I started with an Amstrad CPC 464, I remember being absolutely mesmerized by the games I got with it, I remember there was a shooting game (kinda like galaga) which was really good, a slot machine game, which me and my dad loved, and a game called Oh Mummy, i loved that, I could play it for hours. For anyone who doesn´t know, it was a pac man style game, in Egypt. It was soooo addictive. I got quite a few games for that in the end like Dizzy, and a small game called Silkworm. Thats probably the only game that me and my dad played together to this day.
Then I was blessed with an Amiga. I´ll never forget the day I got that, my parents just bought me it for no reason (i wasn´t spoiled as a child, honest) and it blew me away. I remember loading up pinball dreams and seeing more than 16 colours and my jaw just dropping! Zool was another game I got addicted to in the early days. Thats when I discovered the mouse and started playing round with imaging programs, deluxe paint being my favorite.
I could talk forever about the Amstrad and the Amiga, I really could. We had some great times together..... As for when I got my first console, the Gameboy, thats a story for another day.
