Super R-Type. I was about 5 I guess.
R Type was such a good game
I just bought the 1 + 2 collection on Steam for like 5 bucks.
It’s CRAZY how many hundreds of dollars I blew on R-type as a kid and now I can play it forever for less than I’d spend in one day at the arcade.
LOVED the techno organic feel, stuff of nightmares but it felt so good to blow it all up.
I’ll start: my earliest memory is playing Cool Croc Twins with my big brother on his Commodore 64. I also remember watching him play Shinobi or The Last Ninja (although both games look entirely different, I can’t say with any certainty which one it was).
Super Mario Bros. on NES
Xmas ‘85 was magical!
Same here!
Same, but on Gameboy Colour
Same! The Mario and Duckhunt combo.
That’s the one we had! I still have that zapper somewhere…
Super Mario Bros 3 on a secondhand SNES, there was this jump on the first level that I struggled with, the one with the wooden textured blocks and I had to get either my mom or my dad to help me with it hahaha
Zelda Orcarina of Time!
Mine was a baseball game on an Atari 2600. Couldn’t tell you more than that, my granpa was super into baseball and tech so he bought an Atari brand new. We dug it out years later and played.
Wow! What year was this??
Would have been around '93 or '94. I wasn’t very old.
Commodore 64 for me as well. Can’t remember which one was the first for me either. Maybe Giana Sisters or Usagi Yojimbo. We had tons of floppies with games and large printouts showing which game was where.
Nice! My big bro had the cassette for the C64, no floppy drive. Ahh… memories.
When my father got a new computer I got to have the C64 in my room, along with an old TV as a monitor, which I was only allowed to use for the computer. My brother tried to warn my parents that I would just get an antenna cable and use it to watch TV but they didn’t believe him.
Of course I did get the cable and through the way our in-house cabling worked I could also watch what my brother watched on his VCR. I really miss his BMX videos, they were great. That way I was also able to watch the Street Fighter 2 anime when I was much too young.
Good times.
Combat on Atari 2600.
Here I thought I was ancient because it was combat. Seems like there are many of us old farts around here.
Same here. Either that or Missile Command, I got both at the same time and I just don’t exactly remember for sure.
earliest memory is of the Nintendo 64, but it’s a blur to me whether i played Crash Bandicoot, Goldeneye, Banjo Kazooie, or Mario Kart 64 first. Probably Mario Kart because we had the steering wheel attachment and that’s irresistible to kids.
I’m a young millennial so for me it was either Spyro the Dragon or Super Mario 64. I was born in the era of 3D gaming!
Dangerous Dave on DOS, must have been in the early 90ies somewhere. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dangerous_Dave
Pong.
Altered Beast for the Sega Genesis.
“WISE FWOM YOUW GWAVE!”
“WELL-COME TO-YOUR-DOOM!”
Never got past like the 3rd level.
If we are talking about my own games it was either sim city 2000 or Hey You Pikachu! On the N64 but prior to that ive played bouts of mario kart on the SNES or the very early Microsoft Flight Simulator at other peoples houses.
Maga Man X on the SNES. I still vividly remember the first time I ever beat a boss in it, too. I remember running out of my room to look down the loft to the living room area and screamed to my mom that I finally beat Chill Penguin. She wasn’t impressed. I immediately went back to my room and beat another boss. Then another. After probably a couple of years of just dying over and over, something clicked that day, and I was able to beat all the bosses. And I have been hooked on gaming ever since.
