Rhoda Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I had a Sega Master System II when I grew up, the model with Alex Kidd built into it. I spent so much time on that game, and never beat it until recently. Even at 21, I found the ending fickle, frustrating, unfair, harsh and incredibly difficult if you didn't know what you were doing. It's a good job the controllers were wired because I could see many a kid throwing theirs at the screen only for it to bounce back and hit them right in their chubby 1994 faces. I also had Tommy Boy (something about a kid with a semi-automatic shooting spaced out flying egg men) and some odd racing car game where you start off as a motorbike and "evolve" into a fighter jet as pieces attach themselves onto you.

Fireman Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 We use dto have a Sega, which is as far back as I can remember (even though my dad did have other consoles before that) and we were one of the few people I knew with a PC WITH INTERNET. After Sega we bought a SNES, after that a PS1, then a PS2 (in the meantime we also had Gameboy and GBC) and then a Xbox360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnotherDave Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 An Amstrad CPC 464 was where my gaming really started. I still remember Flimbo's Quest, Head Over Heels, Outrun, Harrier Attack, Oh Mummy and the like very fondly. Damn it, now I want to be a kid again.

Finn 7 five 11 Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Well im 20 now, i started out on the PS1 which my older brother owned, i would have been 5 or 6, something like that anyway, i can recall playing Spyro the most. After that it was the Gameboy and Pokemon R/B, i kept playing those for many years to come, usually on the move since the PS2 was released, and i still do occasionally. Then the PS2 came and rocked my world with GTA III! That was when i was 10 or 11, that saw me through until i was 15-16 before the next console, that pretty much documents my video gaming childhood...Oh i miss those days, spending hours headbutting things on spyro, not really getting anywhere, trading pokemon with my cousins, and having epic pokemon battles with my cousins and friends, and of course GTA III,VC and San ANdreas, running over hookers, doing stupid cheats and wreaking havoc in general, playing with my much older sister even. I still love games, but they are not as fun as they used to be and rarely generate the laughs it used to (through no fault of the games), and i am not so carefree and full of spare time to indulge them as often as i did throughout my childhood. VideoGaming is an important part of my life, definitely better than any other toys i ever had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inky Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 I think the very first system I had was an Apple II. I remember playing old games on it and other than missile defense I don't remember the others. Later on I got the NES and really got into Mario after that .

Menaced Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 The first console I actually casually picked up and played was my sister's PlayStation (the original fat one), and the first games I played were Tekken and Crash Bandicoot. Oh, such fond memories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dnero Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Never had one of those retro consoles (64, NES, etc) Been growing up with the ol' PS1-2 and a gameboy advance sp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggdydog Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Playstation 1 when I was really young (I basically lived on Rayman and Driver), then later a PS2 and Gamecube. F*ck, did any of you play Pikmin? That was amazing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryuclan Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 First game console I remember playing was the NES. We had Duckhunt and Super Mario. First game would either be my arcade experiences or Oregon Trail and Mario Teaches typing in elementary. I had a super nintendo which I sucked at every game on it. (shaq fu, zombies ate my neighbors, some wrestling game, and street fighter.). I then got an N64 which was my only system until I got a playstation 2 very late. After that was the xbox 360.

Linki Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Technically my first video game related thing ever was a Gameboy Color, but my first true gaming experience that I remember was the Gamecube. I rented Zelda Wind Waker with Ocarina of Time as a bonus disc and remember being blown away, like I found the meaning of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cactus. Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I'm coming to a strange realization that perhaps I never actually owned the original NES, despite having played it quite a lot. I just can't recall actually playing it in my own home..hmm. I've clear memories of being scared to death of Castlevania, shooting Jaws for hours on end with a harpoon, and some extremely awkward soccer games. Perhaps the Gameboy would be my first official gaming device; boy did I play the sh*t out of Alleyway and Bo Jackson's Baseball. Then it was the Sega Genesis, characterized by sleepless nights of ToeJam & Earl, Sonic, and Arnold Palmer's Golf (I must've played this game for a good 6 months before I'd actually learned how to swing the club properly..don't ask). And of course I'll never forget receiving a copy of Mortal Kombat. Good times were had. On to the Nintendo64. GoldenEye, Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, WCW. I still find it hard to match those gaming days. Then the Playstation 2. Smoking lots of weed and trying to get the highest score on Tony Hawk's 2, f*cking sh*t up on GTA III, and starting to play FIFA more intensively. Obviously getting older and finding less time to devote to gaming. Sad indeed. Now it's Playstation 3 where I'm lucky to get in time to play the few games I have: GTA IV, RDR, FIFA12, and now Ico/SotC. I'm not even a casual gamer nowadays, never really was I suppose. I pace myself incredibly slowly (still waiting to play Episodes from Liberty City) just trying to concentrate on one title at a time. Next on my list is the entire Metal Gear Solid series.

dabaannz Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Wow, you guys are young... First game system for me was the Atari 2600... Some of the games I kinda remember were Chopper command, Haunted house (which sucked), Pitfall, Pacman and that Superman game where you just fly around for hours. We'd played video games at the arcade and grocery store before that, so were stoked to actually be able to play games at home without having to lug around a pocket full of quarters.

freak2121 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Been a PC gamer all my life. Played the sh*t out of Neverhood and The Need For Speed 1&2 way back like 14+ years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icarus Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Early years of childhood, I had a regular Nintendo and then a Super Nintendo. I eventually progressed to the Nintendo 64 (loved Goldeneye), then the PS2. Those were the consoles I used before I turned 18. Since then, I've owned a PS3 and now I own a 360.

Algonquin Assassin Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Although I did start with an Atari I can't remember the exact model, so I'll say Sega Mega Drive as my first. As it was the 2nd console I owned. Then I went to the PS1, PS2, Xbox, PS3 and 360. For handhelds I had a GBA and NDS.

Barry Spock Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 When I was in grade 3 or 4 my friend had a Commadore 64 with a tape drive. I remember playing some sort of duck shooting game. Sometime after that we got an atari 2600. handheld games were big then too - donkey kong and so on.

Korpi Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Oh yeah, I just love old/older consoles and retro gaming. Playing Game Boy, SNES, N64 and Playstation 1 with friends and family.

Capricornus Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 I grew up with Sega Genisis, where Sonic became my favorite video game character of all time, and also where my love for the color Blue started. Also with the SNES, The Playstation, and N64. Sega Saturn I guess as well, even though I only really played the good but underrated "Clockwork Knights" game.

xI Jakk Ix Posted January 7, 2012 Share Posted January 7, 2012 My first console was a PS2 which I got when I was about 7 (I think) and got NFS Underground. Got every NFS game for the PS2 but nowadays they're awful. They were nothing special though, the game I suppose I grew up with was the Ratchet & Clank series, which I would still be playing if I hadn't chose 360 over PS3.
