Impressive! Do you still play the same kind of games, or has your preference changed over the years?

I play some of the same, some games from back then I still very much enjoy and cannot abandon, and some new current games, notably VR =)

31 years. My first computer was a ZX Spectrum and the games came on weird tape/cassette thing. Im pretty sure it had a wood finish as well. I have a vague memory of waiting ages just to play BMX Ninja.

Kids these days will never know the pain of waiting 10 minutes for a cassette game to load only to find it failed and having to start the process again.

Also they will never know the joy of having a cool uncle who pirated the games he had onto a standard c90 cassette tape...

Lloydiboy, Yep, thats one cool uncle! Do u remember the noisy loading screen that was all distorted? Beast of a machine hahaha

Lloydiboy, Ah, I went to the Atari STE 520 after the ZX. Those were the original wars. Commodore, Atari and Amiga...Just before the NES and the Master System rocked up...good memories

Almost 12 years already. Need to take five

Played a lot of CS GO. Like this shooter much. Sometimes we even competed with my friends making different mini tournaments. The winner got various CS GO-related items, mostly skins from https://skin.club/en/cases/free-case where I have a significant discount

It was a fun time

I've been gaming for about 30 years started going to a 'Computer Club' in 1990 where everyone brought a computer system and we played each others games. We have things like the original NES, Amigas, Spectrums, Amstrads it was amazing at the time and I've been an avid gamer ever since.

Oh god... Umm I think I have been gaming since... 5? I think?? And I am 22 now so that is quite a while now!

I think my first console was either the PC or the first PlayStation.
