Pong, I liked it. I didn't realize that it was home console. I realized Atari 2600 as home console. I played Combat, Superman, and Spider-Man on Atari 2600 at the hospital.
Most def. the PS, N64 and Gamboy Color combination. It was Spyro, Crash & Marvel vs Capcom on the PS, Mario Party, Mario 64 and Banjo Kazooie on N64 and Pokemon Yello for Gamboy Color.
PS1 and crash bandicoot about 10 years ago. We also had symphony of the night but that game scared me and I always died at/right after the first boss fight... (not dracula).
My parents had an Atari 2600, I played River Raid for hours. Then came Adventure, and all of the sub-par sports games (but they were sports dang it!) that you could imagine.
So between that and a stand up Pac-Man game and a cocktail table Galga game at the local pizza place we went to, that's where my love for gaming started.
Basically my entrance into really caring about video games started when my parents bought me a Super Nintendo back when I was maybe 5 or 6. The first video game I really ever played was probably Donkey Kong Country. I would sit for hours and hours just engrossed in it. From there, I moved on to games like Super Mario World, F-Zero, Super Mario All-Stars, and Tetris Attack. I wasn't really old enough to appreciate the RPG's for that system, but I did play alot of Zelda: Majora's Mask for the Nintendo 64 a few years later. From there, I been playing ever since.
For me it was the NES and Super Mario Bros. I had played and enjoyed the Atari 2600 prior to that, but it was SMB that made me a gamer for life.Galva-Gene
My first was the Playstation and that's what got me into gaming (though I played my neighbor's N64 for about a year). I decided I wanted a Playstation instead and my first game was Spyro the Dragon.
Exactly the same here. I got a Genesis in '96, when they were growing a bit long in the tooth but still had tons of games available. I think mine was in a bundle with 2 controllers and Aladdin. I remember renting Mortal Kombat and other games from BlockBuster. I only had it a couple years and then wouldn't own another console 'til 2006.
My mom bought me a Sega Mastersystem with Double Dragon. I remember my dad hooking it up and he had to 'test' it, and I didn't get to play for a couple of hours. Finally when I got my chance, I was hooked. I use to play that game repeatedly and beat it multiple times a day. It's still the best version of Double Dragon out there, and that's the game/console that got me hooked. LONG LIVE THE SEGA MASTERSYSTEM!!!!
