this is a good topic
In early 90s I had a Dendy (it was a Chinese NES clone which was the only available option in Russia, there was even a TV show)
I got some games like Darkwing Duck, Battletoads etc, but they were way too hard to complete!
Later my father bought me a SNES (I even couldn't dream about this kind of console). It was 1994 or 1995.
I had some cool games (mostly fightings - I loved them back in the days!) like Donkey Kong Country, Killer Instinct, MK II & Ultimate, Rise of the Robots (I especially loved this one because it was rare and it was some kind of fake-3D graphics)
In 1997 I got my first PC. One of my first games was a boxed copy of
I loved the game! I loved the series, I pretty much played everything I could and didn't bother with genres as long as we had very limited offer of official games and a HUGE variety of pirated stuff with some err creative translations and very cheap price. It was like 10 times lower than the licensed games. I still own some of the CDs just for good memories.
Somewhere in 1998 I bought Fallout 1 as a BD present for my friend, I didn't know that it was an RPG, I just liked the appearance of the game and isometric perspective.
I got caught by it and that's how I started playing RPGs.
So back to the topic: I usually followed 2-3 games a year and didn't bother by anything else in early 00s, but then Steam sales came, I bought some useless stuff, didn't play it and now I'm trying to get back to playing fewer games. I buy some side stuff during sales, but it's mostly some short games with interesting concept like Limbo or Brothers.
But what will I do when Incline of 2014/2015 will be unleashed??????
