Intellivision and the Commodore 64. Going to arcades to play the most advance games. My mom buying our first NES for Christmas of 85. Playing the same games over and over trying to get higher scores than my friends. It truly was a different era of gaming. You could only do so much graphically so the games that had innovative gameplay really stood out. Playing Punch-out, Zelda, Metal Gear, Super Mario Bros.... I could go on and on.



Rol, you know they say there´s a first time time for everything

And...I must say you, as a huge Nintendo fan, should´ve experienced the NES craze the U.S. went through in the 80s.



Yup - first "game" system I owned was a Vectrex, unless you count the Tandy

 

 

^^ Vectrex - lol oh those screen overlays...

 

Then I got a NES, and even the bad games were good.. looking back at the AVGN's reviews of some of the games I played - yeah they were terrible, like Ghostbusters



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

Yup, started gaming on the PCJr and moved onto the NES in the late 80's.

The earliest games I remember are Zork, Jumpman, Fraction Fever, King's Quest, Gertrude's Secrets, Face Maker,  and Shamus.  All awesome.

Yes, in the late '80s I occasionally played NES, Amiga and Atari (and even pc at my father's workplace: they had Accolade's Grand Prix Circuit on one pc).



I wasn't born yet (1995 FTW), but my first console was an N64. I played PC up until I got that. I've been gaming since I was 2 years old. I wasn't half bad either.



To this day I still remember the cheat code for 30 lives for NES Contra.  

It was all about NES in the late 80's.

 

 



no I was a sperm



I remember playing the Commodore 64, the Atari 2600 and the Intellevision at friends' houses and later I played with my own Colecovision. Most of the 80s, though, I played with an Apple II. Ultima and, especially, Lode Runner were my favourites.
