MEGADRIVE: it came with Alex Kidd and Altered Beast, and I sent away with a coupon to get Sonic 1.

Gameboy: I won my Gameboy when Star Wars ep IV was re-released and as such it came with Star Wars. Later that day I remember ringing up Nintendo tech support complaining that my gameboy shut off as soon as I turned it on, and a blue line appeared on screen; the guy told me I had run out of batteries.

N64: Bought it second hand with Goldeneye and Mario Kart, the next game I bought was an NHL game for some bizarre reason.

Xbox: Jet Set Radio Future. In fact I bought the game in utter, utter excitement before I had even bought the console.

DS: Mario Kart. I bought the DS so I could play Mario Kart with a girl in Glasgow.

Wii: Zelda: Twilight Princess. I bought the Wii so I could later play Mario Kart with a girl in Glasgow.

360: Dead or Alive 4


The first PC game I ever bought was Dark Reign. The guy that owned the software shop in the city was an American guy, and I used to go in and look at the Dark Reign box pretty much every chance I got. He gave me a discount when I coughed up the pennies to buy it, bless. I got given Warcraft II soon afterwards for Christmas.
