The order for consoles that me and my brothers had was Commodore Vic 20 with the cassette drive, Nintendo, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis (then the CD-rom attachment for the Genesis), Playstation, and then Playstation 2.
I have decided to produce and sell a strong alcoholic drink called "Responsibly".
That way everyone in the country can get wasted drinking Responsibly.
And all the other drinks makers will be advertising for me on their cans with the slogan "please drink Responsibly".
Probably will annoy the government as well.

I used to love playing Risk and was quite good at it. My family and friends got wise to me though and they all used to gang up on me at the beginning of each game which made it difficult for me to last very long. :(
