procreate Posted September 5, 2015 Posted September 5, 2015 42 here. I started in arcades and pong on an old RCA tv. Then atari 2600 and Vic20. Also Apple II and IBMs on MS-DOS with green screens. Got a 2400baud modem to replace a 300 baud modem and thought it was blazing fast to the BBSs.
Gunzby Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 40 I started with Atari. The first time I played an online fps was Rogue Spear on pc which was an awesome game. When they came out with Black Thorn I quit gaming altogether as I didn't want to upgrade my computer every year. One day I went to visit someone and they were playing mw2 on the 360. The rest is history
bagsta69 Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 46, pong, Atari, spectrums, bbc model b (anyone remember the game Elite)? Mega drives , ps1,2,3 and now 4.

lefteris.lydios Posted September 6, 2015 Posted September 6, 2015 Grew up with Xain'd Sleena and Bubble Bobble. Suddenly In 2009 a friend showed me Killzone 2. It was a shock. Tip to younger gamers: Appreciate what you can enjoy.

Still play snes now, legend of zelda link to the past is such a fucking game! Chrono trigger too but I emulate that no way am I paying £300 for a dusty unboxed cart haha Now this game was solid haha! Got loads more boxed nes games laying around, always loved the artwork on the boxes more than the actual games as a kid haha? Strange
