    I believe it was Alex Kidd in Miracle World and that was the master system 2.

    I had the sega master system with the alex the kid built in, it was addictive. I still remember all the sicknesses I would have to fake to stay home from school so I could play it after I got it as a bday present

    Sweet job Dwayne!

    I had a Sinclare Spectrum +2 which took tapes to load games.

    Then I 'upgraded' to a Commodore Amiga like this one (but I didn't have the monitor, only a green screen!)

    I was the same as AJ, started with an Amstrad. I had to enter in the programs (type in codes line after line) just to play a sh*tty stick man game.
