| JGarret said: When I turned 5 years old, back in 1987, I got a NES from my parents, and have very fond memories of games such as the three Mario Bros games, Ducktales, Castlevania, Contra, MegaMan, Zelda, etc...my older brother had an Atari 2600 which he got in 1979, but I never really played it much...started with the NES and didn´t look back...I´ve read about the 'crash' that happened in 1983 (I was 1 year old lol) and how the NES revitalized the U.S. console market (of course, back then I had no idea all these things had happened)...but anyway, a few gaming related stuff from the 80s that I remember: - the company Sunsoft (remember that one?...Batman and Gremlins 2 for the NES, for example) - the Nintendo craze (I still think that, relative to its time, the NES craze was even bigger than the Wii...anyone remember the Nintendo cereal?) - the very fist issue of Nintendo Power (I still remember that one, it had Mario Bros 2 on the cover) So, were you gaming in the 1980s?...if you were, what are some things you remember?...if you weren´t, have you any idea how things were? |
in 87 i was only 2, gaming started for me in the early 90s,
