whole year I rented out such classics as Shinobi X, replete with oscar winning fmv scenes, worms, aliens, command and conquer, sega rally championship, nights, and quake which was terrifying and brown. I still have the saturn and occasionally play it.

Tarzan_man · 24-12-2008 02:33PM

Megadrive -> N64 -> PS1 -> Xbox

Loved sonic on the megadriven and banjo kazooie and zelda on N64. Abes oddesy on PS1 and few racing games and finally Halo on the Xbox. Love all those games to this day

Actually i've just promoted the Dreamcast to best console now

Shenmue was just incredible.

WoollyRedHat · 24-12-2008 02:38PM

I had a box as my first console, it wasn't amazing, but it was mine and it had loads of colours on it so...

Valmont · 24-12-2008 02:39PM

Between my console and my friend's ones, we were all raised on a healthy mix of the Sega mega drive and the SNES. We had epic Street Fighter and Star Fox battles on the SNES and on the mega drive, it was long, long games of Streets of Rage and Golden Axe.

cherryghost · 24-12-2008 02:41PM

gameboy and mega drive

BaRcOe · 24-12-2008 02:43PM

NES All the way and I agree with OP 100%, LOVED them mario games, the whistle, the running to fly, the castle with the walls dropping every few seconds near the end be4 d boss, princess, trying to match 3 of d slides to make a picture..etc
Dam gud times!

I got these games on the wii, it just aint the same, rooting around for the big cartridges, giving it a blow as to make sure it will work and then slapping it in while flapping down d flap.:D

Oswald Osbourne · 24-12-2008 02:49PM

This thread is getting very thick with nostalgia! I love it!:D

The Sega Megadrive was all the rage when I was a kid. Street Fighter had half my school hooked. We could sit there all day having 2 player battles. I still remember all the special moves - Ryu's hadoken, Blanka's electricity, Chun-Li's lightening kick, Dhalsim's yoga fire etc .... :cool:

And of course all the Sonic games held a special place in our hearts. Anyone remember the Sonic and Knuckles cartridge where you would insert another game into it to unlock special features or whatever??

I'm kinda dissappointed that I missed out on all the Final Fantasy games because I didn't have a SNES but thankfully they were re-released on the PSone which kinda compensated for my lost childhood

BaRcOe · 24-12-2008 02:56PM

The Sega was also brill, although I never had one, I wud always play in a friends, I always looked forward to a gud game of streets of rage and theres a game i cant remember the name of.

Can any1 recall playing the Helicopter game for Sega, where ya go around blowin stuff up and collecting/dropping things. Was kinda like Soviet strike for the playstation except for....well the SEgaaaaaaaaa

gline · 24-12-2008 02:57PM

first would have been an amstrad - burning rubber :P
then C64>NES>Megadrive>SNES>N64>Dreamcast>PS1>PS2>GC>Xbox>PS3>Xbox360
In that order

mostly played in mates houses, n64 was first console i owned

Started off on the SuperNintendo when I was about 3 or 4 then moved up to the PC. Didn't get a Playstation til a lot later then everyone else, it was about 2001. Same with the PS2, it was about 2004 when I finally got it.

I won't be getting any new ones for a while. I'm too broke and I'm not too bothered about better graphics, etc.
