I was a Nintendo kid but had a neighbor who was only up in the summer and they had an Atari so my game fix for consoles was pretty good. Was on BBS downloading games via dialup for my PC (back in the 386 days).
Think it was around 5th grade when this new kid moved to town from Califorina. He was a Sega and Neo Geo kid. So of course I fawned over his system as he was the one that diferent from all the rest of us.
