It's a bit interesting how the game culture here in eastern europe is different than what's in the west because of various reasons.
* We play on PC mostly
* Consoles older than: the PS2, Xbox 360, Wii are quite rare, not many people have an experience with them (exception for PS1)
* liking more "childish" titles like the nintendo ones is kind of socially embarassing unless you are a child
* But even then, children used to play more adult titles (HL and derivates, GTA, lol FIFA, Age of Empires and the like etc etc) right of the bat and barely any games aimed at chidlren
* obviously the PC titles were a lot of the times pirated
* If we're going even older, we've been stuck on Z80 -ish things for too long, until around Windows 98 era at least. not sure, am too young myself.
