Not quite ...

and I am really showing my age here ... my first console was a Sega Master System that I was given for Christmas, but feel like it was more for my Dad :)

Game cartridges had to be bought in person, not downloaded, and Sonic the Hedgehog bounced along platforms in 2D.

Our first family computer was almost exclusively used for games like Rebel Assault, Kings Quest V and Doom

Dang, those games are indeed old. It's amazing to see how far technology has come. Comparing Doom to modern FPS titles is astonishing.

Looking back it probably wasn't particularly age appropriate but there ya go :)

Doom is such a classic now.

My first console was a sega master system too. But before that I had a Sony HB-10 (MSX1). I still play some of them in emus, the MSX is in the closet collecting dust.
