One of the first games I remember playing is LOZ on NES. The game was actually a few years old (it belonged to my cousin originally) and I remember having to blow on it in order to get it to work. *sighs* the good old days.

As a kid I was bought a Amiga and played Space Invaders and Pong on that, and then I was given a ZX Spectrum most likely bought from a Car Boot sale. I would play with it for hours, typing in the code input bit or playing the tape games.

At my fathers house he had a NES, which I would also play for hours on end, Mario etc

And then he got a Playstation and so I played games on that too.

At my moms house I also had a playstation which I played, platform games on quite alot. And later on when my cousin who is alot older than me had FFVII I played that and then got hooked even if it was hard and I didn't understand what I should be doing early on. And the rest is history, I bought a PS2 around six years ago when I was seventeen and then a PS3 many years later.

That pretty much sums my gaming life up : D

Lots of Crash Bandicoot, Spyro etc and then moving onto more adult games as I grew up. Though I have an origonal Grand Theft Auto in it's box somewhere : D

When i went over to my friends house (sabinos) he brought out some multiplayer games for ps2 and I was addicted to computer games instantly, and from there i become a worse addict than him.

My babysitter's son gave me a Gameboy Pocket, and it was through his efforts that I have gotten more into gaming. He played a lot of Pokemon with me, and introduced me to the N64.

I'm pretty sure this is abusing the signature space

My dad bought Atari 2600 and we just LOVED that thing to death. I had gotten my hand caught in a car door and had a huge ice pack on it and still had to play Atari right when I got home.

You guys are so much cooler than I, my parents didn't really let us (my younger brother and I) play many video games. They bought us a PS2 right when it came out and we had, crazy taxi, and a few car racing games. We weren't allowed to play 'violent' games. (hence the reason I didn't get to play KH until 2009; I still had to talk them into it...). I was not a gamer growing up, I'd play the few games we had for our PS2, and I'd play Donkey Kong on my brother's Gameboy Advance. Yea, lame I know.

My whole life I've been playing games. My mum had a PSOne when I was little and me and my little bro played games like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro and those demo disks with tons of demos on them. Our collection for the PSOnes was little to no games at all. If I knew one of my friends had a Nintendo 64, I would beg mum to go to their house because of the different experience. When the PS2 came out, my dad got mum it for her birthday. Since then our PS2 collection got massive from more games like Crash and Spyro (again) to God of War, Singstar, Buzz (I think we had all the add-ons for the PS2), Kingdom Heart and now that I'm into FF; X, X-2, XII and DoC FFVII. My progression into hardcore gaming began 2-3 years after KHII came out and I almost completely forgot about it when I wondered "When the hell is KHIII coming out?" So I went to the KH Wikia to find out what the hell happened in my absence. Turned out there were two games that I missed (CoM and 358/2) and another one on the way (BbS). So after I caught up with KH, I decided to find out why FF was so great. So then I found FF Union and FF Wikia and slowly caught up to the franchise and that lead me to GUN. Meanwhile I decided to see what everyone played so I found IGN and found out some really epic games. That all I got to say about that.

I started out with an Atari 2600, playing the various games of one giant block doing something with other giant blocks.
My family was a big Nintendo fan growing up, so we later had an NES, SNES, and an N64. I played everything from Mario to Goldeneye.
I had an original Gameboy, a Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Color, and a Gameboy Advance. Most of my Gameboy games were Pokemon related, but there were a few random games in between.

After all that, we bought our first non-Nintendo system, a PSone. We traveled a lot, so we got the slimmed down version with the LCD screen, which was great for the car. I can't remember anything good I ever played on the PSone Tongue.
In 2002, I saved up all of my allowance and birthday money and bought a Playstation 2. I mostly played games like Red Faction, but two years later, I finally played my first RPG, Kingdom Hearts.
In 2006, I bought an original 60 GB Playstation 3. And yes, I paid the whopping $600 for my PS3. History is still being made with my PS3, which has lasted a solid five years now without any work being done on it, and I'm hoping it lasts another two years.
