I was implying that Ali's Mother was on the game and poor [MENTION=180348]Ali[/MENTION] was exposed to this at a young age.

I remember my first encounter with any kind of gaming console was one Christmas when I called to my friends house, his mother answered the door and said the lads were up stairs and to go on up to them. When I went into the room they were playing Pacman on the Atari 2600 and in the space of about 2 seconds life as I had known it would change forever.
I remember some great times and games with that machine, the big ones was Jungle Hunt, Joust, Combat and Missile Command, Jesus there was some games out for it at the time. They mightn't look like much now but back in the day they were mind blowing.
Jungle Hunt
But before all that I used to swap handheld games with mates, games like Donkey Kong and those Tomy hand helds that go upto your eyes. Was very much into the arcade scene aswell, lived the dream in the 80's. Good times.

The Vita is an amazing piece of kit. I owned it from around April 2012-July 2012. Brilliant OLED screen, a great operating system and a powerhouse to boot. Games look great on the screen especially Rayman Origins (the only game I finished on my Vita when I had it).
I traded it in after a couple of months due to there just being no games I wanted on it, and the future looking bleak. The same can still eb said for it as the pipeline of games is really bad and there are none coming that excite me.
However, with PS+ I now have a catalogue of around 10 games I can play on it, so for a second hand Vita at say £100 I’d be set for a long time, and with 1 or 2 games every month on PS+, I might just do that at the end of this month!
I am getting my arse handed to me on a plate. I can complete the easy version in around 60 seconds but I am finding the full version (with catacombs and a white castle) tough because one of the dragons keeps hunting me down.
First home computer was a Commodore 16 which I was overjoyed to come down to on Xmas morning! I found out years later that my Dad had been up all night "testing" it and was knackered for the whole of Xmas day as a result. He became addicted to a tough as hell game called "Fingers Malone" and eventually completed it. Something I never even came close to doing!
The games I remember playing most were "Bandits at Zero", "Prospector Pete" and a very basic football game I cant remember the name of.
After that between me and my brothers we had a Spectrum 48k, Spectrum 128k, Commodore 64, SNES, Mega Drive, Amiga 500+, a couple of PCs, PS1, PS2 and now a PS3.
What I loved most about the early Commodore and Spectrum days was that you could nip down to the shops and pick up a game from £1.99 or £2.99. There were loads to choose from and the pictures on the cover made them all look fucking amazing, even though they were crap most of the time. You could even borrow games from the local Library!
If you had shown me a game like "Skyrim" when I was playing my Commodore 16 I would have literally jizzed in my pants. Then you would have been burned at the stake as a witch.

Ahhh yes, the good ol' days of buying games based on their front cover. I've made that mistake before!
I also remember being fooled time and time again by an amazingly cool looking loading screen. Like a ninja exploding from a truck firing an Uzi with one hand and throwing shurikens with the other while simultaneously smacking some baddie commando in the face with a flying kick. :ninja:
hmy:Then the game started and it consisted of you moving a poorly drawn, tiny black figure through a small purple maze while being chased by green squares.
THOSE WERE THE DAYS I TELLS YA!
