Magic Boy, Billy the Kid, and some old Flinstones game using DOS. My father had to take the 5in floppies and convert them to 3.5in at work, then teach me basic DOS just to play. Then doom/wolfenstien/Duke Nukem just put the nail in the coffin

If we dont count Amiga and Atari as PC then GTA II - after school LAN sessions in internet cafes.

I've never been a console gamer. Yeah, my first machine was an 8-bit Nintendo, granted, but soon after I got an Olivetti 486 DX/2 and a Mac PowerPC 133mhz and found both superior in every way. Back then of course, Apple had better games. Bungie were Mac-exclusive developers, making sweet, sweet games like Marathon and Abuse only for Mac, and the huge shareware scene with games like Escape Velocity and Prime Target was kicking Microsoft in the nuts.

 

So keyboard and mouse is my foremost calling.

 

Though I did own a Nintendo 64, playing Goldeneye and Rogue Squadron. The occasional Pokemon GBA game. I have very good taste.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

Holy crap, that's it.

Haha, I probably only guessed right because I used to play the hell out of it too. The sequel was also pretty fun.
