    • This post is mostly relevent for early 90's, mid-90's mostly (born 1984)

    Some of the first video games I ever played were when I was in elementary school, doing whatever as a class in "the computer lab".

    ~Reader Rabbit
    ~Number Munchers
    ~Cross Country Canada

    There was also this downhill skiing game where so far down, a yeti would rush you and eat you. There were trees and jumps and "slalom posts".

    The as I got older came my Super NES and SEGA Genesis. Games such as:

    ~Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie (SNES)
    ~Jurrassic Park: Rampage Edition (Genesis)
    ~Ren & Stimpy (something about an invention) (Genesis)

    As for what friends would game with me when they visited, we wouldn't be at my house but the arcade nearby.

    ~The Simpsons (arcade, where you save kidnapped Maggie)
    ~Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (arcade, save April)
    ~Power*Stone (arcade)

    And that is mostly it for what I grew up with. Other than MS-DOS games like MARS, CASTLE, GORRILAS, Lemmings, Raptor, Nibbles, and BreakOut from back in the Windows 3.1 (three point one) days.

    And while waiting for Pokemon Gold/Silver to be released in Canada, I played these for Game Boy Color:

    ~Yoda's Stories (a Star Wars game, and rather unique I thought)
    ~Nail 'n Scale (a sort of puzzle game from original Game Boy library)
    ~Resident Evil (oh yes, for Game Boy Color. Though, I got it after getting pokemon Gold but before getting Silver)

    • I'm glad to see there are some people older than me in this thread, cause reading through the first few posts made me feel incredibly old.

    First actual game I can remember playing is Mario Kart 64 at some acquaintance of our family's, or maybe a few random snes games. I can't remember if I got my first gameboy or my N64 first, all I can really remember is getting the Green Donkey Kong N64 bundle for christmas one year, probably around '97.

    Metroid Prime 1 and 2. Every time you step off that ship you know something awesome is going to happen. As for reliving memories, well, gamestop had a used gamecube in for 10 bucks and I still had the discs and memory cards so I'm reliving them as I speak

    • Wow, this makes me think of some good memories.

    One of my favorite games was Mortal Combat when I was younger. It just opened up a new world of gaming for me. The standard games like Sonic were a love back then, but I have grown out of them now.

    More games like Gauntlet Legends always made me laugh when I was with friends and the Team Ico games I just adored and still do; even though they are a little more recent.

    My favorite gaming memory is Kirby: Nightmare in DreamLand. Pretty much all of my friends had this game, and none of us could beat Krako for some reason.
    So, I finally figured out how to do it and they were all like, "Dude. You're the Kirby genius."
    And then I tried to draw Kirby, and they were all like, "Dude. You're the Kirby master."

    To this day, I'm known for drawing Kirby. :D

    • I always wished that I had N64 as a kid, but my parents never got it for me. Instead, I was given a PS1 which was fine by. I spent a good portion of my childhood on this system. Still, I wish that it had been a Nintendo 64, but what can I do

    Omg yes. Gauntlet Legends, many quarters were spent on that game, and then many hours were spent when someone finally got it on a console.

    Most of my N64 childhood was spent playing Tony Hawk and Tony hawk 2.

    H-O-R-S-E. Ended up getting a nickname of "Eddie" due to my lack of skill. Also a fan of Iron Maiden which my friends at the time thought funny as they liked Weird Al and Our Lady Peace. Funny friends.
