I got into video games with an atari 2600 at about age 9 or 10. I wasn't allowed to go out much so spent most of my childhood playing Asteroids and Enduro racer to stay entertained.
Then when I was 12 I was given the original 8-bit gameboy which I was practically glued to. My favorite games were Supermarioland, Tetris and an obscure Jap game called "Boomer's Adventure in Asmik World" which was about a pink dinosaur. To this day I still love that game :)
I missed out on the Snes and PSX generations of gaming, but friends would let me play on theirs' sometimes. Or I'd go into the arcades (anybody still go to those places?). I did some catching up when I discovered the joys of emulation, however.
Recently I acquired a used Gamecube with a controller that looks like a rottweiler mistook it for a toy (read: beat up). I purchased it for the sole reason of playing FE. But I also acquired RE4, Viewtiful Joe and waiting on RE:Remake which I'm told is worth playing...
But that's it, pretty much. My 3 gaming machines, were an atari 2600, gameboy and a gamecube :)...
