Interesting growth, I like this timeline of yours.
For me it would be like:
• Game boy pocket
• Playstation one
• Playstation 2
• PSP
• Nintendo wii
• Nintendo DS
• PS3 slim
• Nintendo 3DS
• Wii U
• PSvita
• PS4
• Nintendo Switch
But now I also collected some of the older consoles when I was old enough to buy online. So N64, Gamecube, GBA, NES Classic, and SNES Classic helped me complete my nintendo library. It used to be that I was the playstation person, and my cousins were the nintendo nerds, and we would visit each other to try out the games available. Now that I am actually old enough to get a job, buying and playing various consoles became a hobby of mine.
Interesting question, let me think... in the order:
-POD by Ubisoft was my very firs racing game, lovely times. Still have it thanks to GOG, still play it occasionally!
-ISS space station educational "sim" where you can build your own ISS from real life modules. No clue what was the game real name, it was very old and simple but I remember it as something magical at the time.
-First Elite, yes that what's got me in to space stuff in the first place.
And finally:
Minesweeper was my jam, I often play it on my Dad's computer, that and solitaire were early memories playing games on PC.
Also Elite fascinates me, is it the same elite as the elite dangerous we have now? Cause that franchise has been around for years now, the oldest I know of was for the NES.
In my hometown we had a couple of arcades thanks to being near the sea. I never had enough 10p's to play them very often, but favourites were "Gorf", "Galaga" and there was even a sit-down version of the Star Wars vector game.
All before I got a computer of my own.
Arcades were a thing we had here too for a while. In my island, our options of arcade machines were limited but were fun. We had titles like the house of the dead, marvel vs street fighter, metal slug (Which was really popular), and pinball machines. Of course most of my memories were just pressing buttons expecting a response since I had no money as a kid, which is sad to see when I grew up that the arcade machine places disappeared and those that remain are mobile game ports or made to win tickets for prizes.
Hopefully, it is a dream of mine to actually build a custom arcade cabinet of my own. That way I could relive those arcade and Neo Geo classics at the comfort of my home.
