/vr/ - Retro Games

>>8185356
Started with an Intellivison in '84 or so. Had a friend in the neighborhood who had a 2600, so we had so e good variety. I have fond memories of the Intellivison and it gave me a love of games.

Around '87 I saw Super Mario Bros. On an NES for the first time at another friend's house and was blown away. He actually looked like a person with eyes, ears, hair, etc. I eventually got an NES as well, and my cousin got an SMS, so again we had a good mix of games and exposure to systems.

Got a SNES and a Game Boy at the end of junior high through high school, and absolutely loved them. Other kids had a Genesis, so got lucky with a mixture of systems and games again.

After high school, I lapsed for about 4 years, then tried to get into 5th gen...but I realized all I wanted was the games of the type I grew up with. Had a few PlayStation games that I liked, but mostly stuck to "retro". Been there ever since and don't feel like I missed anything.
