I started with the zx81 which had only 1k memory as standard playing 3d monster maze in black and white with no sound then progressed to zx spectrum also had atari console(pacman,missile command,combat etc.)
Then commodore 64,Amiga,SNES,Playstation,PC etc.

I studied up on the original consoles a while back. So I do.

PC will always be the ultimate console. It's possibilities are not hardware bound like most things.

Games those days were awesome.. You could count all moving pixels on your tv and you still had a fun for weeks/months.. Not like modern games which are mostly an afternoon of fun..
