I remember I got a new computer for my birthday, but my dad made me put in extra ram that fried the motherboard. I was inconsolable. Despite that, when my dad got me a replacement, it wasnt anywhere as good as the rig he made me burn up... It was his fault! He told me to put that damn ram in there. I already had enough...

I used to love playing modded Jedi Outcast multiplayer. I had joined a guild and everything, but after that computer burned up they struck me from their ranks, because I had to wait for months to get a new PC.

I remember havig to sneak my first rated m game-half life. God that game was awesome and scary. And awesome. When I soon later found out about the orange box, I snuck that too. Damn my mom, I wanted to play good games.

Oh yeah, and I remember when she made us bust our guild wars disks in two because of the evil magic in them. My sister, who called it out, was the one of us who actually later finished the storyline of the game, including all of the expansions. That pissed me off. I do t even remember how she got them, but she did, and she played them. I was jealous of her, but also burned up about how she discussed her spiritual concern about playing a game with magic in it. So stupid that was. But yeah. I found out the game was still mine with the account and all, downloaded it again only a year after having had it taken away from me so cruelly and ignorantly. And she got back on and got the expansions, too. Grr.

Mine too. We had the system with the dual Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt cartridge. Still have the gun for that and everything.

I remember wanting a Nintendo so baaad

Super Mario World on SNES. I remember when I 5, unpacking the Super Nintendo and plugging it on the TV, it came with a lot of games and I played it first. It was the best, so much that some years later, I tried to convince my mom to NOT buy a PS1, but she did it anyway, because my brothers wanted it.

I've been playing video games since I was a toddler, so I can't remember exactly what my first game was. But in all likelihood, it was on the Atari 2600. It could have been Pitfall, or Adventure, or SwordQuest, or Raiders of the Lost Ark...

My definition of first game varies radically. I had four aunts under 30 and in my toddler years, I'd often watch them and or my Dad playing on an NES. The first game I played by myself was Pokemon Blue Version. I remember the summer job I took on in order to pay for both the game and gameboy®; assisting my veteranarian grandfather

My very first experience with videogames were with the Atari 3600. Was fun playing with and I still have it with many games.
Next one were Secret of Mana my first SNES game. Second game were Breath of Fire 2 my first SNES game with english text. It was good for learning english because uhm well how should I have beaten it without knowing what to do next.

First one for me? Mickey Mouse and the Castle of Illusion, for the older Sega model. Thing still works too, as it were! But the most memorable moment for me was when I got to work with the original PS1-got to play the original Tomb Raider, before they started changing it up so much...got stuck on the third level for half a year, whole family couldn't figure out where to go next...and then...pure chance. We had such an off-color screen, one of those HUGE tube TVs, and...well, I was so excited when I found where we needed to go! Fun times, such fun times...man, I miss that. I hardly get to game anymore, save for a little TF2 when I get lucky...otherwise it's watch my siblings play, while I get amused at how much they gripe about the (to them) horrible graphics I like so much for my older games.

Sonic the hedgehog 2, I loved the music and was just fun to explore the levels.

First game... it was either Pool of Radiance for the PC, or the original Super Mario Brother for the NES. Both were pretty early, though I'd have to peg Pool of Radiance as the more memorable one. It was my first RPG exposure, and it game with a protection key that was actually pretty fun to use in itself, this big huge wheel. I know the whole protection key is a toxic issue now adays, but that wheel actually made it feel like we were deciphering ancient runes to play the game, which for a fantasy game was pretty fun. It was also integrated an actual cipher for some of the in game runes.

Aside from trying to create the perfect team of six in Pool of Radiance ... I'd have to say my most memorable early gaming experience was Dragon Warrior III. It was the first Dragon Warrior game that let you build your party. The game was fun to power level, even if you could get in over your head when things went open world on you. Still, it was a fun game, and with the throwback connection Dragon Warrior it had a deep story for it's age even with an entire party of voiceless characters.

Of course, then they went 180 in the other direction and did Dragon Warrior IV. If Dragon Warrior III was fun because you got to build your party, IV was fun because everyone in the party was interesting. They all had character and some reason for being there, with the only weak reason being the merchant, but he had the most character of all. Honestly, running your own shop? That was fun. The story arc probably spawned the whole shop crazy we occasionally enjoy today.

Of course, then comes the Super Nintendo and Sega Genesis era, and while I enjoyed the Final Fantasies, Chrono Trigger, the Phantasy Stars, AND Lunar... but before that, my grandfather saw his kids interested in video games, so he looked around for the best... and the best just happened to be the TurboGraf. Of course, being the best isn't worth much if you're not priced competitively, but I got some good gaming memories out of that system. Dungeon Explorer (I & II), Neutopia II, and Loom... those are a class of games we don't see enough of.

Other than that... I remember being really psyched for Final Fantasy VII, and how that game alone influenced my families choice to go to the Playstation. Everyday before school I'd pop in the preview VHS that we got from I don't remember where, and just watched what was to come again. The game itself was of course memorable, but it was the way I managed to keep myself hyped up that formed the personal memories.

Other personal memorable moments... playing Mario 64 and Banjo and Kazooie on my now step sister's N64 was part of what told me that I actually enjoyed 3D platforming. Pity she didn't actually own Banjo, so we'd always loose progress on that one when it was returned to the rental. Of course then the Playstation 2 came along and we got Jack and Daxter and eventually Ratchet and Clank. Those where fun platformers.

Chip and Dale rescue rangers, as for most memorable, Sonic 2 I was a frequent of the hospital as a child and played it often.

Playing Pokemon Blue on gameboy color was the best thing ever.


The lamest game ever Dark Souls.... There ya go.

Sonic The Hedgehog On the Sega Genesis. :3

My first video game was Pong. This probably dates me.

First Game- Star Fox on the SNES XD
First game was a first impression of the industry and I fell in love with it. The controls were tight, the objectives were clear, and you got to play as a snugly, fluffy fox.

Most Memorable Game- Tie between Legend of Dragoon/FFVIII/ and Persona 3
Each game brought me an immense love for video games as well as keeping me enthralled with it's story and characters to the point where I everyday I had to know what happened next.
Take your favorite book and movie and combine it into a game and that's why I loved these games.

Best Game with the Worst Execution- Operation Darkness...
A game where you play a group of Supernatural characters (2 are werewolves), and the objective is to punch Hitler in the dick!
This game had so much potential in the dick-punch department, but it was just a sadly mediocre game.

Worst Game I've Ever Played- Haunting Grounds (PS2)- This game committed the ultimate sin in gaming... IT... WAS... BOOOOOORIIIING!!!!!!! I played for 5 hours and saw 1 enemy in those 5 hours. Boring Story! Boring Characters! and just a Boring Game!

Also, Redrodent, what do you think about this game being produced? You get to play as a squeaky little mouse XD

The first game that was truly mine was Mario Kart 64 for the Nintendo 64. I got the system for Christmas in 1996, along with that game. I might have gotten a few more, but I remember making my parents set it up on the living room TV so I could play. I had so much fun with that game, and it's still fun to play even today.

Tetris for NES. I loved that game. Played it for hours on end sometimes.
I also had Super Mario and Duck Hunt. Kiwi Kraze was also one of my favorites.
I remember Yoshi's Story for SNES, as well as Claymates, and Uni Racers.
Banjo Kazooie and Tooie from N64, Starfox 64, Mario 64, and 007 Goldeneye.

I remember my sisters and I getting an Atari 2600 for Christmas which came with the games "Combat","Adventure" and "Video Pinball" we played those three a lot, but mostly "Adventure".

Who lets a 4 year old play super mario and face that very first goomba all by himself!? Timing my jumps was the hardest thing ever for me, so I quit games for 3 years only to fall in love with sonic 2.

Legend of Zelda, waaaaaaaay way way back. I remember I was very young, like 2 or 3, but that's about it. I have played an atari system though, that was fun :3 Think I've still got it somewhere..

aww gee, the first game of a game collector is hard to pinpoint.

I very briefly had an NES, and the most memorable game I had for it was Friday the 13th. I remember that I was able to play it up until my first encounter with Jason, at which point I freaked out and scrambled across the room to quickly turn the system off before he could get me. ^^

I was like 3.

the NES broke down a few weeks after that, and it was a few months later before we got our first real permanent game system a sega genesis.

from there my first real game experience was Sonic 2. I always enjoyed the vibrant colors and fast gameplay. Although I wasn't very good at it. It took me the longest time to gain the coordination to get past level 2. ^^;

My parents had an NES and SNES when I was born. The first system bought for me was a Gameboy Color with Donkey Kong Land 2.

<.< >.> Er... *ahem* PONG ! Yeah, the very first video game. Though I liked playing POPEYE and Ralph the Wolf in RAMPAGE

Oh nice, what did you play Rampage on?

Actually I played it at the video arcade

My very first game was the original Duke Nukem. As in, the side-scroller where Duke takes on the robot army of Dr. Proton because the ultimatum for Earth's surrender interrupted his soap operas.

Sonic the Hedgehog was my first real gaming experience. He freaking was and still is my hero to this day.
