I've been playing video games since the Atari 2600. That might give you an idea of how old I am. Are there any other gamers over 30 playing this game?

Well back in my day, you had to be pretty well off to have them there game systems. I always had to go out and play with rocks lol yes I am a little bit of the older grumpy man variety but I can get the job done 🙂 and not afraid to say it. I will be busting 50 in May and I play every day.

Oh man. I spent many a day playing Donkey Kong Junior, Dig Dug, Mouse Trap and Popeye on the Colecovision. I think I had ever gaming console at some point except for the exotic ones like the Famicon, Jaguar and Dreamcast. I guess the Dreamcast wasn't that exotic.

What I remember most about the Genesis was Rocky. That game was hard as hell. The only way I could beat Drago was getting a split decision. I would knock him down then stay away from him the rest of the match until the final round. I never had C64 but always wanted one. The closest I had was an Apple2E which was kind of a * machine. The games I had were lame. Wheel of Fortune and Oregon Trail I think. OT was fun. In High School I played a lot of SNES. I liked games so much when the Sony Playstation first came out I bought it and called in sick to work to play it. haha

Well, my first console was a 2600 but the first one I played was my friend's Coleco. Then before my PS4, the last one I owned was a Sega CD. Yup. You youngsters can look that up, it was one of the stupidest consoles ever made - essentially a portable Genesis (or was it Dreamcast?) that could...wait for it...play CD's! It was greatly useful to me though, as I was on a tour in a new hotel room every night, so it served as both game console and stereo.

I had a zx81 and zx spectrum (any older Brits out there will know what I'm talking about.) Still remember spending hours punching in coding from mags dedicated to those consoles. My zx81 had a massive 16k expansion pack. i was always jealous of my next door neighbor cos they had the c64.Skipped a few years of gaming before being reintroduced to it through the Sega genesis and have owned every mainstream console since.

The only two games I can remember playing on the spectrum were hungry Horace (which was a very poor clone of pacman) and frogger, although I'm sure I had a lot more games than that.
I had a pretty extensive library for the zx81, as I had a friend who worked in the Sinclair factory at the time and was able to bring me all the game cassettes available.
