well my first pc was an Amstrand (europe) where you could load tapes with games it took most of the time like 1/2 hour to load one game it was in grey scale, no color at all, then i was hooked to consoles from atari until now i only play with consoles, i don't use pc for playing, i don't i just don't like it, i use it mostly for video and audio capturing and edition, dvd ripping an edition, download, sharing music, videos as a server with my xbox, etc.
