Halo on the original DirectX Box. Been playing ever since. At the time the game was very, very fun and the co-op was the definition of greatness for me.

My first system was a Sega Genesis, and my first game was Sonic 2. The game itself didn't exactly turn me into a gamer, but that was at least the start of it. Wanting the system was just sort of a natural thing, I'm not even sure what drove me to it.


Was because Genesis does, what nintenDont!


It's funny you should say that, because one or two years later I sold my Genesis and got an SNES, haha.  (Though I obviously should have just kept the Genesis and had both!)

I had the megadrive for all of that generation right to the very end we got a loan of our cousins SNES, got my hands on a link to the past.... then Secret of Mana, Evermore, Illusions of Time. The SNES destroyed the megadrive with its library of RPGs, the music of Mana is still in my itunes most played lists.

Always hated mario tho when it was between Megadrive Sonic and SNES Mario. loved the hell outta yoshis Island but that technically wasn't a mario game >.> right? 3d sure changed those views right around lol.

Yeah, at the time they seemed pretty neck-and-neck, but the SNES really did demolish the competition in hindsight.  Sega had some fun games, but Nintendo had straight up masterpieces up the wazoo.

There are some Megadrive games tho like Streets of Rage, golden Axe and of course all the 2d sonic games which I could happily pick up any day of the week and clear through in a single sitting and love the hell out of still.... but Rpgs on the megadrive, I loved Soleil, hated Story of Thor and well... they were kinda hard to even find any here, I know there was phantasy star games for it but I never got to play um sadly.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

I had played for years, but what really got me hooked was the Atarti Computer Game - Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves. It was a great turn based game where you had a story, battles, and could play many difference characters in different ways.

Really not sure I see any point of Consol over PC's since Kinect, Wii and other alternative ways to play have been abandoned. 

Top 50 'most fun' game list coming soon!

 

Tell me a funny joke!

The original Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt back in 1987.

Many gamers started with these two games I'm sure.Both are timeless too.Most people I know have a memory to share from these two games.



Double Dragon @ my friend's place. His older brother and friends were playing the game and I was oh-so envious. The start of my love for the beat'em up genre. I'm pretty sure I played game before that but that was the first game that got me absolutely addicted.




Not only was AoE 1 the first game I played but it was also a pretty good game for the time.



Super Mario Bros. on my grandpa's NES alongside Super Mario 64 on my older bro's N64. I played them around the same time and it was a blur in which was first, but they were both phenomenally fun.

I think...both of us already posted in this thread. XD

Oh well, second time is the charm I guess.
