 |
I'm sure we all started gaming somewhere and had one particular console that got us interested into the whole experience. So, for you personally, which console was it?
I'd say for myself it was the Sega Mega Drive, I remember playing The Lion King on that thing for ages! I've recently been tempted to but another one for about £15 just because I remember how much I loved it when I was younger. Okay, so it may not have amazing graphics like the Xbox 360 or the PS3 but I thought it was awesome. I also loved the fact that if the game wasn't working you simply just blew into the game and it worked fine!
Please share you're early gaming experiences. =) |

Believe it or not, my first "video" game was on a mainframe at college: one of those RPG DnD games where you play a D and must move between dashes to kill Xs and try to find Zs or something like that. There were also text-based adventure games ("You see a lake, there is a bird singing" etc.) I hated those. I could never figure out what to do to accomplish anything and they drove me crazy.
Played some old Apple II stuff RPGs with real (pixelated) graphics. Then got a Mac (Powerbook 100), where I there were some good games (Robosport, SimEarth, M4 tank sim, King's Bounty).
Then I got a Gameboy as a gift --my one and ONLY console I've ever owned or played. There were a couple of strategy games for it that were okay,...
but
then I got a Power Mac and then 2 more Power Macs over the years, and who needs consoles, when you can have a Mac?

The old Atari system, I still remember playing "Tank" on it, and some game where you shoot down flying saucers, can't recall the name though.
I had a friend who had the original Pong game, I remember how amazing we thought it was at the time, lol.

My first console contact was probably the Atari 2600 as well. My first true gaming love was probably the Commodore 64 (actually 128, but I only ever really used it as a 64), then the Amiga and Sega Mega Drive.
Still got all my Mega Drive games, but they're in a box in the garage.  |

An NES that my dad had and gave to me. I had Mario and Duck Hunt (the combo) and actually a lot of other games that I can't really remember right now. I miss that console... it broke

First system I played on was an Atari but the first system I -owned- (wasn't shared between my brother and myself) was the old brick sized Nintendo Gameboy.

| My first one that I bought was the Sega Master System II which I totally adored. It came with Alex Kidd and I also bought Sonic with it. I remember being amazed at the graphics and at how fast it was lol. When I was much younger my parents bought me a Binatone, a Commodore Vic 20, Amstrad CPC464 and a ton of game and watch stuff. They were supportive of my gaming habits lol. |
