My first gaming system was the VIC 20. I had lots of fun with it, until the spacebar broke...
I got a NES when it first came out. My parents were managing a video store at the time, so I could play all the latest games for FREE. I also could play the latest systems at launch since we got them for the store. Yeah those were the times.
I remember this one store in a Chinese mall that sold Japanese NES games. I was stoked when I saw a Japanese SMB 3 on sale! I quickly ran out to tell my parents about it, but we found out later that it was just a jigsaw puzzle >_> The store did get the game a short while later though, and since I couldn't understand Japanese at all, the store manager there explained how to hold a Koopa shell XD That game became a hit at our video store, of course. The NA release didn't come out til a long while later.
Nintendo games were all that I've ever played. We also rented the Genesis and other non-Nintendo systems, but I've never found their games to be much fun overall.
I got the GCN at launch. My mom got it for me, but she forgot to buy a memory card! I ended up playing the beginning of Luigi's Mansion again and again and again until we got a memory card.
I feel so old. I've been playing games ever since the first systems came out. Those were such fun times.
How ya doing, buddy?
