lordnergal Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I got into video games with an atari 2600 at about age 9 or 10. I wasn't allowed to go out much so spent most of my childhood playing Asteroids and Enduro racer to stay entertained. Then when I was 12 I was given the original 8-bit gameboy which I was practically glued to. My favorite games were Supermarioland, Tetris and an obscure Jap game called "Boomer's Adventure in Asmik World" which was about a pink dinosaur. To this day I still love that game :) I missed out on the Snes and PSX generations of gaming, but friends would let me play on theirs' sometimes. Or I'd go into the arcades (anybody still go to those places?). I did some catching up when I discovered the joys of emulation, however. Recently I acquired a used Gamecube with a controller that looks like a rottweiler mistook it for a toy (read: beat up). I purchased it for the sole reason of playing FE. But I also acquired RE4, Viewtiful Joe and waiting on RE:Remake which I'm told is worth playing... But that's it, pretty much. My 3 gaming machines, were an atari 2600, gameboy and a gamecube :)...

Rei Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I started with the Nintendo when I was around 5-6 years old. I played TMNT1-3, Blades of Steel, and Contra primarily with my brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_____ Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I was stuck with GameBoys (I have the original, the Color, the Advanced, and the SP) until I got the original Playstation. I was fairly young at the time, so I stuck with Crash Bandicoot and Spyro primarily. I got a Playstation 2 for Christmas after a while and kept playing that for quite a many years. I got a DS Lite when it came out, though my younger brother had had a DS for a while, and then I eventually got a Wii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Tarrasque Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 Age 4, my cousin had an NES so I was able to play it quite often. I remember mostly playing duckhunt, Super Mario, Batman and the 2 Zelda games. The first console I owned was N64 and I got it with Turok... awesome game.

Judge Judy Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I think I was six years old when I recieved my first console sega mega drive. Since then I got addicted to gaming =D Then N64 came with the best games! Zelda, Golden Eye and Mario! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Envoy of the Beginning Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 My first console was the NES (I was three when I started playing it). I got a good amount of gaming from it, but got a ton more from the SNES with all kinds of games (Super Metroid, various Mario games, Zelda: A Link to the Past, and numerous others).

Zanarkin Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) nes I was about three years old and can't remember much about it. Snes a great one. Loved to play Super mario world and dkc Then sega played sonic tmnt, alddin, a game with characters much like the looney tunes Ps1 great games too played them in a friend house.

Wist Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I used to watch my friend play games on his SNES (the only game I remember watching is Earthworm Jim but there were a couple of others), and then I played some games with him when he got a Nintendo 64. I wasn't allowed to have my own console, but I was able to get a Game Boy Color woth Pokemon Yellow for Christmas by begging madly. My mother eventually let me get a GameCube provided I pay for it (this was when I was twelve I think). At about that same time I started to get my father interested in StarCraft (a game he let me buy probably because it was cheap). Playing games became perfectly acceptable in both households after that. I dumped a lot of time into Pokemon Yellow (and subsequently the other generation one and two Pokemon games) and StarCraft when I was a kid because I didn't have many other games. I still play both games, they have a very strong and personal nostalgic pull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Rabbit Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I played the first NES zelda at the age of 3. ._. I was better at it then than I am now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just call me AL Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 (edited) Super NES, playing TLOZ: A link to the past. The very first Zelda game I have ever played, let alone the very first video game I have ever played just happened to be arguably one of the very best. I'm just better at it now than I was when I was five years old. Edited November 6, 2008 by Little Al Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Relinquished Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 everything began with MK64. I always ranted because i was always losing :) then it was starfox 64, goldeneye 007 and star wars shadows of the empire. i gotta say, i'm lucky to have played those games before so i can play them again in actual time.

Saint of Swords Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I started with a Sega Genesis and a NES, mostly playing sonic, mario, and zelda. I eventually got a N64 (which blew my mind), and eventually a GCN, PS2, DS Lite, PSP, and Wii. I have to say N64 had the best games...Ocarina of Time, Majoras Mask, Mario, star fox, all the racing games, and even Kirby was pretty good . plus there was smash bros. I had a lot of fun back then. @Black Sun: Did you play part 1 or 2 of shadows of the empire? I played 2, but never won it <_< . my brother did though.

Solanum Tuberosum Posted November 6, 2008 Share Posted November 6, 2008 I started with a gameboy color, and had a crappy game about the Tazmanian Devil, got Pokeymanz Gold Version, then I had fun. After that, I mainly played on my GBA, PS2 and GC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relinquished Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 theres the first and then theres the sequel. i've played Shadows of the Empire on the N64. So that means that i've finished part 1, but not part 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microwavefriendly Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 before i was born my older brothers were playing the NES, so i grew up watching them play mario 1-3 and the zeldas. around two or three i started playing. and sega never had anything on nintendo back in the day. the Super Nes was the golden age of video games. Link to the Past, Super Mario Mario, Final Fantasy 4&6, the first 2 Breath of Fire games, Contra 3, Yoshi's first solo game, NBA Jam, the Actraiser games. Mario Paint! The system is undeniable. not to say other systems that have come since don't have good games (Mario 64 revolutionized 3d). But let's be serious, nintendo doesn't release as many quality and hit games as they once did. it's sad, we probably see another Zelda or Mario game for at least three to four years. Good games, for any system actually, just don't come out so often any more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGV Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 I cant quite remember when I got into video games because it was so long ago. I guess I could say that a few friends has the old school NES and I liked it. My first system was the SNES and it continued from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tingle Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 Started with SNES. I was awesome at Killer Instinct, Super Mario World, and Mario Kart. Then I got All-Stars, which was a collection of EVERY Mario platformer released before then, which was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
