Playing E.T. and realising it sucked, I was 6 or 7, I think, and even then I knew what crap was.
Keystone Capers, River Raid, and Super Break Through(out maybe?) at my cousins house when I was three or four. Then he gave me the 2600 and I played a bit of Combat Barnstorming and a few others. Thats as early as I can remember.
Z-roe
I think it was playing Vs Castlevania at a Chuck-E-Cheezes when I was about 6 or 7. My mom had to help me play, and we died pretty easily. I think that's the last time I've seen her play a game also.
If not that, then getting an Atari 7800 with Pole Position II for Christmas in 1987 is the first.
When my buddy down the street brought home this newfangled thingy called PONG.
Life as we knew it changed forever.
I remember my father holding me up to play a Popeye arcade machine in the Collegeville, PA ACME store. Must have been the early 80's.
Two other interesting memories are playing a Vs. Castlevania machine in a Florida pancake house (?) around 1987 (Disney World vacation) and a Haunted Castle machine in a rec center during a North Carolina trip in the early 90's.
Oh, and I still remember missing a center field pop fly in Little League because I had the astounding Phantasy Star II intro music looping in my head. My father / coach then told me to get my head out of my ass or somesuch.
Smurfs, Colecovision :) Good times.
NES.. mario bros, tmnt, kung fu, contra.. very good times :)
For an Ikari Warriors game that truly sucks, I'll give the Dishonorable Mention to Ikari III: The Rescue. SNK ruined that one by patterning its game play after Seta's DownTown (another game I hated). Rather than cutting loose with guns, you generally punch and kick through the levels. When you do find a gun, you only get 12 rounds. The jump button makes things a bit awkward as well.

Yeah, but look at the two NES games that came before it. ANYTHING was an improvement on those, and thus Ikari III was the best of the series. :sweat:
