Earliest Gaming Memories

[EHKOS]

My first was hating sunset vista, longing to play Tekken but my parents wouldn't let me. Playing a demo of colony wars. And discovering the epicness that was pokemon blue on my cousins game boy color.

for me its when i was given a gameboy colour and pokemon yellow and mario as presents from my mams friend....still have the gameboy and pokemon but mario dissapeared over the years. First game console i ever owned and yellow and mario were the first games i ever played...i wonder if i had never been given that as a gift, would i be the way i am today?....*shudders* dont even want to think about it, its too much fun bein a nerd ;D

This might have been done before but don't hurt me I'm relatively new =)
So what are your earliest and fondest memories of gaming. Mine are playing Crash Bandicoot, I remember that certain parts of that game used to frighten the shit out of me for no particular reason. Stronghold Crusader also bribgs back fond memories

I still play Stronghold Crusader, that game will never get old..

Back on Topic it was Crash Bandicoot, NBA 99, James Bond Games, Stronghold Crusader and Empiresawn of the Modern World.

Almost forgot Rise of Nations and C&C Generals.

And Pokemon Yellow

And Star Wars Battlefront 1 & 2

I have so many good games I played when I was little....

Remember my dad booting up the Atari 2600 to play Mario Bros, Pitfall and many more then being a little older being introduced to PC gaming at my Uncles as he showed a young 7yr old, Lawnmower man, Chips and Doom 2.

This is gonna age me, but it's running home from church on Sunday in really uncomfortable shoes at the age of four to try Frogger on the atari before getting frustrated and making my Mom do it. Then for my sixth birthday I got a NES, a used NES, it is important to note, with the wildly popular M.C. Kids! Wait.. no one knows M.C. Kids? The product placement for McDonald's game? Hold on a tic...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M.C._Kids This game was also ridiculously hard and I never made it past Grimace's level. I stuck more to bowling, Double Dribble, Super Mario 1, The Legend of Zelda (woot Gold cartridge!) and eventually my favorite, Kirby's Adventure. I also had some obscure titles like a Willow tie in to the movie and Athena. I loved Athena since I was finally playing a girl. Oh, I had the original Final Fantasy for all of a week before my cousin's took it because theirs was damaged.

I think it was Megaman X3 for the PC. Man I loved that game, Though I sucked balls at it. And since I was a wee lad I never found many of the secrets or upgrades.

Though I could get to Sigma after loot of retries or farming extra lives.
