What Was Your First Gaming System?

[Praxil]

Then quickly moved on to the PC where Dune II got me. Strategy games will keep me around PC forever.

I then got my hands on the first C&C on my Mother's desktop, I have no idea what kind of PC it was. But I played the crap out of it. After awhile I eventually got more games for PC and then got my XBox and things took off from there.

Great game. Do you remember the included trailer that featured a preview of what seemed at first view to be a FPS game based on the universe of Tiberium Sun ?

There is a FPS set in the Tiberium Sun world. It's called C&C Renegade if I remember well.

As much as people complain about "games these days," has anyone ever gone back to play your entire NES collection? Sure, there are some real gems, but most of the games you bought back then were terrible, offered 2-3 hours of gameplay, and were full of bugs and graphical glitches.

Games these days have huge budgets, are much longer and more fun, and usually less bugs than the average NES or SNES game. Plus games now are actually cheaper in "real dollars" than the old games. NES games that cost $35 to $40 in 1986 are actually more expensive than a game costing $60 today.

Sega MegaDrive (2) with Sonic 2 ****ing awesome

[Hattori]

Wow no one had Sega Saturn?? My favorite games were die hard, Jurassic park and some 2d version of sonic, still before it went 3d.

Yeah that is true yet game critics and the gaming public still seem to think that modern video games are not LONG enough...since when is 8/9 hours of total gameplay NOT long enough?

If games like Call of Duty 2, Halo 2, etc were any longer I would've died of boredom! Well....maybe not with COD2

Wow no one had Sega Saturn??

I remember a friend of mine got a Sega Saturn a year or two after I got my Genesis...the only game I remember playing on it was this weird 3D game where it was basically colored outlines of squares, rectangles, cones, and other shapes on a black plane and the point was to run around in some sort of tank-like thing and shoot enemy shapes...weird stuff

For PC gamers out there what can you remember as being your first PC game? If I remember correctly my visit PC game experience was on a REAL old Mac computer where I played that "cannon fodder" game (does anyone know what I'm talking about?) and this super mario brothers inspired typing game (you know, the kind where you learn to type on the keyboard but in a "fun" and "game" style?)

[Sebdeas]

I had a SNES, it was awesome especially Mario(ofcourse).
I only had like 3-4 games for it but it was still great.

Good old fashioned Nintendo. Before that, we used to play a few games on the Atari and Commodore 64 owned by my uncle. My favorite was the game where swing from vines and jump over crocodiles. I can't remember the name of it.

[Cluny the Scourge]

I also started on an Intellivision. You got a piece of thin plastic with each game that you inserted into the handheld-controller and it labelled all the buttons for you. The controllers had a dial on. Man, I must have been about 3 years old. Check out the revolutionary graphics on this ice hockey game - amazing.

Googled Pitfall. That looks like it but I could have sworn it was called "Swamp Adventure" or somesuch nonesense. Maybe a small-time knock-off of Pitfall?
