I remember it was the Amiga 500, but which game I can't remember exactly.

Moonstone: A Hard Days Knight, Sensible Soccer, Hunter, Mega lo Mania are the games that I remember playing the most. So perhaps one of those games.

But I had somewhat 300-500 games for the A500, so there are so many great games that could be mentioned.

The very first system that I played on was the ColecoVision, and I just remember one game; The Smurfs. I didn't enjoy playing on this system very much.



Final Fantasy VII and although I had played games before gaming wasn't necessarily my thing, so there i was at age 11 watching my big brother play FF7, I remember telling him " that game looks boring and repetitive " anyway later on when he was out i was bored so I randomly decided to give it a go to this day I it is still my favourite story in gaming best music for a FF game and some of the best characters in gaming history, my opinion of course.



My mom used to play Donkey Kong in the arcades all the time when she was a kid. One year for X-mas my dad got her the DKC SNES bundle. I was hooked for life. Previously I casually played some NES and Genesis at friends houses, but it didn't click for me until DKC.

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!

I don't know, so I'll show games that it could have been.  I remember all of these from my childhood, but we owned both NES and Atari 2600, or atleast as far back as I can remember.

Pitfall harry.... man those were some good times, thinking you landed on the edge of the lil islands only to see him slide down through the water into oblivion. The atari2600 had some great games but you needed a pretty good imagination to fill in what was actually going on in a lot of the games.

As a kid it was probably a game in the Commodore Vic 20, can't remember which now.

As an adult is was probably the Tekken 3 demo on PS1. I got a PS1 as collateral for a loan I gave to someone, and all it came with was a few demo disks. So for several months I played the Tekken 3 demo and that was all I played, almost every night, for months. Then I finally decided to see what else was out there, as full games and never looked back.

Oddly though I never really got into Tekken as a full game, nor did I ever get into the fighter genre at all. Though I did buy Tekken 4 for PS2. Buy the time I really got back into gaming I was enjoying story-based games much more than non / minimal story games.
