tell everyone a little about your gaming history.
my gaming started when i was about 3, my dad had an Atari 2600 and i think me and my sister used to play but but i can't remember. my true gaming started when i was about 5, playing Pong on my cousin's Pong Console (around 1986).
then my cousin got a ZX Specturm +2 (the one with the tape deck buit in) for christmas 1987, i used to sleep over at his alot and we used to constantly play the Specturm, especially games like Dizzy and Auf Wiedersehen Monty, those were my faves.
November 1991, my dad bought a Megadrive with Sonic 1 and Castle of Illusion, the first time me and my sister played Sonic 1 we were blown away, after that my dad went on to buy around a total of 52 Megadrive games lol, he used to buy maybe one a month since he was in the Royal Marines. We had even more games in the house than that once i got my own Megadrive II for christmas 1994.
eventually i got a PS1 for christmas 1997 and have had Playstations ever since, favourite games ove the years have been the Final Fantasys, GTAs, Hitman Series, Tomb Raider Series, Metal Gear Solid Series, and many many other great games.
currently have a 160GB slim PS3 (the brand new K Chassis model) and a DS Lite, as well as my retro consoles - PS1, PS2, GBA SP, Sega Saturn and Sega Dreamcast.
