My earliest memory of gaming was back when I was in Kindergarten... Command and Conquer had just come out and I spent all of the time I could either playing it myself or watching my dad play it. I never got real far but I always had fun just watching all of the little guys and tanks blow stuff up.

When I wasn't in the mood for that, I played Wolfenstein 3d and then DOOM. At first, DOM scared the hell out of me but after a while I started to get over it and enjoyed blowing the heads off of the little critters that, at the time, had just recently become the stuff of my nightmares.

Watching the castle eat the queen in battle chess, and her high-pitched shriek in like 2 bit sound. God that was awesome.

dear gawd that was funny. My favorite was the scream of the pawns when the queen vaporised them.

LOAD "*",8,1

"Another Vistor! Stay a-while, staaaaay FOREVER"

Dang, I spent some hours on that game. Impossible Mission was an accurate title! I note you had a 5 inch Floppy drive too. I had to resort to RUNSTOP - RESTORE to load mine. On tape. Which took 15 minutes. With a 70/30 Success rate. And people moan about 30 second loading screens nowadays, eh?

 

[treehead]

little big adventure 2

 

[Ultimateslayer]

I thought about it and my conclusion is so fucking weird.
Its Wolfenstein 3D!!!!
I played it on my dads computer when I was three or four tops.
In the same months I got my first game boy and the Pokemon hype started.

I've been playing games since I was two but it was before I could remember my first game memory was finaly beating the second stage of the chemical plant in sonic 2 for sega at my cousins house.

OMG I FEEL YOU with that 70/30 success rate. Game didn't load? Load it again!

[taquito_sandywich]

Donkey Kong Country. still love that game.

 

[Jonathan Hexley]

Watching my brother play Crash Bandicoot on the PS1.
Good times.

 

[Lukeydoodly]

Terminator on the Nintendo I think.

 

[thedirtymex]

playing on the old brick Nintendo. A game about a boy and a white blob that would change shape when you fed him jelly beans. still remember the theme music.

"A Boy and his Blob"


The theme song almost sounded like Indiana Jones for a min.

It did at times... why don't they make quality games any more??? imagine what that game would look like once it was given the graphics of today. QUAL...E...TE game!

 

[anNIALLator]

Maybe Stealth on the NES, watching my brother play it and falling off the sofa if the plane crashed when he was trying to land it.

 

[TRR]

My earliest memory would have to be Sonic the Hedgehog 2, I never actually beat it, but I got real close.

 

[Life-as-we-know-it]

The final boss fight in Sonic 2 don't ask me how.

 

[Durgiun]

Tetris. Either that or Captain Claw on the PC. Or perhaps it was Hercules... Fuck.
