Just finished replaying the Megaton Edition on Steam. I can literally never get tired of this game. I remember I went with my grandpa to buy a game for doing well on my report card and he said "Dang this game looks cool!" so we bought it for the computer, then it came out for the N64 and I had it for that too, installed a custom firmware on my old PSP just so I could play it on the go, purchased an old laptop on eBay that I found for cheap that ran Windows 95 the first thing I installed was Duke Nukem. Damn. I love that game. Thanks Grandpa.

Why would you buy an old laptop with windows 95?
[–] newbieatthegym 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago (edited ago)
I guess this also my first PC game. Used to play it on a 40 MHz machine and VGA monitor. Awesome times. Then shortly after I went onto Wolfenstein.
Edit - was on something like this: http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?c=1011&st=1

Side scrolling mayhem!

The best Duke Nukem was the side scrolling ones.

Super Mario Bros, with my dad. I remember thinking he was a video game master (he wasn't) haahaha good times :)

My first addiction. Had it on my game boy color

First memory of gaming was on a Tandy. I'm pretty sure it was the very first flight simulator with my dad, although 25+ years have fogged my memory a little bit.
First memory of "modern" gaming was CoD 4. The first multiplayer gaming experience is something I'll likely never forget.

Doom is the first game I can recall making me sort of jump in my seat. It was amazing for the time. Good design and good sound actually managed to create an immersive experience.
[–] Sokonit 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Wait, do you mean Doom 3 or the Doom I grew up with?
[–] kittylingus 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Ohh man. We also had a Tandy growing up. So much time watching my dad play some Dungeons and Dragons type game. My brother recently dug it out of the garage. Still works, and is awesome.

I remember playing MediEvil and Gex in my PS1 and Metal Gear too. Man those were the times.
[–] Nivagely 0 points 3 points 3 points (+3|-0) ago
I wish I could get a proper remake for MediEvil, A true classic,
[–] tremors90 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
It is a really good classic. I should buy it again since i still have my PS1 and it is only $129.99 on Amazon lol
[–] GenghisSean 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
I almost wrote MediEvil on the "hidden gem" thread the other day. It was such a fun game.
[–] Chops ago
Gex! I loved Enter the Gecko. I still remember the level "www dot com dot com" and trying to go there on the internet later.

I was playing Simpsons: Hit and Run on the Playstation 2
[–] TimeWaster 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago (edited ago)
I dont know what it was about this game , but I chose to play it over GTA Vice City on several occasions. So much fun.
[–] SirFarticus ago
The single player missions got very redundant towards the end, unfortunately.
[–] PrincessBubbly 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Loved that one!! I loved running people over since they would roll :)
[–] setitimer 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
Combat on the Atari 2600. If I didn't have someone else to play against, I would sometimes set the other controller on its side and put a pillow on it to push it down, to make the other airplane fly in circles so I could "dogfight" it.
[–] Cornbread52 ago
I was going to say the exact same game. I used to beat the crap out of my sister at tanks.
[–] ZappyKins 0 points 2 points 2 points (+2|-0) ago
Remember the 'level' with the bouncy bullets? Sometimes my bro and I would accidentally shoot ourselves more than each other.
[–] Duz 0 points 7 points 7 points (+7|-0) ago
I love this question. I was too young to remember coherently, but it's either secret of monkey island or day of the tentacle. My elders all ways had a Lucas arts adventure game on when ever I was at their house. I remember clearly the jokes wild art style and clever writing even from that age I was hooked.
Those early memories have effected my choice in games ever since. It's the story for me I could care less about multiplayer or achievements of the story isn't griping and the characters believable I just don't find the game that engaging. As a side note I remember when I knew online multiplayer was going to be awesome. I was playing crackdown with a friend and as I stole a truck he ran in to a cross junction screaming justice while carrying a lamp post them out of no where we gets crushed by a lorry and we break our hearts laughing.
I remember my first clan, the first time a online friend died and how I had no idea how to deal with that, meeting my idols and loosing faith in games and the culture. It's been such an awesome hobby and I can't wait to grow old with games and see what's next.

It was watching my dad play Descent, Myst, and Doom. Me personally, it was playing Lemmimgs on Windows 95. There was also this weird sim-like game called Bob. Anybody remember that?
[–] Cuchulainn ago
Ah man, I remember lemmings. That was a great game, although I was never any good at it. Always ended up frustrated and going to do something else.

When you're 5 or 6, it's a game.
