Fond Memories

[The_Hbot]

I thought that it'd be fun to get all nostalgic and discuss the games that we enjoyed in the past.

My first console was an NES. My friend Brian gave it to me. We were 5. He gave me a stack of games as well. Among them was Wizards & Warriors, which is still probably my favorite platformer to this day. Plus, it's hard as f**k! I never beat it as a kid, but as I grew and my skill in games increased, I was able to defeat the wizard and save the princess. To this day, it's still tough, and I admire that about this game. On the negative side, when your health gets low the most ANNOYING F**KING TUNE EVER plays!!

Duck Hunt was pretty fun back in the day (before every Zapper on earth became a pile of fail)

The first console I played was probably NES. All my roots were screwed up, the first console I owed but was bought for me was my atari 2600. The first console I bought was at a garage sale when I saw a virtual boy sitting there I had to have it, and I spent hours playing mario tennis probably permanently damaging my eyes with that s**t.

Sega genesis got me into fighting games though. mmm street fighter. Dreamcast got me into competitive gaming.

I still have and play all of my consoles plus more that aren't listed.

Oh geez... it's been a long time since I first got about 1000 points at the age of 3 or something in Donkey Kong. XD

I can't really remember what might have been my first console... as my parents were already pretty heavy gamers as it was. I think I started on the atari (Asteroids FTW), but I really grew up around the Sega Genesis with Sonic and Gunstar Heros and the original Gameboy with Zelda and Pokemon. In most cases, they were hard as heck if you played alone, but somehow I managed to make it through with a friend or family member in what Co-op mode they might have had.

@ Psycholace: Speaking of the Virtual Boy, your sig looks like Celtic Frost ON the VB. LOL

@ Chaotix: Gunstar Heroes freakin' PWNED!!!

Another one of my faves on the NES was an obscre action-fantasy/fighter/RPG. The story was decent or the time, and the difficulty ranges from uber-easy to kick-yer-a**-OMG-I-hate-this-game hard. If u has a NES emulator, I recommend downloading the ROM.

my first was the NES. I think the first game I played was Mario. Then we had a game called Tag Team Wrestling. I played Mario Kart alot. And about 1000 other games. frogger and everything. My parents followed this with a genesis with Sonic and Sonic 2. I loved sonic and to this day play the mega collection plus.I also love mortal kombat! after that i got a Playstation and a Playstation 2 and have games coming out both ends for them.

Aw, yeah, Sonic is a true classic!! My first Genesis was stolen, but I has another, so it's all good. As I said before, Gunstar Heroes is sweeet, but other Gen faves of mine are World of Illusion (a Disney game, and a damn good one), Golden Axe, and Vectorman (to name a few)

The Sega Saturn. My two favorite RPG's ever were on it, two of which I wish they would make remakes of for one of the newer consoles like as a Wii or XBox download: Albert Odessy: Legend of Eldean, and Shining The Holy Ark. Legend of Eldean was everything one could ever want in an RPG, and Holy Ark took first person exploration and RPG battle to a whole new level.

I never got into the Saturn, but those games sound pretty spiffy. I am currently attempting to beat Bio-Hazzard Battle, a hard as xd  

[The_Hbot]

I just bought a RetroDuo NES/SNES, so I'm gonna old-school it up for a while! First on my list, Wizards & Warriors (I belive that I mentioned my love for this game before)



Also, If u or anyone that u know owns a copy of the rare, obscure, fighting-brawling-fantasy-RPG known as Flying Warriors (NES), I AM WILLING TO BUY!!!!
