My first games consoles


My first games console 



When I was about seven or eight the most popular consoles were the Sega Mega drive and Nintendo.  We had the Nintendo and one of my cousins had the Sega mega drive. I loved both especially the cartoons that came with them but I loved using the cheats to get to levels I was no where near ready for. I also liked playing football games and other games on the consoles. .Even when I was that young I found that  it was always something that I could really concentrate on.

The main selling character for the Sega mega drive was Sonic the Hedgehog with his friend tales and manic tries to save their mother. There have been many different cartoons based  around Sonic the Hedgehog and Sega always had Sega theme tune  as a logo at the start. Nintendo were selling an Italian plumber Mario and Luigi who were trying to fix peoples pipes. I also played Donkey Kong and others.

Sega and Nintendo’s games were an awkward shape and very big. Also the console was big.
Now I play with games like the Nintendo Wee and it makes you think how far games have come. As well as that there are things like the Game Boy Advanced which makes thing a lot easier as you can play games in a car.    Now when I travel  on long journeys like holidays I make sure to have my Gameboy Advanced. But as they are so small you can loose them very easily
