In the 80´s with Oric Atmos, my first computer. Then ZX spectrum, ah the day of joy when I bought extra 2k memory for it. And this:

We used to have this little Donkey Kong Jr. arcade machine. 

 

 

Here's me with my brothers playing it.

Anyone remember the time when you had a 42mb hard disk and you were like... the bomb?

[BroBear Berbil]

1994 or thereabouts, received a hand-me-down NES which didn't come with many games. Zelda, Zelda 2 (****** hated this game), and Ren & Stimpy. Didn't play it much.

 

Shortly after, I guess around 5 or 6, I got a SNES which I really consider to be the beginning for me. My first game on it was Mystic Quest and got Lagoon after that. It wasn't until games like Link to the Past, Secret of Evermore, Final Fantasy III (6), and the DK Country games that I really started to get into gaming though, and even then I didn't play all that much. I didn't even beat FF6 until I was around 11 or 12. Never had a big library of games for SNES. Some of what I didn't have, like Mario (hated), my cousin had.

 

I was in an afterschool care that turned into a daycare type of thing with trips to water parks and such in the summer, so gameboy and later GBA was where it was at. When Pokemon came around I was crazy for it, so I played it a lot.

 

Mostly skipped over N64 and Gamecube apart from a few standout games. PSX and PS2 were the golden age of consoles for me. I actually had a good sized library of games for these consoles which I actually played. Had an XBOX but only ever had like 4 games for it.

 

Around 13 I got my first PC, which got me into The Sims, which got me into The Sims Online, which got me into MMOs. I got EverQuest Online Adventures on my PS2, then moved onto FFXI. By the time I started playing WoW I really moved away from consoles. Got a 360, which I have only a little over a dozen games for, a Wii solely for Zelda and Donkey Kong, and never got a PS3.

 

Now I only have a Wii U from this current gen and I'll be 100% out of consoles when it gets phased out. These days I don't really play MMOs. I stopped WoW for good when Cata started and everything I've tried since has been short-lived. I've gotten too anti-social to look for a guild on my own and dungeon finders have kind of ruined meeting people. Play mostly single-player stuff on PC now and sometimes it feels like I'm gradually losing interest in games.

[Jock Cranley]

N64, Ocarina of time and Warcraft II for PC. Those were the games that really launched me into gaming.

[Bison]

Started since before I can remember, my sister said when I was 3 I was using my dad's PS1, playing Crash Bandicoot, Croc or Ratchet and Clank pretty much all the time. 

 

I got my PS2 in 2002 and I started playing everything I could get my hands on. My cousins owned a Game Cube and an N64, so I played some Perfect Dark on those, while my other cousins hate the Xbox, so I played Halo and Star Wars Battlefront 2 on there. Those were some of the best days of gaming for me.

 

I got a 360 a year after it came out and so Halo 2 and Halo 3 were how I spent my time. On the 360 I played Oblivion, Skyrim, CoD Modern Warfare 1&2, those were the major ones anyway. And 2 years ago I got my PC and the 360 faded into nothing for me. I play a fair bit of DOta and CS:GO on PC, as well as GTA. 

 

I just got my PS4 recently so I've been palying a fair bit of Bloodborne.

Started with the NES in the very early 90s; formative games for me during this point were Metroid, Super C (the little known sequel to Contra, which I never owned), Bionic Commando, The Guardian Legend, Ninja Gaiden II, and a bunch of others I'm not thinking of right now. I was bad at all of these games, beating relatively few of the games I owned, but I enjoyed them all anyways.

 

By the mid 90s, I had graduated to a PC, complete with two floppy drives, an arsenal of boot disks and one of those old modems that made all those goofy sounds. Mostly, I played RPG and point-and-click adventure games, as those games were not demanding in terms of reflexes and hand-eye coordination. I especially loved the Jagged Alliance and Quest for Glory games. Although I was terrible at shooters, I played the heck out of a few vertical scrolling schmups like Tyrian and Raptor: Call of the Shadows, and a few flight simulators like the Wing Commander series.

 

During this period the question of whether or not your machine could meet even the minimum system requirements of most new games was not a trivial one, and ours was frequently far behind (we skipped out on Windows 95, and for a while it seemed like every game required it). A lot of major games I ended up not getting until much later or not at all; the original Deus Ex is now one of my all-time favorites, but I actually never played it until 2011 in preparation for DX:HR. Many games were also buggy as hell and wouldn't run without tricky memory work-arounds or boot disks; I couldn't run Star Control 2 at all until it became available as freeware some time during the mid-2000s. Despite all the frustration, I remember that era quite fondly. The death of the adventure genre by the early 2000s was a sad (if possibly necessary) affair.

 

During my undergrad years I fell out of gaming for a spell; I don't think I got back into it until the original Mass Effect; with its sweeping cinematic style and a universe that recalled the classic space exploration games and space operas of yore, it sucked me back in, and while I can now recognize a lot of the series' numerous weaknesses, I'm always going to associate a certain sentimental value to that experience. The ME3 ending controversy brought me into contact with some people who were knowledgeable about a lot of pompous games crit-type stuff, which I had never really been interested in before. The result was that I became even more insufferable than ever before, and I haven't looked back since.

[In Exile]

I started with Prince of Persia (the DOS version), Commander Keen and - because I did not grow up in NA - Leisure Suit Larry (which is so insanely inappropriate in hindsight it's just... LOL) and Doom/Wolfenstein. 

[geth47]

First game I ever saw was Mario 1. 

 

I started playing at Arcades and then the Atari 2600. During the late 80s.

 

Later, a MegaDrive/Genesis (1991).

 

In 1993, a Super Nintendo and also an old NES.

 

By 1994 I had my first PC, but I rarely used to game on it. 

 

NeoGeo CD in 1995, later a Neo Geo MVS board as well. 

 

Then the Sega Saturn which became obscure after a while eclipsed by the ps1 (which I never had).

 

In 97 a Nintendo 64.

 

In 98 a Dreamcast. 

 

Then the PS2, that happened to be a PS1 emulator as well.

 

This is where I stopped in console history. After that, I´ve remained only on PC.

[Rawgrim]

Lets see...First game I ever played was Save New York, on the commodore 64. Followed by Last Ninja and Draconus. Played them at a friend's place. Hooked me bigtime. A year or so later I got my own C64 and played like mad.

 

Around 1990 dad bought a PC. It had a bootlegged version of Monkey Island on it, and it blew my mind. First game I ever played that had a proper story. Got hooked on Adventure games right away, and for years I played mostly that genre. Lots of LucasArts games, Sierra. Stuff like that. In between those I remember playing Hosage, Wings of Fur, Ski or Die, Ducktales, Street Rod, Lotus 3, Aladdin.

 

Wolfenstein hit the PC market somewhere during that time too, and I got hooked on the FPS genre for awhile as well. That was actually an amazing experience to see the FPS genre, and other games that used first person 3D gameplay spring to life. I think my dad got sick of all the gunshots coming from the computer room, so he bought me Ultima 7 for xmas one year.

 

My dad thought it was a game like Monkey Island and the like. He wasn't that far off, I guess. But it was probably the best gift I ever got for xmas when I was a teen. It hooked me on the rpg genre right away. Not surprisingly, really, since its arguably one of the best rpgs ever made. Betrayal at Krondor followed, and Might and Magic. During the late 90s things kind of slowed down. Rpgs started using those crappy early 3D models, and the magic vanished a bit. Untill Baldur's Gate came along, and I got severely hooked again.

 

Morrowind, Neverwinter, Kotor, and others followed. I also played the Jedi Knight games a lot, and Max Payne. Around 2006 or something I caved in and bought an xbox 360. I was sick of upgrading my computer, or turning down the graphics and whatnot in order to play new games. Never regretted buying the 360. I still have it and use it regularly. Last year I bought an Xbox One. Mostly due to several game series I have gotten hooked on coming out on the next gen. Not that happy with the One so far, to be honest. It basically treats the user like a criminal and an idiot.

 

 

Anyway. I seemed to run into the best games of the genre on the first attempt whenever trying out something new. It probably made me the spoiled, arrogant, opinionated gamer I am today, I am sure.

I started in the late 80's/early 90's with my brother's Sega Master System. He had Kung Fu Kid and My Hero, the latter of which I'm surprised didn't frustrate me to the point of quitting gaming before I'd even begun. It was Wonderboy that really hooked me, though. Not quite sure why that game in particular, as all three were the same basic game at their hearts. Then came Aztec Adventure, which I thought was the pinnacle of gaming.

We got an NES one Christmas. We weren't huge Mario fans, I don't even recall having the original Mario Bros, we had Paperboy, Amagon and Zelda 2, along with countless rentals and borrowed games. It was on the NES that I fell in love with RPGS. Ultima Exodus and Quest of the Avatar, Dragon Warrior, Final Fantasy... I know there are more that I'm forgetting. I was also a fan of games like Uninvited, Shadowgate and Maniac Mansion, despite also being terrified of them at the same time.

When we got a bit older, we went separate ways with our gaming consoles - my brother went with the Genesis, I went with SNES. While I think I got the better end of that deal as a whole, I did often steal my brother's Genesis to play Shining Force, which had become my favorite game ever rather quickly. Sadly, the game eventually stopped registering saves and could no longer be played unless you didn't turn off the console EVER. We looked around for a replacement, but it seemed that every copy of Shining Force nearby had done the same thing.

As for my SNES, I spent my days playing FFIV and VI, Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore, Soul Blazer, Earthbound, Chrono Trigger, Breath of Fire I and II... what a golden age that was.

The PS1 came next, and with it came a new genre for me to love - survival horror. I'd missed out on RE1 when it released, but RE2 blew me away. And then there was Silent Hill... while I did have an issue where I had to restart my game as it would crash EVERY TIME when trying to unlock a certain door, it didn't irk me enough to make me stop playing.
We had a rather varied collection of games for PS1- Bust A Groove, MediEvil, Mortal Kombat 4, Suikoden and Suikoden II, You Don't Know Jack, a bunch of Twisted Metals...

I'm not going to bother trying to list all the games I played for PS2, as there are too many. Notable are Timesplitters, the Onimusha series, the last of the good Silent Hills, and the Dark Clouds.

I had a Gamecube, mostly for Resident Evil. I had 4, Zero and the REmake. Then I was given Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance as a gift and pretty much forgot other games existed.

I got a Wii solely for PoR's sequel. It was worth it.

I got a Wii-U solely for replaying Earthbound. ...not quite as worth it, but hey...

I have a DS and a 3DS as well, but they don't see much play. I got the 3DS to continue 999's story, only to find out it doesn't end and probably WON'T end because not enough people bought those games.

At least there's Fire Emblem.

My most recent console purchase was a PS4. I had to upgrade sometime, and decided I'd come home to Playstation after having a short vacation with Xbox 360, which I'd chosen over PS3 because it was about 100 bucks cheaper. With the PS4, I could play Bloodborne, so it was a no-brainer. And I'd finally get to see what everyone was raving about with The Last of Us. I *am* a bit saddened I can't play the Deadly Premonition "sequel", Dark Dreams Don't Die, so I may get an Xbox One someday, just for that.

p.s. I play PC too come at me bru

[Cknarf]

My first system was the O.G. Sega Genesis. You know, the fat one. I was three years old in 1995, and I had three games.  Mortal Kombat II, Road Rash, and Sonic the Hedgehog 2.  My step dad mostly played the first two, but Sonic was my shiiiiit.

 

I used to get hella mad if I didn't get my Sonic before preschool.

 

The PS1 entered my life a short time later. My first game?

 

 

Yeah, baby.  I was too young to realize it was just a sampler disc lol.  It took me and my mom what felt like, a week to beat the demo level for Crash Bandicoot (Jungle rollers yeeaaah!).  When we finally beat it, we were like "What? thats it?"  

Crash Bandicoot was my first full game.  I never got very far past the first island until about fifteen years later lol.  I always had to have mom beat the 'boulders' level for me. Twisted metal came next, then Gran Turismo.  I was a huge GT nut. You know, back when they were still good.

 

(Insert hella awesome games and memories here)

 

I never owned an N64 until about 2004, but I basically lived at my cousin's house since he had one earlier. Mario Party 2, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye... Bad Fur Day and Smash Bros. Me and my cousin were hella into shooters, and we still are today. Rainbow Six probably had a hand in that. We felt like bad asses when we finally beat that on Elite difficulty.

 

Never owned the original Xbox, but I still played it a little.  Really got hooked on Forza Motorsport, and that was the whole reason I ended up with a 360.

 

I probably spent most of my time with a PS2. I liked the games just before everything had online multiplayer.  Red Faction one and Two are awesome for split screen multiplayer.  007 Nightfire was a good one too. (When the Multitap was working properly).

 

Xbox 360, PS3, yada yada.

 

Someone traded in a car, and left a working NES with all the good games a few years ago.  Finally got one almost 20  30 years after it's release.

 

Xbox one.

 

 

I have too many fond memories of gaming, especially the PS1/N64/PS2 to list.  I wish I had more time to post it lol.  God, those were some great times.

 

I need to bring the PS1 over to mom's so we can play some Crash Bandicoot sometime.

Yeah. I had bought a CD that had like 50 games in it! But all were demo crap. Do one mission and it's done.

Earliest memory was like mario bros the super Nintendo when I was like 4 or 5, that was probably around 94ish or something. But honestly, for me, my first real taste of gaming was 98' with Half Life and then in 99' with Quake 3 Arena. Amazing. I played Quake so much when I was a little kid, when all the other scrubs were playing their kiddie games I was building my first gaming pc and pwning n00bs in Quake. Aaaahhhh. Good times. I also remember my first xbox quite fondly and how amazing HALO CE was on it. That was also a revolution for me. And I remember getting my PS2 and playing Metal Gear Solid 3, I was probably around 14 or 15, but I remember playing that game and being like so impressed and happy to be a gamer.
