Death Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 My first gaming memory was playing the Super Nintendo back in '94. Mom bought me a Super Nintendo for my 3rd birthday I remember that it came in a bundle with The Flintstones and The Lemmings. I played The Flintstones for AGEEEES. Then later on in the year, Super Metroid came out and blew my little pants off. My uncle bought a Nintendo years before I was born and had the original Metroid and he was pretty blown away with Super Metroid as well. I remember my uncle used to come over just for that game and sit there playing it all while being as still as a statue except for the flickering of his eyes and thumbs. My mom would call him for some coffee, but he wouldn't respond. She would make me go up to him and ask if he wanted coffee, but he wouldn't respond. I'd come back and tell her that he wouldn't say anything so she told me to go up to the SNES and pretend to turn it off. My little hand was pretty much touching the power switch when he yells "DO IT AND WATCH WHAT HAPPENS." ...needless to say he didn't get no damn coffee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade_VC Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I was 7 years old I think it was when my Dad brought one of these home: A few year later, it was this wonderful device that hooked me on gaming ever since: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScreechingOwl Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Playing Sonic the Hedgehog. I don't know what console it was on, but it was a small cube, you could fit it on the palm of your hand, an adult hand, not a child's hand. I think it only played Sonic. I'm looking at variations of the Sega Mega Drive on Wikipedia but none of them are what I'm talking about. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

orenjikitty Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 One of my earliest gaming memories was the sight of my uncle wearing sunglasses in the middle of the night, playing Tetris on my dad's old Windows 3 computer. He and my aunt had a competition going on who can get the higher score and I woke up one night to find him like that. One of my own gaming memories is the first time I played with the NES at another uncle's engagement party. The kids were all put in the same room and we didnt care since we just wanted to play Duck hunt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingOctoberXVI Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Snow boarding kids 2 on the 64? It was around 99'. I'm pretty sure that was it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pipsqweek Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 My earliest gaming memory was when I visited my grandparents and my uncle had an Atari 2600 and he let me have a go on Pitfall. I think the first game I ever "owned" was the original Prince of Persia released in 1989. I played that every night until I could complete it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christopher Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 I distinctly remember Treasure Trove Cove as a kid from Banjo Kazooie. The shark scared me to death as a kid, I actually cried when it got to close to me once and my mum vetoed the game until I was older. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIDEWINDER_21X Posted February 22, 2012 Share Posted February 22, 2012 My first memory was playing James Bond: Nightfire on the PC. I will always remember than game as it was my first proper video game, which also probably got me into the FPS genre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paladin_lv1 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 It would either be Pong or Chopper Command for Atari. I can't believe how young most of you are or how old I am, but then again I think Wade has us all beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wish I still had my "patches" that I used to collect from the games...old school trophies...you had to take a picture of the screen with your high score on it and then mail it in to Activision. They would send you a collector patch back if the score qualified for their "Player's Club" for their game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is kind of fun to see people list Nintendo 64 games or newer as their earliest gaming memories. Could mean they are very young, or perhaps that they got into gaming later in life.

acasser Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I can remember playing Tank on my old Atari 2600 when I was a wee lad. I can also remember my father downloading computer games on an Apple IIe (when it was the premium PC on the market) from pirate bulletin boards.... and how exciting it was when we upgraded from a 300 baud modem to a 1200 baud modem, thus allowing us to pirate games four times faster. Which is to say, downloading something that took up an entire floppy disk (less than 1 megabyte by today's standards) went from needing 2-3 hours to needing 30-45 minutes. I feel old.

Paladin_lv1 Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Oh yeah, JOUST was great. So was Kaboom! Man...I loved Chopper Command...Activision used to make some kick ass games back in the day. I really wish I still had my "patches" that I used to collect from the games...old school trophies...you had to take a picture of the screen with your high score on it and then mail it in to Activision. They would send you a collector patch back if the score qualified for their "Player's Club" for their game. I wasn't old enough to be able to send in for patches or even know about them, but it is a pretty cool feature of the old nostalgic video gaming days.
