I think i was 3 or 4, when the family got a NES with mario bros and duck hunt. Then there was the SNES, The classic Gameboy, the Mega Gear ( Genesis), PSX, GBC, N64, GBA, GC, GBASP, PS2, DS, Wii. I'm still considering getting a 360, since it's now only slightly cheaper than a DS ( but DSi will be there sometime soon, i hope.)
If you get a 360 arcade you'll most likely end up paying for loads of other things like a harddrive, Xbox live subscription, Extra batteries for the controller etc.
At least with a DS you get everything there and then.

In the US, it now actually makes sense to get an arcade unit. It has the wireless controller, memory card, no HDMI cables though. But the important thing is that the Xbox HD isn't stupidly priced anymore. You'd pay the same getting the normal 360 bundle or getting the arcade unit and the HD separately. Also M$ is offering the HD's even cheaper to arcade unit owners because of the new xbox experience (which is too big to fit on a memory card), so it's something like $50 cheaper to buy them separately. Don't know how long that will last though.
I was 11. Hated videogames before that because all the other kids played them already, had to do something else. I didn't change much since then, apart from playing games now sometimes.
First game I ever got into was Sonic 2, and I loved it dearly. I remember it being so hard when I was little. Funny how memories stick with you though, every time I play the Oil Ocean level, I remember the night in my old house I was waiting for pizza my dad ordered to come, and I beat the level for the first time ever, as soon as the pizza came. Ah, good times.
I was about 4 or 5 I think and we'd got Croc 1, or "Croc: Legend of the Gobbos" for PC and that's when it all began And I kept playing it all through my life and I still can't beat the Neptuna Fish Boss 'cos I was scared of it when I was little, so I just don't go near it lol.
That's just the bosses. The actual levels were even more amazing.
heh, I must admit, I have never owned a game console. It's been PC all the way for me so far. I have played a Gameboy Advance emulator on my PC though if that counts Which it probably doesn't... Here is a list of some favourite games that I can remember :
Croc 1
Various games that came with the pc (Chips's challenge, great game , Ski, Jezzball, etc..)
DX Ball (YAY!!)
And theres bound to be hundreds more but I just can't think of them right now
Early PS1 was so awesome. Croc, Rayman, FFVII, Jumping Flash, Spyro, Abe's Oddysee, Tomb Raider and chums. Shame it was all downhill from there but ace that they can be played on the PSP again.
