First that I can really remember is in the form of old 8-bit Nintendo stuff. I'm sure that some people must've had authentic NES consoles but the place was flooded with knock off consoles too and no one really knew the difference. I must've been about 4 years old when we got a 'Pegasus' and one of those 100-in-1 cartridges.
Although I remember computers from early on too. I wouldn't remember names of the machines but I remember seeing some of those old green and black displays around, although mostly DOS ruled the day. I remember trying to play 'Logo' on the school computers but never really knew how. They tought it to the older kids I think but by the time I got the computers had all been upgraded and were running Windows and we were learning things like how to use Paint etc. We had a DOS PC at home for a little while with 'Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego' on it. Mostly though, we didn't really have the cash for computers back thing so the best 'computing device' I ever had growing up was my second hand Sega Mega Drive.
