mine was snafu on intellivision. i think i liked it because it reminded me of the light cycles from tron.
Atari 2600! Dragster, Centipede and Pac Man!
Got 'em all on RetroPie these days too.
Pitfall, Yar’s Revenge, River Raid.
I remember intellivision. I played pit fall. God damn that makes me feel old
Intellivision here too. Never did get through a full 50 rounds of Tank Battle
remember sears arcade systems? i think that was their knock off of intellivision. white/cream color, and i think its controllers could actually be unplugged.
Still vividly remember the day I saw and plated Space Invaders (1979) for the first time. I was walking home from primary school and there was a new machine, that Was Not Pinball!, in the arcade (called pinball parlours then).
I watched for about 30 minutes while I waited my turn, played 2 games and was hooked and still am 45 years later.
It was a Sinclair ZX81, which I built from a kit with my brother. I was astonished when it actually worked.
It came with a tape which included about 6 games in BASIC - all extremely simple since they had to fit in 1k of memory, of course. I can’t actually recall what they were exactly though.
I remember it even had a ‘flight simulator’.
A NES at a cabin with gems like excitebike, megaman, paper boy, rush n attack, and tetris.
mega man 2 was one of my favorite games on nes. first mega man before i got mmx on snes. never had tetris for nes, but we had some game called klax.
I remember playing Joust on the Atari 2600. We had a little black and white TV to play it on.
Crash Bandicoot on the original PlayStation. I sucked at it then and still do lol.
I was scarred by the OG Crash and it took a long time to convince myself to buy the remastered version. The time it took to go for platinum still haunts me :D
My first one was NES. I was just the right age in the late 80s to be caught in all of it. Funny thing is, I don’t remember asking for it. I think my parents just got me one, but I fell in love with games from that point on.
Heck, my second system was the Genesis, and I didn’t ask, or know about it, either! One of the best memories I have of growing up.
Went to the movies with family friends. When I came back, my dad had set up the Genesis and had Altered Beast playing on the tv. Coming from only knowing the NES, my mind was blown.
Thanks for the excuse to walk down memory lane.
i was mainly into nintendo growing up, except for ps2. dark cloud was awesome. music was catchy but i loved how the weapon system worked.
my favorite memory was getting n64 for christmas. stayed up all night playing san fran cisco rush with my brother.
Atari, tanks
Atari: Tanks, Pong, Pole Position, Frogger, Pitfall, Pac-man, Megamania, Donkey Kong
Atari Lynx! It was awesome, but it broke all the time.
handheld right? never played one but a friend had an atari jaguar.
we played some independence day game for it. i remember being put off by the controller. i was more of a fan of the n64 one.
The earliest game I remember is Dangerous Dave that I think was on a 386.
Either that or Gorillas, a DOS game on a similar system. Still remember having to park the heads!
