I know I've said this before, but, on Xmas Day 1990, seeing Strider at my best mates house was simply mind-blowing. It took me 4 months, two paper rounds and the sale of a LOT of C64 games, but the MD became my first console, all down to that game.

Does a C64 from 86-91 count? I loved it, but did always envy the Amiga owners.

And also the modern push for "telly" games to be never-ending 100+ hour endurance-a-thon.

It's interesting (to me), that 35 years ago, I had no interest whatsoever in playing underpowered handhelds compared to my 16-bit telly consoles, and all this time later, my gaming is 100% handheld.

Back in the early 90s, I once watched a kid put 5 credits into an Outrun cab and complete all 5 endings in one sitting.
I hated that kid. I still hate that kid.

Thalamus was just a badge of quality around this time. I'd buy anything they put out at that point.

I'm going to keep it, and hopefully, there will be some cross-gen games that I get to play with my Son—he on Switch 2, me on the OLED.

Once upon a time, I had around 700 CDs. I'm now down to 80 "essential" albums that I can't part with, despite the fact that they've not been in a CD Player for five years or more.

I decided a few years ago that I wouldn't be buying any new consoles. The Switch will do for me now.
