[QUOTE="UKS, post: 541359, member: 10841"] My father was in the industry of computing from the early personal computer days of the late seventies. We had: Commodore Pet Some (lots!) of those early TV Pong multigames. Apple II BBC B BBC Master ZX81 ZX Spectrum+ (mine) 40 X Dragon. (They were cheap) PC's from the 8086 onwards till his passing in 2013. My older bro and I used these for gaming (him more than me - I watched!) I played all the devices that were around at the time. Atari VCS/2600, Atari ST, Amiga, Amstrad, Commodore 64, Master System, NES, Gameboy, And then when I got a little older, I swapped onto: Megadrive SNES Playstation Playstation 2. Then kind of "grew out of it" (girls and drink) I did buy a GBA and got given a PS handheld thing by work - as I travelled a lot. THEN I met my future wife and the next weekend bought myself a Xbox 360. I did enjoy playing that. Dead Rising and Oblivion were the last two games I completed. Then I moved in with my now wife and all gaming stopped. Permanently. :-( That was over ten years ago now. UKS [/QUOTE]
