In a world of my own
I've been having a bit of fun last night going over some old gaming retro sites and realised that I've actually been playing computer games pretty much from the beginning of the big computer game boom. I had one of the first consoles you could buy in the UK - the Soundic "pong" console. Ironically we were a bit poor back in those days - my dad worked on the milk and my mum worked in Boots, I was only 7 or 8 and we didn't have a TV! Dad won the console on the company Christmas raffle and then went out and bought a second hand black and white portable television for us to play the console on. :)

Here it is in all it's glory:

So what consoles/computers did you have and when did you start playing?

Mastertronic £1.99 games, that you could get from just about anywhere, even your local papershop.

This is so true - I remember our local newsagents stocking Jet Set Willy and Manic Miner on the shelf next to the Fighting Fantasy game books.
