[FalloutJack]

Alright, I'm gonna try to answer these with a degree of accuracy here.

{1} 20+ years. (I have a working Atari 2600, dude.)

{2} Crap, ummm... Atari 2600 (See?), Nintendo Gameboy, Sega Genesis, Playstation, PS2, PS3, PSP. (And I had access to Game Gear and Dreamcast because of my sister.)

{3} What?! Awww...do you know HOW HARD THAT IS?! Damn, damn, damn, dammit, DAMN! Uhhhhh...lemme think. Okay, I promised myself that Persona 3 would be my defining game for all RPGs, so that will be the one, even though P4 met the challenge I gave it.

{4} PS3!

{5} Well, as you probably guessed, I'm big into the games that were developed by Atlus, and I definitely like Final Fantasy games (Not 8), so I guess it's JRPGs, though there are A METRIC TON of contenders.

There's your answers, in all honesty. Enjoy.

Favourite Game of all time: N/A

Favourite Console: N/A

Favourite Genre: N/A

I don't have any favourites of all time since there are too many to choose between and my criterion for deciding can change depending on my mood. Ask me one day and my favourite may be Mount & Blade or Dawn of War 2 and the PC, another day it may be Saint's Row 2, Red Dead Redemption or the Fable series and the X-Box 360, but if I'm feeling particularly nostalgic it may be Heimdall or Moonstone and the Amiga.

The only way I could pick my favourites would be to pick my favourite games, for a few different genres, for each console and generation I've been playing games.

[MetaKnight19]

Years you have been gaming : About 15
Consoles you have owned : All iterations of the Game Boy (except the Pocket), all iterations of the DS (except the DSi XL), NES, SNES, PS1, GameCube, Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, Virtual Boy (which doesn't work anymore) and recently a MacBook (which sort of counts, I guess).
Favourite game of all time : Tricky one, its tied between Kirby Super Star Ultra and Pokemon Emerald, since I've played those games so many times and never get bored of them *goes to play Pokemon Emerald*
Favourite console : Another tricky one, but it would probably be the GameCube. Partly because it got me exclusivity as everyone else had a PS2, and secondly because of the great games available for it.
Favourite genre : Anything that isn't Real Time Strategy probably.
