Honest reply: My family/I could never afford consoles, or a gaming pc, so I pretty much missed the gamer train entirely.
To be fair a friend had a PS1 and later a PS2 and I played and loved the fuck out of Silent Hill 1 & 2, and to a lesser extent Dino Crisis also 1 & 2 (strangely enough never played a Resident Evil). I do wish I had played a number of Zelda games (I don't think I've ever heard of anyone who owned any kind of Nintendo), but otherwise I can't say I feel I've missed out on much. Oh I did play Sonic and Mario (the first iteration of each) on a Sega Genesis and a Family (which was our local famiclone if you know what that is) respectively, that a babysitter would sometimes bring over when as a wee bairn.
