mine was snafu on intellivision. i think i liked it because it reminded me of the light cycles from tron.
Dynomite on Windows XP
My Gameboy Advanced. Couldn’t tell you my first games, but some favs were Mario Tennis, crash Bandicoot, and some kind of Mario Party game. I also remember a full Frogger game that I really enjoyed. PlayStation 1 was my second console, more Crash Bandicoot and Mario games, Ratchet and Clank, and Madden.
Late 90s and early 2000s were the best times to be a kid (but, of course, I’m biased)
Unsure, and depends on what counts as “playing”. My brother got an old computer for cheap a long time ago. There was a floppy disc with a game on it. I don’t have more impressions of it than walking around in some weird geometry on the black-and-white monitor. Some sort of chess-board floor I think.
Truly gaming would probably be one of those small Tetris handhelds. I still have mine. Used to play for hours on car rides. Either that or Game Boy Pocket.
Atari Frogger and centepide
Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt on the NES. I was much better at Duck Hunt than SMB as a kid.
The system was a PS2. I think the first games I played personally would have been Ratchet and Clank or some licensed Disney shit like Peter Pan or Cars.
Mine was The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap on a Gameboy Advance
I think the first my sister and I played was A Link to the Past. We didn’t know what we were doing, and we didn’t know why the princess and the green guy had the same name… We really got into the series when we watched our dad play Ocarina of Time. Detailed graphics, 3D, a day-night cycle, horse back riding… That game had it ALL.
i watched a friend play alttp at his house but i forgot the name of it afterwards.
some time later my parents took me to best buy and got me the same game.
i recognized it once i got near the water temple in the light world. sounds dumb but that made really happy.
one of my favorite games.
oot was pretty cool too. i beat that and spent so much time just screwing around with a gameshark.
My first one was NES. I was just the right age in the late 80s to be caught in all of it. Funny thing is, I don’t remember asking for it. I think my parents just got me one, but I fell in love with games from that point on.
Heck, my second system was the Genesis, and I didn’t ask, or know about it, either! One of the best memories I have of growing up.
Went to the movies with family friends. When I came back, my dad had set up the Genesis and had Altered Beast playing on the tv. Coming from only knowing the NES, my mind was blown.
Thanks for the excuse to walk down memory lane.
i was mainly into nintendo growing up, except for ps2. dark cloud was awesome. music was catchy but i loved how the weapon system worked.
my favorite memory was getting n64 for christmas. stayed up all night playing san fran cisco rush with my brother.
Combat on Atari 2600
Same here. A friend of mine had it and we used to play that constantly as well as Pitfall and Joust. The first game I had at home was Asteroids on the Atari 520st.
Atari Lynx! It was awesome, but it broke all the time.
handheld right? never played one but a friend had an atari jaguar.
we played some independence day game for it. i remember being put off by the controller. i was more of a fan of the n64 one.
NES playing Sesame Street 123 and ABC. I had a controller in my hand at like 1 and a half. I’m not sure how much the memory is from that exact time, but I remember that game pretty well. I played a lot of classics too, Mario and Zelda, etc.
Mine was an IBM 286 system. Played Commander Keen, Jill of the Jungle, Duke Nukem (1)… It was magical.
The earliest game I remember is Dangerous Dave that I think was on a 386.
Either that or Gorillas, a DOS game on a similar system. Still remember having to park the heads!
Jumpman on the Commodore 64.
we had a c64 in my family at one point too. ghetto blaster/street beat, pipeland, dart tower, street surfer, bc quest for tires [you play as a caveman riding around standing on a wheel], one man and his droid. i played those.
