My first was a MegaDrive too.

That makes me more behind than young unfortunately.

Bloody thing, I think that's all we did for months - sat there and got stoned around the clock playing with that thing.

Ahhh Jetpac. I recall the level with the flying paper airplane things you could just sit on an upper ledge watching your score increase as they exploded into the ledge because they couldn't ever get you! Dodgy programming. Classic.

Chuckie Egg and Wriggler consumed way too many hours of my younger years.

Don't even get me started on Football Manager....

My first was a Binatone consol that only played Pong, when I was 12/13 my dad bought me the original wooden cased Atari with space invaders.

PCW 1512 as a Christmas gift from Alan Sugar

Had no idea what to do with it, so put my pocket money spending into Sage accounting and found a rather nifty horse racing games where the horses were the letter 'h' and ran across the screen.

Still got it in the attic, don’t think it works anymore :o)

This was my first console, followed by a ZX81 and Spectrum. Moved onto an Atari 800xl. Atari ST, PC, Nintendo 64, PS3 and now Nintendo Switch. Since my first PC that has probably been my main way to game.

I had the same, pitfall an pole position could keep me amused for hours. I remember some cousins having this early version of a console that we called the 'game machine'. It had a game which was a sorta like tennis that involved 2 short white lines (the bats) trying to return a moving white dot(the ball). In the late 70,s it was like watching the future
