Nothing like building up the suspense Peter, lol. My first ever games
console was at kindergarten and was the Sega Mega Drive. I then used to hog
my friend's Playstation 2 at high school playing Tekken 2 and then 3 for
hours. He was totally blind and got great enjoyment from seeing me demolish
all the characters (I loved the Angel and Anna) and of course I got to play
it so it worked both ways. Never had one of my own.
Then onto the normal PC's when I got my first Win95 box in '97. I guess
that shows my age, lol.

There was actually something exciting about having to wait five or ten
minutes for a tape game to load up. Especially when you've just bought it.
Listening to the tones bleeping away, wondering what amazing graphics would
appear. Now you load them up in seconds and it's not the same really!
