My first gaming experience was on my best friends Commodore Amiga 500 almost 20 years ago...Eventually his parents decided to move the computer out of their house because we couldn't stop playing (i became their adopted son for that period).After that we started to go secretly to arcades where we spend all of our pocket money so his parents regreted it after a while and brought the computer back into his house!
But yes,i also consider the PS1 era as the "old days",i think it was the time i became seriously hardcore about gaming and i really miss those days.Lately i find my self playing more PS1 games than current gen games.
