I can't really distinguish whether or not my first memory was of Punch-Out!! or Pitall!. One of those two...probably playing Punch-Out!! with my brother.

I also remember playing Super Mario Bros. on an arcade machine at a deli, though that wasn't one of my earliest memories...just an interesting one.

Choplifter and Afterburner on the Sega Master System. Those games were awesome.

I forgot about Shinobi on the SMS! One of the best games ever.

I remember playing a game on a 2600 at my cousins house. But I don't remember the name. I easily remember playing games on my brother's intellivision though; Popeye, and AD&D: Cloud Mountain.

Playing the Pac-Man arcade machine at a local ice cream parlor. Trying to figure out what the hell was going on in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy text adventure on my Apple IIGS. Getting a Sega Master System for Christmas one morning, playing Hang On/Safari Hunt until it game me nightmares, and eventually discovering the snail game to my extreme delight.

At my cousins house when I was like five playing that NES bike game. I think it was excite bike?? Does that sound right? And there was this other game, it was a boxing game, and inbetween the rounds a guy would come out like richard simmons and give your guy a ------, and no I am not kidding. I was scarred for life..... does anyone know what this game is? I think it was popular actually. I was too young to understand what Mr. Simmons was doing, however.

The first console I ever played was the Turbografx-16. The first console I owned was the Super Nintendo.

The first game I beat on my own I believe was Ys Book I and II or Bomberman for the Turbografx-16.

Probably the farthest memory was when I was 4 and my Dad beat the black Bomberman in Bomberman for the Turbografx-16 and I started crying.

Getting a Gameboy Color with Pokémon Blue for Christmas, and playing that game from when I opened to, until I fell asleep. (I was like 7). Then when I got a PSone the next Christmas, and playing Gex and Tekken 3 with my brother and our friend all night long.

I had an Atari, I think. The correct name of the console I owned will forever be a mystery, but it was around 1990~ and I was 3 years old. D: My grandpa bought it to me. Then my uncle got me a Sega Genesis as soon as it came out, even before they sold it in here, so I was like so happy. I remember playing the Little Mermaid all the time. :3

So I guess that's it. XD the console I had was like a wii, 17 years ago. Those kind of mini-games..full of it, even had bowling or cowboys fight. >_> *nostalgic* :*

My first game was Pokemon Blue Version for the Gameboy. I didn't start gaming until I was 7. I loved that game so much. I remember being on a really long plane journey and I played it the whole way. I even needed to change my batteries!
