    The original Mega Man, or one of the other 5 on the NES? I recently played through 3, and damn the music was good. Would've been my top Mega Man game except for one fatal flaw. The lag. Every boss encounter, or anytime there were more than 2 enemies on the screen created SUCH slowdown. I don't remember it being that bad as a kid. Anyway:

    First game console:
    Nintendo Entertainment System, and Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt that was included with the console

    Favorite gaming system:
    Every fiber of my being says Super Nintendo, but honestly it's probably my Nintendo Switch for the mere fact that I hacked it to play all the old retro shit. So technically my Switch is NES/SNES/N64/Genesis/Dreamcast/PS1/PSP and really it's hard to beat that.

    Favorite top 3 games:
    Extremely difficult choice and I think my answers would vary depending on the day of the week I've been asked that question:
    1. Chrono Trigger
    2. Binding of Isaac (my wife and I play 2-player mode a lot together)
    3. Tie between Super Metroid and Hollow Knight

    Honorable mention to FF6, FF9, and Super Mario RPG.

    2600, I had a lot of games, Breakout and Missile Command were the most played.

    Sega Genesis was probably my favorite.

    As for games...
    Castlevania Symphony of the Night
    Disgaea
    Shining Force 2

    that's how I feel right this second, but there are others, Raiden & Raiden II took a lot of my quarters and I did play a lot of Diablo 2 back in the day.

    NES, Super Mario Bros

    SNES just on hours spent playing. Most of my childhood summers, we all had the same console and we just traded games and played multiplayer or competed on score.

    Planescape: Torment
    Chrono Trigger
    Super Metroid

    NES, Super Mario Bros / Duck Hunt.

    Favorite console of all time is still probably PS2, just because of how stacked the library was, especially since it played PS1 games, too.

    I never owned a video game system, but my first computer was a Texas Instruments TI-99/4A

    Arari 2600

    Genesis/PC

    Half-Life 1&2... the modding scene gave it infinite replay value.

    Sega Mega Drive. It's interesting how it seems SNES was the more popular console around the world, but among my friends and classmates everybody had either mere NES or Mega Drive. Only one friend had a SNES and just 3 games for it, where as we Sega-bros had dozens and regularly borrowed games from each other.

    The games I play the absolute most (WoW, Overwatch, Valheim, Minecraft, Terraria etc.) I play on PC, so that should dictate PC as my all-time favorite platform.

    Commodore 64 or Nintendo depending on the definition if gaming system.

    I don't know what I'd pick as favorites...if I go by time invested I'd say Kerbal Space Program (particularly modded with RSS/RP-1) and World of Warcraft definitely have the most time spent in game. No idea what I'd pick as a third.

    C64 followed by a 486-SX25.

    Now I roll PC & PS5, my first console ever. Always considered consoles to be the poor man's PC.
    Untill now when I suddenly could see myself enjoying gaming from a couch now and then, presumably age make consoles unavoidable eventually

    ----
    PC

    ----
    Doom (alpha version)*
    Last Ninja II
    Last of US I & II

    * cos it is still, for me, the biggest game changer in the field of gaming. One small step for ID, one giant leap for mankind-moment

    But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
    Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
