i go all the way back to the Spectrum 48k but my favorite memory was hammering Secret of Mana on the SNES over and over again during school lunch times.

Doctor.

Err, wait, that wasn't the question.

For dos, nothing beat Kommander Keen. DeGeneration was quite awesome as well. But I was playing a C=64 way before a PC, so it's gotta be the Olympic Games (and don't forget California Games) series, paradroid, and really, whatever I could get my hands on.

Technically my first home computer was a MC10 (tandy), and my first games console was a Telestar, but they almost don't count compared to the 64k fo the commie.

I played AstroSmash a lot as a teen at home. Super Mario Brothers in the arcade ate a lot of my time as well.

We had an N64 in my house. My parents wouldn't let me and my brother play with guns or play any shooting games, which is probably why we had an N64 instead of any other consoles.

When they would go out for the night, we would stay up late an play Jet Force Jemini. Man, I should download an emulator or something.

I was about 6 (1992) when my parents picked up a console from some local market. It was called the 'Pegasus Entertainment System' and we had one game cartridge that was something like 150 games in 1. Super Mario Bros, Battle City, Bomberman, Pooyan, Mappy, Excite Bike, Elevator Action, all that jazz. Back then we didn't even know any better, they were just referred to as 'TV games'. Only much later did I even find out about Nintendo or that our 'TV games' were chinese knock-offs, my parents didn't care about that shit so I only found out from friends who had magazines or something.

A few years later I got hold of a Sega MegaDrive II. There was a local video shop that you could hire (and sometimes swap) MegaDrive games from so luckily I got to play quite a few. My favourite games then were Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets Of Rage, Golden Axe, Light Crusader, Battletoads, Vectorman, Comix Zone (I partly credit this game for my taste in music today).

Nintendo prices have never been very third world friendly so it's never been too big here even to this day. Back then Sega had the lion's share of the console market and in later days it was Sony. Only got my first PC two years ago.

My first console was the N64. Played the hell out of Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, then Majora's Mask almost single-handedly fucked up my childhood...
