My brother and I started on an NES. I remember us playing the crap out of Rampage and the TMNT game. We had the gun and the pad as well. Stupid duck hunt dog…
Thenwe actually rented an SNES from the local rental place. That lasted maybe a year until our parents bought us one to own.
From there we got into computers. Our first was a 486 dx2. I don’t remember much about it but they got it from a rent to own place. My brother was deleting stuff to clear up space and killed an important file it needed to boot into windows. I used to know but time is a bitch. Anyway we played games like Doom, Hexen, Warcraft on it. I will never forget playing multiplayer with a friend and having to dial them on the game. We’d always tell our parents not to pick up the phone, but they’d always answer to the screeching sounds or pick up in the middle of a game.
Next was N64, Playstation, PS2 with some gameboys in the mix.
Now I’m almost exclusively a PC gamer. I have a PS3 and a wiiu but they never get much use. I do have a Retropie built and it’s a lot of fun.
