What is your earliest gaming memory?

[Seal89999]

Oh yes now I rember my old days with the Wolfenstein 3D. That was a great game!

[HasimirFenring]

Well, that'd have to be SNES Super Mario Cart, Final Fantasy III, Super Metriod or the Mega Man games.  So cool.  Still play them.  Anyone know Rock and Roll Racing?

[mordusxxx]

[Megashrap]

Other than the arcade games astroids,defender,robotron think I was around 10 or so, but when I finally got NES Super metroid was the game that got me hooked for awhile.

Me and my brother got a NES for Christmas one year when it was first out.

Came with the gun for Duckhunt and also Super Mario 1.

NES was the good old days.

Games now don't seem to be able to entertain me for more than month. While Nes games did for years.

[bryorama]

how old were you?

Hmm. 7-8 years old. As I'm 12 right now.

[quoudam72]

X-com: Ufo the enemy unknown (or something like that, I'm not sure about the title.. :-[ ) when I was five or six.

I still have that game found it at a bargin maybe three years ago it came in a collector's edition double CD good game.

@Gunwounds I do not remember how old I was when I started playing Asteriods but neither you or me are spring chickens at the quarter of a century mark.

[Dunenewt]

Doom, Wolfenstein (and SoD), and Dune II from when I was about 4.

[Khan]

Perhaps I'm the "elder" enough.  :P

[Khan]

Nah, these days they are too complicated, give me Quarantine over Doom 3 any dat.

[quoudam72]

Battlezone with the tank and Tempest I ruled those games in the arcade.

[Terror]

Hmm for me the earliest gaming memory was the MSX computer, though i don't know the names of those games anymore. But that was truly dated.

First memory of PC games:

Lemmings

Raptor

Dune2

Lost Vikings

Wacky Wheels

other stuff by apogee mainly, forgot many of the names

i was like about 9 years old then or so. Not sure

[veK]

Tetris & Super Mario Land @ GameBoy

Mario Bros @ NES

I was about 7 years old back then...

[NHJ BV]

Frogger

Round 42

Pacman

Keen 1&2

When I was 4, maybe 5, on a XT 8086 :)

[DukeLeto]

Ah, anyone remember the IntelliVision?  I  loved those games:  Astrosmash, Frogger, and of course, Biplanes!

[Andrew]

Is Biplanes when there is the two planes that take off and fight each other?

There is a divider in the middle a bit? And clouds at the top?

Best game ever

[GUNWOUNDS]

you guys ever play that D & D style game where there was no graphics... it was just words?

[Terror]

hah text based adventures. They still exist. Though not great in number they are usually quite big but hard to manage. They do have a certain own funny style because it leaves it all up to your imagination. But it is indeed with commands like.. move south, attack troll, steal key.. etc. etc. .. usually you have to find the commands out yourself. That takes time.

[Dude_Doc]

I remember the first computer game I played: Star Trek 25th Anniversary. Still have it.

First game ever? I don't really remember. I do, however, remember that I played a lot of Super Mario World, I used to hire the SNES and a game for some days, and wow, it was really great.

[lowzeewee]

Oh, I also played Xargon, the old DOS game where you shoot your projectiles from the hero's belt and follow a storyline...it was really cool...till today I still find the gameplay cool.

[Dragoon Knight]

Playing Sonic 1 on the Sega MegaDrive (Sega Genesis to all you Americans / any other country that applies).  I must have been about five or six... the MegaDrive was pretty new, so about 1991 or 1992.  I set the console up in my dining room, and started playing.  And playing.  Didn't stop playing until dinner time.  It was Christmas, and there was no way I was missing out on Christmas dinner.  So about 7 solid hours of 16-bit goodness.

Of course, I sucked at first.  Got stuck on that thrice-damned Labyrinth Zone.  Is it just me, or was Robotnik in Act 3 one of the most annoying bosses in the entire game?  You know, when you have to hit him 8 times while constantly jumping ever upwards to avoid being drowned by the rising water?  And there's spikes and blocks everywhere, trying to block your way and kill you?

I still hate that zone...

[bryorama]

Sounds scary..  :O
