I never played games on a computer before; I started with consoles.

I began gaming at five years old in 1995, gathering extensive knowledge across various styles. I’ve experienced both victories and losses, keeping my favorites safe and even repurchasing them for different platforms! So here it goes – this will be a lengthy compilation of SEGA Saturn Virtua Cop Boxed, LightGun Resident Evil Virtua Fighter Fighting Vipers N64, Turok Dinosaur Hunter Turok 2 Seeds of Evil, F1 Grand Prix, 007 The World is Not Enough, 007 Goldeneye, Star Wars Episode 1 Racer, Perfect Dark, F-ZeroX, Shadowman, Jet Force, Gemini, Donkey Kong 64, Mission Impossible, Sony PSX, Resident Evil Tomb Raider, and more. It’s a long list, but you’ll see the full picture!
Many of us simply don't fit the "always been PC gamers" stereotype. Back then, computers weren't common unless someone worked with them full-time. Even then, those machines were mostly confined to work environments 99.9% of the time. My family had an Atari 2600 before I was born, and we got a NES in 1985. It wasn't until the early 1990s that gaming became more accessible, and even back then it was quite costly to own a computer. I also mention that people tended to use Macs rather than PCs, and those were usually found in school libraries. Available games were limited to titles like Oregon Trail and Pong clones. By the late '90s when PC gaming really gained traction, I was enjoying both PC titles and console games.
