The console days

It all started when my parents got me a gaming console when I was a kid.

I do not recall the situation and whys/hows. Just the fact that the very night I was not able to sleep due to Bomberman impatiently exploding baloons: "P000F! beep beep P000F!"

I am pretty sure the console was a NES clone: possibly black box, pair of controllers, a light gun and a cord with augmented power supply box. I later had to replace the controllers with the new Select-Start ones, the gun got lost but the power supply kept well even at play-until-it's-red-cool-in-freezer conditions.

Actually, these were the first hardcore days and nights. The games I can clearly remember were Duck Hunt and Battle City. Even my father used to beat the juices out of the latter.

I am quite positive the console was worn out in a couple of years, so I had to move on. I always had this obsession with the 16bit Mega Drive. Road Rash II was incredible when I played that at a local store. Mega Drive was the next thing I wanted so bad.

Oh well, I got 8bit Master System instead.

It was a huge maroon-black box with Alex Kidd integrated. Can remember the lava spitting levels I did not manage to beat. Later got several titles including Predator 2, something-tennis, Sonic the Hedgehog and Golden Axe Warrior. The latter being the most memorable.

PC looked like overwhelming blistering temple at the time. More about that sometime later.
