How old were you

[Danuve]

I was 4 years old when I was introduced to the Atari.

I can't even remember... but I think my first game was on a computer with Windows 3.x . I remember it didn't even have a desktop. I think the first game I played was Rayman... or some game on my cousin's Sega Saturn (methinks Sonic).

I can't remember, I have very little memory of my childhood.

I was 4 years old when I was introduced to the Atari.

what games do you remember playing on it?


as for me:

amstrad when i was about 4 which my dad got off some dude at work



had a bunch of crappy games, none of which stand out in my memory.

BUT ... i was totally blown away when

my uncle gave me his sega megadrive and the game Truxton



laugh if you like but this game WAS the game for me. i played it nonstop on friday nights and saturday mornings (the only time my parents would allow me to play on the sega). my uncle also gave me a couple of joysticks which were even cooler to use than the normal pads for an arcade shooter. id be fixated in front of that game for hours, often gripping the joystick so hard that ridges would form in the skin on my hands where it was moulding itself to the seams in the plastic.

i remember when i first completed it too. took me about a year of playing it to finally beat the game (on easy) and i got so overexcited that i couldnt stand still for about 5 minutes, i was full of adrenaline and childish exhuberance... then came the heavy realisation that the game would never be as fun again since id completed it and also the ENDING ****ING SUCKED.

Twas defeat in the arms of victory. a most melancholy day indeed.

a philosophical cookie to whoever can answer this question:

Was Duke Nukem ever a side scroller game?

Mine I was really young maybe 5 or 6, the first SNES game I owned was Mighty Max, and got all my NES stuff from my step bro.

I don't have that good of memory to recall how old I was when I played my first video game. Maybe 7-8, It was the beginning of the end though for sure. I remember I played some DOS games like tanks and the little gorillas that throw bananas kind of like gunbound style, you try to hit the other gorilla with your banana. I also had a Sega Genesis(eventually CD) and a SNES, played all kinds of games on them.

4-5 and the first game was... Simon the cat? or w/e it was called. The black and white cat... man that game was cool

OMFG I absolutely love that game! But I played Jackrabbits, with Jazz's cousin Spazz. I used to play coop all the time with my buddy at the daycare centre I went to, then I bought it and played with him at home. Bomb spamming on the last boss owned him.
