To answer you other questions:
I like a lot of different games, I used to play Killer Instinct, MK2 and UMK3 in the arcades in my teenage years. On the console I have a soft spot for FF7, but I also like platform games like the Mario and Sonic games (and Alex Kidd in Miracle World!!)
As a kid I played all kind off arcade games, my father had a MSX and Philips Videopac so I played on it a lot. The systems I had/ have myself are: Sega Master system, SNES, N64 , PS1, 2 and 3. My friends had C64, Atari (?), NES, Amiga, Megadrive, etc
I played on most of the systems around, but allmost never on XBOX.
I don't like shooters like CoD and MW and flight sims, but I have fun with most other games
