I am a PC gamer for the win, but I started on early Nintendo consoles.

Brian May is a rocker. He just does it with style.

Ah, 4 or 5 at my kindergarten freind's house up the street. He had SNES and NES, holy crap (SNES in '93 was pretty badass)! We both agreed even at a young age that the montain maze area of Zelda II was total BS. I remember the cartridge was Golden colored, thought that was cool. Then there was watching an older kid of some family friends at a 4th of july party playing Wasteland. Mind blown.

 

The biggest impact on me though was "World of Xeen". I think it was Might and Magic 4&5 in one game and it changed my life. I forget what I played it on, but i remember it lagging if I moved to fast (grid based movement even lol) and the character animations were like slideshows. I must have put at least 500hours into that game and never beat it.

For as long as I can remember. <= 3. The golden days of the Commodore 64 and the Atari.

The single biggest problem in communication is the illusion that it has taken place.

5 (2007) when I went to America I discovered a thing called a Xbox a Playstaion 1 and 2 and a gamecube. I played a crap ton of Halo 2 and GTA San Andres  on the Xbox and on the PS 1 I played a lot of Resident Evil 2 and would end up getting nightmares and also Monster Rancher, Digimon World, Parasite Eve, FF IIV, Legend of Dragoon and Harvest Moon. The PS 2 I played GTA Vice City but mostly I played basically my favorite game on the PS 2 was Devil May Cry which I finish the whole Trilogy on Spartan mode and unlocked everything on every game. The Gamecube the only reason that was a thing I played was well Super Smash Bros Melee and Resident Evil 4

 

Later on we would get a Xbox 360, PS4 and a WII

I'm a 12 year old, but i feel old too... Played so many games, until the PSU and my HDD quite "overcooked". I remember i somehow entered the BIOS on the second oldest computer and i've messed everything up, when i was 4. My older brother was raging.
