Legend of Zelda, Pac Man, and Super Mario Bros.

My mom liked the latter two, and my older half-brother liked the first, I was probably about three years old at the time. Then my mom bought a SNES with a bunch of games like Final Fantasy, A Link to the Past, Super Mario World, Donkey Kong Country games, etc. I played most of those here and there, but not seriously. It wasn't until I got a GameBoy and Pokemon that I played games more fervently, at about six years old (2000.) We also had a PS One and N64. We played games like tetris, Crash Bandicoot, and Spyro on the PS1. My mom preferred the PS1 to the N64, I think mostly because the games she played were fixed camera ones, and she couldn't get the hang of a 3d camera. On the N64 we played Mario Kart mostly. I was mostly a handheld gamer at the time though, and I played mostly handheld games. It wasn't until the PS2 that I started to play console games more, I went back to the Snes games and played those as well with the GBA versions. Toward the end of the 6th generation I got a Gamecube, and played most of those games. Around this same time I tinkered with PC gaming by putting a GPU into a manufactured PC. In the 7th generation I had extra money saved up and bought all three consoles, and had a PC that could play games at medium settings 720p. I also enjoyed my DS and PSP.



Something from Atari 2600 or NES.  We owned both of them when I first played a game, not sure which one I've played first though. .

Doom 2. My dad would continually install it and my mom would continually uninstall it every time we were caught playing it because it was too graphic. Now it seems funny seeing how paper the graphics are lol but hey for the time I guess it looked "realistic"

Tetris on an arcade machine! I think I was around 4 years old, so this would be in 1988. My first console game was Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt (seriously; fuck that dog).



I have no idea. My older brothers had two different consoles when I was younger than 6, and I vaguely remember playing some of their games. Don't know what consoles they were, but they were older than the NES. One of them kinda looked like a computer and my brothers had a strip poker game for it (that I didn't try out). Edit: After a quick Google search I'm pretty sure it was a Commodore 64 and an Atari 2600 (or an Intellivision, not quite sure).


The first games that I remember playing were Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, Chip'n Dale and a Mega Man game for the NES. I was 6 at the time, and I knew I had to get a NES for myself. This was around 1991/92, and fortunately for me my mum and dad bought me a SNES instead. First game I owned was SMW. Played it non-stop for years, didn't need any other games. I can't explain the sheer joy of discovering all of the secret exits with my sister at the time.



The furthest back I can think of was playing NES over my aunt's house when I was younger, so, Duck Hunt



Mine was either Super Mario Bros or Super Mario World. I started gaming in '91 or '92 when I was around two years old, and we had both an NES or SNES. I remember playing both of those a lot, but I don't specifically remember.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
