Your first gaming memory

[duckfi8]

Duck Hunt for the NES

 

[NghtmaresXNoVaKaiNe]

Killing Dinosaurs in Nanosaur.

Demz was good times.

Not my first memory, but that game was alot of fun.

Toy Story for the Sega Genesis. That game was stupid fun, still is...

I remember when I was young, playing Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt on my NES, along with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, occasionally Castlevania, and also some football game where I'd be the Cleveland Crunch since it was made during the era the Browns weren't around, so I want to say I was 6-8 years old.

My favorite memory of gaming is the Christmas me and my sister each got a gameboy color and I got Pokemon Silver Version.

 

[Gorrister]

Micro Machines on the Sega. Goddamn that game was good.

 

[mikecoulter]

PS1 Demos and Crash Bandicoot. Oh sweet, sweet memories!

 

[MayOrMayNotBeMurloc]

The Original Sonic game. I just remember everyone i talked to having trouble on the robotnik for Labyrinth zone haha. They didnt seem to realize you just had to make it to the top, and not actually fight him haha.

 

[AlanShore]

Space Quest IV.

God, I miss when point-and-clicks were fun. They just don't make good ones anymore :/

Same here. I absolutely loved the Sierra adventure games, even though you seemed to die every other step and never see it coming!

My first memory was getting an Amiga 500 for Christmas when I was 4 and playing RoboCod. The product placement in that game was absolutely shameful.

Probably Pong at one of my relatives houses on thanksgiving or xmas. Some time in the late 70's if I recall properly.

My first gaming memory was Wolfenstein 3D when I was about 7. My parents failed at hiding it.

EDIT: wait, something about camels/llamas i think, can't remember what it was called.

 

[William Dickbringer]

hmmm crash bash for the playstation sure it was a party game but I remember playing this game with my friend all the time that and crash's racing game forget what it's called I think it's called crash racing or something like that

 

[Tartarga]

It was a game called Gyro Boy. You moved around on a hover board shooting robots. I loved that game.

 

[jjofearth]

either my elder brother dying in Prince of Persia, or Barnacles in Half-Life.
I'm quite young.

 

[DocGrimm]

Playing Super Mario Bros. 3 with my dad. We still break out the nes and play a few levels when i go to visit, the classics never get old.

Space Quest IV.

God, I miss when point-and-clicks were fun. They just don't make good ones anymore :/

Space Quest 6 was my fav! I remember the Termenator was in the basement of a bar and would turn you inside out if you didn't LEAVE NOW! Those were great! I actually found a collection at FYE for about ten bucks. Had 1-6. I wonder why they stopped making them? They were popular at the time.

I actually bought the collection from Amazon not long ago myself. I used to have 4-6 separately (5 was on floppy disks D, but lost 'em all. I'm kind of impressed with myself that I didn't just pirate them, actually :V

They stopped making them due to some combination of executive meddling (point-and-clicks as a genre were dying by then, apparently, though there was a seventh game planned) and Scott Murphy (the programmer for all the games but 5) quitting Sierra.

6 was awesome too. 4 (the one I named :V) was actually kinda dark (though I loved it anyway), which is apparently because Scott was getting sick of making them, if memory serves.

I dunno, though--6 seemed like a good ending to the series even so. Roger went out like he came in, y'know? A bumbling space janitor who somehow makes good

True, I coudn't ask for a better ending. Ha-ha, fish... Oh how time flys.

Crash Bandicoot, falling down a pit

Ahh, those were the days.
Though pretty much everyone and his brother started making point-and-clicks toward the end, right? Including some really god-awful ones, if memory serves.
Especially Myst. Seriously, what the hell was that D:<

...is everyone who remembers point-and-clicks older than I am? o.o

Indeed.

We have seriously quoted until I have lost my place. maybe we sould open a post on old point-and-cick games. Seems that there are several here who are interested.

Treasure Island Dizzy on ZX Spectrum, so awesome. The five minute load time was worth the wait.
