I was born in 1987, but some of the tech and stuff I and the people around me were into were from the late 70's. Late 70's and early 80's contextualized the advancement of technology. Example: The first console I played was an Atari 2600 (late 70's). The first game systems I ever owned are Mattel Acquarius and an MSX computer (early 80's), my experience with all three happened at around the same time, so it made me appreciate how great the MSX was lol. |
Using older tech was the default experience here in Brazil, so I know the feeling, lol.
I'm from 1993 and my first console was the Sega Master System... in late 1999, when the PS2 was about to be released xD
The first game I've ever played was Prince of Persia in a PC (whose system I really have no clue what was, probably the DOS version running on a windows 3.1 or so), earlier that year tho... but I hated it.
Sonic on the Master System was the game that made me a gamer.
Then my cousin got a Mega Drive and I got to see 16-bit Sonic and holy sh... lol
So yeah, experiencing generational gaps from 3rd to 7th gen one by one was really something crazy, which people starting to game nowdays will likely never experience.
