I didn't choose to learn Scheme. For my Principles of Programming module at uni we all had to learn and use it. Then we moved on to Ada95...

Pre or post September?

My secondary school had slightly more powerful versions, if I remember correctly, 66MHz with Turbo on. I remember the cases had LED displays which showed the processor clock speed.

In order I've had, NES, SNES, GB, Sega Saturn, Sega Master System, Sega Mega Drive, then PS2. Only the PS2 remains.

(Got the 1500 model, too)
Vectrex, Odyssey2, Atari (2600?), ColecoVision (With the Atari cartridge expansion, and the rollerball expansion! Centipede! ), Nes and light gun, GB, Super Nes, Game Gear, Genesis (a friend had the HUGE SegaCD, and the games sucked, so I didn't bother), Psx and GunCon, GB Color, PSOne, PS2, GameCube, GBA with Afterburner... and of course, about a dozen frankenstein-ish PCs, starting with an Intel 8088 complete with orange monochrome monitor and 4.77 whole MHz!.

Montyphy wrote:I always preferred the Mario series, especially Super Mario World. Probably because the first levels of Sonic the Hedgehog annoyed me greatly. If I ever stopped on a hill it would take ages to "run" up the last bit, yes realism but realism doesn't always equal fun. Later stages were more enjoyable (especially the mini-games to collect the gem) and atleast they added the boost feature to later Sonic titles, or at least the second one.
