Does anyone ever reminisce about the days when Super Nintendo came out? I saved up 150 dollars in change when I was 9 years old and bought it when it was in the promo pack with the super mario allstars and super mario world. It is truly amazing how far video games have come in the last 20 years. I bet half the ppl on steam today have never even played the SNES or SEGA Genesis.
 
I remember getting an ATARI system for Christmas in the early 80's. Played pitfall, tank, pong, pacman any many others for hours on end. My hands would get so cramped up I would eventually have to stop playing. :biggrin:
 
i remember getting my n64 i had all the best games ocarina of time, golden eye, excite bike 64 , mario cart 64, super smash bros , donkey kong 64\

and i had a genesis
 
I remember my first Nintendo... Never had an Atari but man was that Nintendo fun. But when Duck Hunt/Track Star came out for Nintendo it was game over for me.. Hooked to gaming for life now :D

Boy oh boy

ZX81 and 3d Monster Maze ftw. First game and computer I ever got.

Back in the day when you could type games in from computer magazines.

proper old school
 
I wasn't around then, but I have played a lot of the old games, and have a nice collection of Nintendo systems (need a virtual boy though :P)
 
I don't remember too well, when I last played around with my old SNES. But I do remember the day I found it in a box stashed in the depths of my mom's closet. I had pulled it out to dust it off, setting it on the counter. I decided to get lunch and play around with it later. Upon my return I realized my cat had been playing around with the cords and had chewed the one for the controller clean in half.

I also remember this as the first day I really yelled at something.
 
I was thinking more along the lines of Pong, Pinball, and Space Invaders. But yeah Mario was fun on the Nintendo. :)
 
It is nuts how far video games have come...i still have my regular and super nes with all kinds of games + my n64 which ill probably play forever :)
 
I think the first system I had was a N64. I might of had one before it (I don't doubt it) But that's as far back as I remember. The N64 was a beast at the time. In fact, It still is.
 
I still have the Sega Master System I received way back when as a Christmas gift. I'll bet 80% of you have never heard of the Master System...
 
yes ive never playd SNES(watever tat is) but i did have a n64 and i played mario party's with it
 
Atari kicked ass, also when Sega G came out Altered Beast ruled, and Bad Dudes for that matter. If you're looking for some ol' school computer games go to www.gog.com most games like castles and duke nukem are around $5.00. Ahhhhh reliving the past, also i forgot how much freakin fun these games were....now if i can only find Myst
 
I miss my nes, Duck Hunt was the best game ever for me...

All i have now is my super nintendo and more current consoles.

GOOD MAN
N64 will never go old for us
It was the peak of gaming in the 90's
First 3D gaming with voices
I think that it was either the N64 or PS1 where nintendo AND sony worked on it, then one backed out and left it for the other company...
Ahh a little history for you there, my friends.
