mine was snafu on intellivision. i think i liked it because it reminded me of the light cycles from tron.
I remember intellivision. I played pit fall. God damn that makes me feel old
remember sears arcade systems? i think that was their knock off of intellivision. white/cream color, and i think its controllers could actually be unplugged.
Intellivision here too. Never did get through a full 50 rounds of Tank Battle
Atari 2600! Dragster, Centipede and Pac Man!
Got 'em all on RetroPie these days too.
Pitfall, Yar’s Revenge, River Raid.
Still vividly remember the day I saw and plated Space Invaders (1979) for the first time. I was walking home from primary school and there was a new machine, that Was Not Pinball!, in the arcade (called pinball parlours then).
I watched for about 30 minutes while I waited my turn, played 2 games and was hooked and still am 45 years later.
It was a Sinclair ZX81, which I built from a kit with my brother. I was astonished when it actually worked.
It came with a tape which included about 6 games in BASIC - all extremely simple since they had to fit in 1k of memory, of course. I can’t actually recall what they were exactly though.
I remember it even had a ‘flight simulator’.
Atari, tanks
Atari: Tanks, Pong, Pole Position, Frogger, Pitfall, Pac-man, Megamania, Donkey Kong
I remember playing Joust on the Atari 2600. We had a little black and white TV to play it on.
Crash Bandicoot on the original PlayStation. I sucked at it then and still do lol.
I was scarred by the OG Crash and it took a long time to convince myself to buy the remastered version. The time it took to go for platinum still haunts me :D
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.
A NES at a cabin with gems like excitebike, megaman, paper boy, rush n attack, and tetris.
mega man 2 was one of my favorite games on nes. first mega man before i got mmx on snes. never had tetris for nes, but we had some game called klax.
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.
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!
Mine was an IBM 286 system. Played Commander Keen, Jill of the Jungle, Duke Nukem (1)… It was magical.
Super Mario Land on the original Gameboy.
I invested so much time in this game as a kid and when i replayed it some years ago i was shocked at how short it actually is…
i was put off by it myself because of the graphic style. i beat it but liked mario land 2, and wario land more.
GTA San Andreas on the PS2! (Barely remember it though because I was a smol wee little boy)
Other than that, Skyrim! This freakin game introduced me to the wonderful world of Bethesda Games! ❤️
Edit: Boy, there are many people here with decades of experience. I’m just 21, guys, don’t make me feel left out 🥲
deleted. double post.
ok apparently not double post.
i had gta3 up to san andreas on ps2 and pc. played a multiplayer mod for san an, glitchy but fun.
elder scrolls is fun. need to get back to daggerfall unity and finish it.
you dont have to feel left out. grab something like retroarch and dive in.
Got it! Thanks!
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.
