So a bunch of my friends are getting together for a few days to have a massive gaming marathon. The idea is to play the games in the order we played them, sort of a brief history of our gaming lives, occasionally punctuated by a few movies and/or sleep. This is the basic equipment we bring to this 3-4 day extravaganza.
An Atari 2600, 1 still working (sometimes) NES, 4 Gameboys, a Genesis and an SNES, 2 N64s, 1 PS1, 2 PS2s, 2 Xboxes, 2 Gamecubes, 3 Gameboy Advances, 2 Nintendo DSes, 1 Wii, 2 360's and a PS3. Also everyone is bringing a laptop for reliving classic Computer gaming (Thank you, virtualApple.com) and the occasional GameFaqs visit.
Our other tech includes 1 TV with appropriate connections to work with the Atari, and 4 Vizio Flat Screen TV's for everything else, as well as a Bose soundsystem for music/movie sound and a Pizza Delivery place on Speed Dial. The game list is currently being compiled, a lot of them will be full playthroughs, hence our need for multiple TV's in order to get all of this done in the time we have allotted.
Suppose you had a party where 6 or more of your friends were going to have a similar extravaganza. What games would you insist were included? What is your gaming autobiography? To help you get started...
What was your first gaming experience?
Which Game do you think made you an addict?
What Gaming Platforms did you have regular access to, and in what order?
Which Games did you get into well after they were popular?
If you were to replay your favorite game of all time right now, would it have aged well?
Breakout on the Atari 2600 would be that game for you if you weren't so darned young. True, or very True?
