First dedicated games machine was a Gameboy Pocket, came with the first 2 Super Mario Land games. Still got SML2 but I don’t know for the life of me where 1 went. I’m not sure if that was before or after I was playing PC games, but it was an early birthday (probably about 5).

If the PC came first then my first game was probably Theme Park, or something from the software that came with our first PC (had a couple of games on there, kinda crappy but decent for the time. I remember one called Plane Crazy – plane racing game, that was cool.

Chip’s Challenge on WindowsNT 3.5

I remember that game Log in to see images! although I think I played it on Windows 95 or 98.

I also remember being scared ****less by the monsters in it… most of the game was just a pressure-free puzzler, getting the right boots (flameproof/flippers etc.) to let you get across dangerous areas and finding your way through a maze or stuff, then suddenly one level there’s these freaking weird looking things that constantly run towards you to try and eat you.

Didn’t have a jot of pathfinding intelligence though, so you just had to keep them on the other side of a wall, but if they were offscreen somewhere and you accidentally led them out of the area they were boxed into they could come flying out of nowhere to mess your **** up…
