Played any battery powered "tabletop" video game I could get my hands on 80s. Discovered arcade gaming in the early 80s. If someone had an Atari, they had my loyalty.
Eventually saw an NES in my local Walmart and thought it was mankind's greatest achievement. Got my own NES in 1988 and from that point on, I bought every home/portable Nintendo ever made.
In 1996, I ran out of N64 games to play so I got a PS1 in early 1997. After that, I bought every PlayStation home/portable ever.
In 2001, after months of trying to get a PS2 and failing, I bought a Dreamcast. Loved it! After that, I bought every....uh, that didn't work out very well.
In 2007, I saw Gears of War running on an Xbox 360 in person. Before that, I was considering quitting gaming. After that, Xbox became my most played gaming hardware.
Sprinkle in some random hardware like the Ouya and you now have a pretty good idea of who I am as a gamer.
