Your First Time... Gaming.

[Terara Drakon]

I have no clue. The earliest memory I have of gaming is going and buying Crash 2 as soon as it came out.

As soon as Majora's Mask came out, they stopped being so scary.

Wow. That's just. Wow.

Ahh, the good ol' Captain's Hat/Gibdo Mask trick...makes life so much easier...

My dad sat me down in front of the NES and let me be Luigi. I can still remember him saying. "Okay now move over a little bit more and jump straight up. There, that is your first extra guy." Then he went and caught a koopa on the steps until his extra lives were full. He was infallible when it came to that trick. He never missed the opportunity.

When I was 8 years old we played through OoT together and that was the first time I ever did something he couldn't do by himself. He had never played a Zelda game and didn't know that you use the dungeon item to fight the boss. I said "Shoot the eye, use the slingshot!" From then on we wiped that game out.

My first instances in the Art of Gaming began when I watched my older bro play the Turbografx-16, NES, and SNES.

Bonk's Adventure. Epic then. Still epic now.

I remember getting to play Super Mario All Stars + Super mario World. Made it all the way to Vanilla Dome all by myself in SMW.

But before that I think my earliest system ever was the Sega Pico, with Tails and the Music Maker.

Which reminds me, he also had the Genesis as well.

Then my step up to the Gameboy. Then it all went uphil from there. cool

My first video game moment of epicness was the first time i played my first video game.

Mario Bros. in an arcade when i was 5.
It was amazing, and I fell in love with Mario.

That was the first game I played in my blue GBP. It was epic. xD I love that game to death.

Well, before Pokemon Red started my love for gaming, Mario and the Six Golden Coins for the Game Boy Pocket had captivated me. It was so great, I remember getting to Wario and getting so pwned. Good times.

I remember my first game was Bomberman on the NES when I was like 3 or 4.

...and I've been a bomberman fan since...

I remember when I was about 7 or 8 I went into my videostore that's gone now and saw Nintendo64 game boxes. I didn't think much of it then. For my tenth birthday, my dad bought me my first game system: a GAMEBOYCOLOR with Pokemon Gold as my first game. I liked Pokemon and the game, but I still didn't love videogames yet, let alone know what the word Nintendo on my Gameboy meant. But THEN, some months later, my dad brought me to a Wal-Mart and let me get a second game for something awesome that I did. Can't remember what it was, but that's beside the point. Anyway, I was looking at all the games there and saw what would change my life forever:

I saw the cover and thought: Hey, that might be fun. So I told my dad: I want that one! The clerk took it out and my dad paid for it. When we were in the car, I took out the game and stuck it in my Gameboy. I turned it on and saw a guy in a white shirt flying a plane which crash-landed into a forest. The name Wario Land 3 appeared and I chose to play in English. From then on, I pretty much played that game nonstop and through some funny circumstances found out what Nintendo was and became the gamer that I am now. Such good memories.

y'know, I take it back. The first game I played was Ikari Warriors. I was like 6.
