Your childhood games

[Dark Ruler]

I remember that day when I was 3 and my brother was 5. It was my brother's birthday, and my mother gave him a Sega Genesis with Sonic 2. That was the first game of my life. Then we started to buy many others, like Cyborg Justice, X-Men 2, Exo Squad, Sonic & Knuckles... After many years the console started to have problems, and that was when I found the emulators. Thanks to them I was able to enjoy those games. Talk about Your childhood games.

I used to play Commondo, Gyruss and California Games like crazy back when I had my commodore 128.

Technically I started with the Atari 2600. The NES is what really made me a gamer though. SMB, Kung-Fu, Duck Hunt, and Gyromite were the first games I owned.

NES for me too. I loved Gyromite, I only got to play it as a rental though. I wanted my parents to buy it for me at a used store, but the store didn't have the robot to go with it. I told the people at the store I wanted it anyway(because I could use a second controller), and the people still wouldn't let me buy it because they said it was unplayable without the robot. Idiots.

Yeah, managing the robot was a pain in the ass. I'd just set the second controller on my lap and hit the appropriate button when I needed to.

'course, most of my time was spent crushing the poor professor.

I first got an Atai 2600, than a NES, Ninja Gaiden 2 and Megaman 3 are my favorite
NES games to this day, i traded Elevator action and the secret of the black manta for them, goos memories.

When I was a child I didn't have much in the way of video games, aside from a few PC games that came with our sound card, and a few educational games. Aside from that, mostly the only gaming I did was a couple times a year or so I would play a friend's NES and play Super Mario Bros. (that was sooooo high-tech for me, even though the NES was like 10 years old). I didn't really get into gaming until the winter of 98/99 (I had just turned 12 at the time) when my friend and I rented a N64 and Super Mario 64. (After playing nothing but a couple ancient 2D titles, it was very astounding!) I was hooked and the next spring I got my own N64.

Started with a PC, my first game was the excellent prince of persia. I got street fighter 1 as well, which was rubbish.
Shortly after that I got monkey island, which I loved, and then I got a nes, with the SMB/Duck hunt double pack. the game I liked most on the nes was probably SMB3 or Zelda 2. Megaman 3 was bloody hard back then(it's still bloody hard... ).

 

[revl8er]

I started playing games like pong and pacman on the atari 2600. What truely made me a gamer was the NES though, I remember playing Mario, Ninja Gaiden, Contra, Kung Fu. These are the things that kept me out of trouble as a kid, and I am glad that they were there.
