Handheld gamers when they realise they can play in bed, in the garden, on the toilet, whilst watching TV, on a lunch break at work; on holiday, on the bus.

My dad somehow built a Sinclair Z80 clone out of - I guess - smuggled or knock off soviet components. It had no case, just a board with wires. Loaded games off tape cassettes via a tape player and a stereo jack. A good game took 6-8 minutes of fax machine sounds to load. And now I work in the game industry as a result.

the question was not complicated brother, everyone said what THEIR first console was and who got it for them. u answered correctly in ur second paragraph (excluding the intro). first paragraph is about someone else’s console and the others are just other consoles u bought over time (so not ur first console, logically..) so yea. simple question.

Surprising to me how many people struggled with it. I basically play all 2D Mario games with sprint permanently held down so it came naturally to run across that gap. Some people seem to to never use sprint.
