What was your first gaming system?

Post » Fri Jul 02, 2010 11:49 pm

Amiga 500. (I still have it too.) Hard to believe now that it had 500 kb of RAM and I had to buy a chip to upgrade it to one whole MB. I would facepalm here, but that's how it was back then.

Huh, kids today. My Dragon used 16 chips to accommodate its massive 32KB of memory. Well it was massive compared to the VIC-20's 5KB!

Darn Spectrum owners and their 48KB. Nobody ever needed that much memory anyway. :meh:

Wah do I feel really young :lol:

First one I played on was the N64, first one I owned to followed by the Ps2, gameboy and some other ones. Oldest one I've ever played on though is one of those old gameboys. Love playing Super mario on that although it's a piss off when you get far, die and have to completly restart from the start. Still alot of fun though :D

PlayStation 1, I can't remember my first game, but I think it was London Racers or something, or it was a speedboat racing game

Sega Saturn.

Cause I'm cool like that. Don't remember the first game though. Might've been Tomb Raider.

First console game for me was this on the Master System:

Much cooler than the 16-bit version in my opinion.

C-64 baby :)

But I remember an older game called space wars that my uncle had. I remember the screen was all orange, but not much else.

Super Pong? Pffft. That's when they started selling out to make more money from the casual Pong player crowd. The original was what real Pong players were about. ;) hardcoe. :mohawk:



Yes, I know, but mom and dad aren't big into gaming. They play games on Pogo, so that ought to tell you something about their gaming style. :P

Sega Genesis. I remember playing Sonic the Hedgehog 2 before I would go to swimming lessons. First game I ever beat was the Lion King for the Genesis. Oh the memories.
