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?

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.

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.

I was about five, and being babysat while my mom was out. The house I was at had an NES console and I played SMB 3 for hours. That was my first gaming experience, and next Christmas I got a Game Boy.

That started me off on my gaming adventure, and twenty odd years later I've owned every major console up to the XBOX 360. In between the years I've played on PC and console, lately having been more of a PC gamer in the past few years. Having made the switch is great, I don't have to own a lot of consoles to play the games I love. I still own a PS2, because it has such a huge library of amazing games.

I also play some tabletop RPGs, like Dungeons and Dragons, Fate, and GURPS. I'd say in some ways having that experience is more fun than electronic gaming because you get to really be creative, there is no set path past what the GM sets up.

I remember my cousins got an N64 that they brought on the family trip to Disney World. I think I might have had more fun playing Yoshi's Story and Mario Kart 64 in the hotel room than at the theme park.
