In our household we started off with a NES, but then it was DOS and Windows 95 gaming all the way through to working age. I did play SNES and Megadrive round friends' houses but it was obviously fleeting. I was so desperate to play I used to cycle to the local toyshop and play the demonstration games. I also had a Game Gear, which was a bit of a mistake in retrospect, but still gave me many hours of joy when I was plugged in. For our household it was the big RTSes for my brother - Dune 2, Civ, Command & Conquer. For me I loved platform games, so shareware filled that niche - Crystal Caves, Secret Agent, Jazz Jackrabbit filled that niche rather well. Doom and Quake were great favourites in my house, as well as puzzle games like The Incredible Machine and Lemmings. Sierra games made their appearence like Leisure Suit Larry and Space Quest. Living in Belgium and with seemingly no shops around us, it was a struggle to get hold of games sometimes, but we muddled along. You sound like me when it comes to DOS and Win85 games! Add in racing games and we could be twins
