25-2924 here, First console was a Sega Mega Drive
I'd played one at my neighbours house a few times and never stopped talking about it. Then one day out of the blue my dad arrives in with one... I was too happy !! Got Sonic as my first game. Never looked back. And never plan on doing so !0 -

35-39first saw SFII in an arcade n limerick, was one of those big screen cabinets with the seats attached, with booming sound, many,many 20p pieces were pumped into that thing over the years. seaside arcades were always the best, dark, dingy, all the oul wans pumping their pensions into the slot machines, games like golden axe, double dragon and bubble bobble's themes blaring out of the cabinets, ahhhh the heady days of youth
Those old SF2 cabs with the Happ balltop sticks were the best
And that game was such a huge graphical leap, I don't know if I've ever been as mind blown by any game ever since. Although I am sure to everyone who grew up past the arcade 16 bit era it'd seem like nothing.0 -

Electro-coin twin sit down cabs....they were the dogs. I remember in the arcade I used to frequent, they had three of them beside each other...two SF2 cabs & a Champion Edition in the middle. Then when Hyper fighting came out it was like :eek:
I really miss the arcade days of Sf2, Ridge Racers etc0 -

You and I both.
This is the only image i've ever been able to find of those old machines- interestingly enough though I'd say it was taken recently as if you look at the sticks, they look like modern sanwa or semitsus (you have to know these things when you play FGs )

35-39Them's the ones. There's another one on google images but its huge. Only for the standard width of door frames, I'd have three of them in my shed. Have to make do with what fits though
I'm 30, first console was a 2600jr, progressed to C64, missed the 8 bit generation & went onto a SNES. I amassed a small collection, but you know how it was in the 90's...the PS1 came along & I had to sell everything to fund the £300 at the time.
Years later I decided to collect everything I had sold, & then some. I wanted to get some oddities like the 3DO that I never had in the day. It becomes a dangerous & expensive hobby...

35-39The unfortunate truth is I could easily make a post in the burned out gamers thread. I really don't play games much at the moment, but should the need arise, I'll be ok.
Been there.
Nothing like breaking your neck and having games keep you sane, during recovery, to rekindle the love affair:D0 -
