I decided to make this thread since Nintendo fans have been asked to prove a lot of these days. My proof isn't too solid but I am merely just asking a question. Hopefully, you guys won't be offended that you have to show your Nintendo loyalty badge when you vote.
This thread has now officially become the Nintendo Fan Club thread! You no longer have to prove your loyalty! You can share your past Nintendo gaming experiences, history, or anything else Nintendo related.
My gaming past -
I grew up during the 80s and the first system I had a chance to play was the Atari 2600. Eventually, I got my hands on the NES (probably mid - late 80s) and that is when my gaming addiction went to new heights. My basement flooded (Atari 2600 was on the ground where it got soaked so we got insurance money (had a ton of games and they gave us about 5 dollars per game and 20 or so for system) and we went to the store and we ended up going with the Sega Genesis over the TG-16 (I was intrigued by the TG-16) mainly because of Sonic. So this is where I jumped ship from Nintendo and didn't come back till after I got rid of my PS1. Goldeneye 007 was on of the main reasons why I ditched Sony and ended my teenage mentality that Nintendo was only for kids (reinforced by Sega on a daily basis till their death from the hardware industry). After the N64 I never looked to any other company for home / hand held consoles. I had a Game Gear during the 90s and it was pretty awesome besides having to leave it plugged into the wall in order to conserve batteries. However, getting my first Game Boy was probably one of the most exciting times of getting a hand held for me. Loved the GBA, DS, and now the 3DS.
I was also into computer gaming a lot during the late 80s and early 90s (still a little but not as much as I used to). I started on the 286 and then had a 386 (my dad's computer). So I was gaming during the DOS days and early modem days (14.4, 28, 56k). I even had an ISDN to play Tribes 1 while almost everyone was still using a 56k or less connection (let me just say it gave me a decent advantage when it came to lagging).
If you aren't a Nintendo fan then please do not post in this thread.
