Still remember I couldn't control the thing and crashed against the first wall a hundred times before realizing there was an option to start the game with 'keyboard' controls. Then crashed about a hundred times because I didn't understand the concept of 'height' in this game (it had a weird perspective). In my defense, I was probably 5 years old.

My dad and I used to whisper "die die die die" in each others ears when we played together.
He was just my mom's boyfriend at that time. He taught me about honor (don't use warp pipes).

I can't remember the first game I played--I remember the first game I ever bought with my own money was Lemmings for DOS. My brother got The Terminator. Both were fun--but we had an Atari so maybe...Centipede or Pac-Man? Or Pitfall--any of the old Atari classics.

>> No.891234

Pac-Man, on an arcade cabinet in a restaurant my parents took me to. My dad had an Atari 2600, and I played games on that latter, but I'm pretty sure playing the arcade Pac-Man is the first game I remember. Eventually we got the home version of Pac-Man and I played that all the time. I see a lot of people today saying the home version of Pac-Man was bad and didn't live up to the arcade one, but 5-year-old me wasn't bothered by it at all.

>> No.891242

Smb or tetris. First i played alone was castleVania cause my mom wouldn't let me play it.

Side note, she eventually caught me. Instead of being mad she asked me how i got past some party without losing all my lives

Everyone's been saying this game is hard as shit, and I guess it was. But me and my sister beat it when we were 12 and I have no memories of ever thinking it was an especially hard game. Then again our first NES game was Contra.
