I think the first my sister and I played was A Link to the Past. We didn’t know what we were doing, and we didn’t know why the princess and the green guy had the same name… We really got into the series when we watched our dad play Ocarina of Time. Detailed graphics, 3D, a day-night cycle, horse back riding… That game had it ALL.
The first game I ever played? Must has been Mario Bros 3 game for NES, or probably Sonic The Hedgehog, the first game that was mine was actually a combo of Grand Turismo and DBZ Ultimate Battle 22 for the PS1 at 6 years old, GT definitely was hard as balls, and not a fan of racing titles at that age, so I mastered DBZ lol.
The Commodore Amiga. But before that I remember entering into an arcade room when zi was camping with my parents. It was semidark, and there were all these machines: Dragon’s Lair, R Type, Double Dragons. Boy, I’ll never forget that.
My Gameboy Advanced. Couldn’t tell you my first games, but some favs were Mario Tennis, crash Bandicoot, and some kind of Mario Party game. I also remember a full Frogger game that I really enjoyed. PlayStation 1 was my second console, more Crash Bandicoot and Mario games, Ratchet and Clank, and Madden.
Late 90s and early 2000s were the best times to be a kid (but, of course, I’m biased)
Before I started school my mother sometimes would have to bring me in to work with her when she couldn’t find a baby sitter. She worked in a restaurant in a bowling alley, during the day it wasn’t very busy so she would be running the place on her own. There were a few regulars who would give me quarters to play the Galaga machine, and sometimes they’d give me a couple bucks and I’d go across the building to the arcade for some Spy Hunter and Donkey Kong.
remember sears arcade systems? i think that was their knock off of intellivision. white/cream color, and i think its controllers could actually be unplugged.
