Earliest gaming memory?

[Psx]

My earliest gaming memory is definately playing tetris on gameboy, ah you guys make me feel young

I know I had played a NES a few times as a little kid, but no specific memories. Vague Duck Hunt recollections from my uncle's basement, but that's it. Only one that really stands out is when my brother got a Genesis for Christmas, the combo pack that came with Columns. My dad ended up buying him Road Rash and Mortal Kombat and stuff, and my mom went insane when she saw the game. I was allowed to play Columns (-only- Columns) and I spent all day on that thing once my brother fell asleep. A very fine Christmas haul that year.

Playing 'Dark Castle' on my parent's Apple II.

Cyborg Justice for Genesis,

I remember the summer I did stuff around the yard to earn enough money to buy that game. lol, I was so gay for robots as a little boy. I got the orginal sonic for the same reason, ROBOTS!

That game is such BS though. They let you design your own robot, but you can't past that huge fucking hole on the first level with out the super jump legs. The tank legs were the best because it made you look like a robojock.

Yea... actually the past week or two I have been hunting down Saturn and Dreamcast stuff, and have been like "dang nabbit why doesnt EB have any DC stuff! Saturn's not that old!".

then I realize it came out 11 years ago.

<--- old

what the fuck

I was talking to someone else about that the other day. Dreamcast was the last systems where games were allowed to just be games. When the DC died, it was like Sega, SNK, and the old Capcom all died at the same time. That was right around the time ECM told us we were all stupid, too.

the part of myself that is a gaming nerd died with the dreamcast. I still play games, but its just "meh" these days. Its not special. Its like "wake up, take a shit, play a game, eat food, whatever. "
