I can remember my Dad and I playing on the Amstrad console - "Pang" and "Burning Rubber" (I think?) .... The controller connections used a serial type port and I can recall him having to fix the pins on more than one occasion!
I also remember one uncle showcasing the PS1 to us, with Gran Turismo and Time Crisis, and another uncle introducing me to Unreal Tournament on PC, a game that I still play today!
Just got the SoundCore Liberty 4 NCs and have to say I'm really impressed. Good fit, ANC has multiple modes and levels plus transparency modes. App is full of settings for things like EQ, loudness limits - even has a thing where you can set an EQ based on a hearing test! Plus they are a decent price.
