Would a Spectrum count as a console, 'coz it plugs into a TV, or a desktop, because you could write programs in basic?

I guess console, also it had tape drives, for excellent loading sounds and visuals [for the 20 min load times…]

Compaq somethingorother with 8MB ram, 500MB hdd, Windows 3.1.

Wow, that’s what I had, a ZX Spectrum Sinclair! It was actually good for my health as I went outside to play while it was loading a game… when it did load!

It was a lane change simulator. I played that thing to death.

First tech as the first one I bought for myself or the first one I got my hands on, as in my parents bought for me to play with?

Probably just the first tech you used, regardless of who bought it.

In that case NES… I don’t count throwing coins in the arcades though. So NES…

Here is my first piece of tech at the age of one. Ain’t it a beauty. It’s a General Electric 9-7785 by Panisonic.

It was a brazilian NES on a chip system, the DYNAVISION Radical.
It was actually really cool because it could run NES games from any region, including japanese games.

I remember we used to have a Pong machine, complete with fake wood effects, and two controller dials that slotted into the machine itself.
