What gaming consoles (or computers) did you play on as a kid?

Amiga 1200 was my first but I probably spent more time with creative software like Deluxe Paint than any games. I did enjoy some of the (simpler) puzzle/strategy-oriented games like Lemmings and Worms but didn't get into action games that much, this was like 92 onwards so the peak Amiga gaming era had passed really & my undeveloped young reflexes didn't get along with the clunky joystick controls either. N64 was the one that fully hooked me, I played Mario Kart 64 on a demo kiosk and it completely blew me away, eventually after numerous return trips to that same woolworths to play it again I got my own for Xmas and after that i was fully gamer-pilled, think I got a Game Boy next and then a SNES when they were selling off cheap bundles so I kinda worked my way backwards to the older console stuff I hadn't played when it was current
