I took apart my older sister's Gameboy (cause I was that kid that took everything apart; Walkman, TV, VCR, etc.) and hid the different parts all over the house because she wouldn't let me play Tetris. That and Doom on Windows 95.

Mine would be playing the Atari 2600 at home. I really don't recall how it got there because I was to young to really know what it was prior to that. I remember pitfall, some sort of space flying top bottom jet fighter game and maybe even ET? I still don't know what any of those switches did to this day.

I think the next game I remember playing hours of at a friends house was Wolfenstein, we played the shit out of it all sitting next to each other taking turns. Then lemmings and oddly enough a pc Mario game. I don't recall the time frame on console releases mixed in with the pc gaming I did mixed in. Another I remember is playing TurboGrafx at a friends house, I recall it because those cards the games came on blew my mind at the top compared to the cartridges.

All in all, around the Sega Genesis era is when I gamed the most with friends and at home.

Some sort of educational game on a computer running DOS. It only had a few colours, and all I can remember is being terribly amused by the giant grin one of the characters had. There may also have been seahorses and starfish involved.

It loaded off a few floppies, but the smaller sort.

I've tried to find it before, but no luck. Anyone know it somehow?

First gaming memory: A Pong machine in a barber shop. Then came Asteroids, Galaxian, Pacman, and Donkey Kong. The shift to home gaming with the Atari 2600 is when my collection (and backlog) started. I"ll won't quit playing video games and messing with tech until it's game over for me...

On a computer?

Space invaders on a Commodore Pet in my high school's comp lab.

CRT's with eye-burning high contrast green on black. We'd shut the lights off in the lab after school and play till the custodian kicked everyone out around supper time. I probably got a lifetime's dosage of X-Rays off those tubes.

My earliest gaming memory is playing NES at my nonna's. She had a ton of games, but the 3 I remember are Super Mario Bros (what NES owner didn't have SMB?), Duck Hunt with the gun, and Hogan's Alley with the gun. Fun times. The NES gun was way ahead of its time.

Dragon Warrior on my NES. English is my second language (Spanish being my first one) and an aunt got me Dragon Warrior, in English, on a trip to the US. I was like 6 or 7 years old and I was so confused with the game but I still managed to finish it. That game helped me a lot in learning the language and it got me interested in the RPG genre =).
