When I got to Uni basically every other person had a Snes and Mariokart. Before that I had known people with NES or Gameboy but they weren't that big a thing.
And then Sony blew everything out of the water with the Playstation.
I personally was a Spectrum/Amiga kid and didn't get a console until I bought a Snes and Megadrive off a student mate. The only time when drugs were of benefit to me (he wanted them, so wanted money, so I got his consoles).
