My brother had an Atari 2600, and my Dad had a Mattel
Intellivision.
First one that was mine was Vic 20 (Games of choice Jet Pac &
Myriad)
followed by :
Commodore 64 (Ghosts & Goblins / Bruce Lee)
Amiga 500 (was addicted to Sensible World of Soccer)
PC's for years with many upgrades which meant I missed out on
Sega / Nintendo consoles etc (Unreal Tournament + FIFA). Always
gamed on PC until I had PS3
XBox 1 (FIFA / Halo)
Wii (kids m/c but love Mario)
PS3 (FIFA / BLOPS etc)

My first computer was the Sharp MZ700. bet most of you have
never heard of that so here's a link for you all to chuckle at:

After this i went on to own a ZX Spectrum +2, an NES, and
evntually a Commodore Amiga 600. I am a diehard fan of the Amiga
and I think it will always hold a special place in my heart.

Maybe you can help me with mine mate-just bought one and can't
get it to display! :(

My first console I owned was a NES. I got WWF wrestlemania and
TMNT.
I did have a Commodore 64 and other various gaming computers but
I never really go into playing them that much.
I pretty much have most old consoles at my mum n dads house and
when I move house, I am going to build a retro room for them all
to be in :D

16k rubber keyboard speccy.
then a 48k+ spectrum.
Then a C64 (briefly, it died and got returned but Boots had
stopped selling them by then).
Then an Atari ST (Dungeon Master was and still is great!)
A NES (my brother won it in a competition)
Megadrive
SNES
Gameboy
Lynx
Playstation
Sega Saturn
NeoGeo Color Pocket
N64
Dreamcast
Playstation 2
Gamecube
Xbox
PSP
Xbox 360
Turbo Grafix 16
Lordy it looks bad seeing them all listed out. Everything from
the ST onwards I paid for myself out of holiday jobs etc. My dad
was keen we learned programming... we weren't ;)
Last 6 odd years gaming has significantly reduced though. Which
is a shame.

My Dad also had an Intellivision. We used to think it was
amazing. I can only remember the football game though ! I tried
to buy one off e bay a few months ago, but bailed out when the
price reached £200 !!!
