I got a Mac, PS2 and Gamecube but hardly ever use my consoles cos my GF kicks off when I leave them setup on the TV downstairs, I think I'm gonna have to get a 21" telly upstairs  :(

Anyways I'm really looking forward to GT4 when it actually gets released as I love driving games.

My Fav list of games have to be:

Sensible Soccer (Amiga)
Gran Turismo 1,2,3 (Ps & Ps2)
Unreal Tournament 2003 (Mac)
Mario Kart Series (Nintendo's)
Street Fight 2 Turbo (SNES)

This are the ones I can think of but I'll update as I remember :cool:

Never had any games consoles as a kid - my parents wouldn't let me & my brother have one :(  (cue counselling for parental hatred issues  :D )

First computer was a Toshiba satellite laptop about 5 years ago. Then had an IBM thinkpad, now HP pavillion.

Used to play on my mate's spectrum when I was a kid and another mate (the posh one) had a commodore 64 which I thought was the mutt's nuts

After that I preferred girls & booze so never really got into games/pc's  :)  :p

Drivings going ok mate, just bought a Blitz Nur Spec R exhaust which cost me £500 but it's improved my low end torque, I wouldn't mind getting into drifting but I wanna upgrade my anti roll bars first.

How about you?

I had an Amiga 500 and later a Amiga CD32  :D for a while but both died a death a few years ago.

The Monkey Island games and Sensible Soccer were great.

Years ago I had a Playstation in college but ended up flogging it for drinking money.

Nowadays I stick to a PC. Every two years or so I custom build my own top of the range monster to play state of the art games (or generally games at their absolute max eye candy settings). I'll probably upgrade again next year as I find that my current machine will not run the likes of Half Life 2 at max settings.

Current favs of mine are:

Doom 3
Codename Panzers
Far Cry
Half Life 2
Rome Total War.

LOTR: Battle for Middle Earth ain't bad, but not nearly as good as it could have been.
