I have special feelings for the Atari ST, because that was my first computer, and my first step in the world of video games. I know it was technically inferior compared with the Amiga, although most of the games were not different on both machines, except for the sound part. But it was also cheaper...
I also have sweet memories of the 16-bit consoles (SNES, Mega Drive / Genesis) for the lots of good games on them.
And also the Nintendo 64 for the possibility of playing 3 or 4 players simultaneously on the same screen (Mario Kart, Goldeneye, ...).

Good old times ! ^^
I started my gaming adventure with Commodore 64 and I must say I have found memories of this computer, but what made this machine special was the SID chip. It was the most advanced sound chip available on home computer at in '80. I still remember and hum from time to time themes from games like "Ace of Aces", "Commando", "Super Robin Hood", "The Great Giana Sisters" or "Cybernoid".

Regarding the giveaway, I would like to be in for:
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition
War for the Overworld Ultimate Edition

Thank you for your generosity Doc0075.

You're mad, indeed. What a spectacular giveaway!!
I don't remember something like that, at least not seen here for a long time.

Some of my wishlisted titles are here, but I am a lucky winner of some of your previous giveaways, so just thanks a lot for your generosity and good luck to everyone!

Regarding gaming platform - my gaming adventure started with C64 and still feel some nostalgia to Commodore, however my beloved point&clicks and complicated crpgs demands a PC, so I don't miss anything.
Thank you for the giveaway! I shall enter for:

Homeworld® Remastered Collection
Din's Curse/ Din's Curse: Demon War
Mafia

I'll stand up for the Colecovision. It was the first gaming console we owned, unless you count the Pong clone we had before it. It fell into obscurity because of the Crash but I didn't know anything about that business crap. I just had a lot of fun playing stuff like Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr., Pepper II, Montezuma's Revenge, Popeye, Zaxxon, Mouse Trap, Gyruss, Gorf, etc. We also had the Atari 2600 adapter, so I was enjoying a lot of those games on it, too. Yeah, the controllers weren't very comfortable to use but we tolerated them anyway.
I'd like to be in for:

5. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition
10. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Game of the Year Edition
1. Thea: The Awakening
11. Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear

I've been a PC gamer most of my life, but I never really had any major attachment to any system. Had a 286 growing up, then 486, then Pentium, then PII, then...well, then became now. Other than that, I had a sega megadrive ii as a kid, but aside from making me understand that Sonic was infinitely better than Mario, again, no real attachment. And a gameboy (that's what helped my parents discover that I had a lazy eye).

I can't really think of any "magic moment" or "magic system" that was special to me. I suppose I could go with my earliest PC memories: Playroom, some Disney/Mickey Mouse game, Prince of Persia, Reader Rabbit, KQV (watching my father play from behind his shoulder), etc. on the 286.

Blargh...now I'm feeling all nostalgic and sad. Thanks :P

14. Undertale
3. Door Kickers
I have, (un)fortunately, never experienced any gaming system / console / arcade machine other than PC. However, there is something that makes the computer I'm currently typing this on special, and that's the fact that this is the first one that I've assembled myself back in the beginning of 2017. From picking the particular components and monitoring the stores for discounts through actually building it to periodically taking care of all its needs, I've done it all (weeeell, most of it) myself and that's a thing I am somewhat proud of - considering that the majority of my peers doesn't seem to know the difference between an integrated and dedicated GPU.

Doc0075: List all games that you are interested in.
Very generous of you +1. I am only interested in (obviously only one of the two):-

7. Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition
13. Divinity: Original Sin - Enhanced Edition

Doc0075: I want you to name a gaming system that you love (console or computer) and what makes it special.
For me it would always be the ZX Spectrum. First video game I ever played was "Dizzy" which started off my love of Platformers / Metroidvania's. I've always been utterly astounded at what could be squeezed into 64-128kb RAM (let alone how stuff like 3D first-person "Castle Master" is even possible). Many happy early school years spent playing Gauntlet, Double Dragon, Outrun, etc, and I still replay some even today via Spectaculator (emulator).
Thanks for the great and generous giveaway Doc0075 !

I have fond memories of my old 386 dx. Yeah, it was really slow at the end, but it was enough to play UFO: Enemy Unknown (and I didn't need more). And after upgrading RAM from 2 to 4 MB I could play Mortal Kombat 1 :) At least when I deleted Doom 2 from a disk first, as there was no place for them both. Yet I loved that machine... And that cool Turbo button! ;)

I'm in for:
Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition
Homeworld® Remastered Collection
War for the Overworld Ultimate Edition
Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
Wow how generous you are Doc, it is such great giveaway. My favourite gaming platform would be PC because of choice of games and upgrading possibilities, and in younger days I have played lot of Nintendo consoles.

I'm in for Day of the Tentacle Remastered
What a truly awesome and humbling display of generosity, Doc0075! You’re mad as a hatter!

I’d like to enter for Saints Row IV: Game of the Century Edition.

I adore the Amiga. It was such an incredible and versatile machine, and I still regret selling my trusty old 500+, the first computer I ever owned.

Try playing UFO: Enemy Unknown on Amiga without the hard drive. I think it was on five floppies (it was years ago, memory's fuzzy), though I don't remember how often they needed to be swapped around. ;)

Civilization was on four, and the record I heard of (though didn't play it myself), Gobliiins 3 (not sure about the number of i's in the title, but I'm pretty sure there was more than one) was on six.

I don't remember how many floppies Mortal Kombat was on, but quick Google search suggested three for first game and four for second one.

Also a thing I wonder about, maybe you know: what was the deal with the Turbo button? I mean, I get it made the machine faster in some way I guess, but why wasn't the faster mode just used all the time? (by the time I got my first PC, I think Turbo wasn't a thing anymore)

cool giveaway :D


I'm in for

21. Serpent in the Staglands
16. Homeworld® Remastered Collection

I have mainly played videogames on the PC so there's not much of a choice lol :D. I did play some bootleg atari stuff, SNES and PS1 at other people's places though. They had great stuff that wasn't on PC, like Medievil, Super Mario World or uh Keystone Kapers lol :D
I also played with the soviet handheld with the cartoon wolf catching eggs.

But still, most of my gaming was PC and what made it special was the bleep bloops of PC speaker :D
