Thread: Early Gaming Memories

oh yeah and tekken 2 even though thats like 98 or something

I just remember kicking ass at that game

I also remember beating Metal Gear: Solid at my friends house over a few weekends, and running through all of RE:2 for him in a few hours because he didn't think I could do it, when he got his copy.

EDIT: More vividly, picking up a red key of some kind (diamond? were they doing card suits at RCPD?) in the hallway near where you can get under the station.

can you still remember what they do mang
no i didn't look them up

My first game ever was Doom which I would play with my dad (he called it "shoot em up") and we would play every night. I also remember playing original Mortal Kombat on arcade, I forget where though. My first real system was N64, which I got for Christmas 1995. I loved it, especially when I got Goldeneye for my birthday. I would always go over to my friend Matt's house and play it with him, he beat it on every difficulty and I was amazed. As I got older I got more into PC gaming, built my own computer in Feb 2003. I also had an original Xbox and remember playing Halo and Halo 2 well into the night many times. I now have an Xbox 360 and PC. Even better, my fiance loves to play too! Ive now got someone to play with, so Ill probably still be a gamer when Im 80 years old.

My little sister's first video game system was the N64 when she was about eight or nine. I have it now, can't recall if I ever paid her the $50 or not.

I also just remembered those little mini-arcade games. A close friend had Frogger until we left it in the drainage tunnel we used to hang out in. Still have no idea if a bum took it or the tunnel flodded and carried it away. I can't say I ever owned one, but I recall other friends having them in the early 1980's. They were neat for the time, and were the first "handheld" ports of arcade games I recall seeing.
