DC Posted June 19, 2020 Posted June 19, 2020 I'm curious what the earliest video game memory is for everyone, and the story behind it.
Alexander. Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 I'll always remember this embarrassing story. My first video game memory was playing Minecraft when I was around 10 years of age. I remember constructing my first house which was made out of Dirt, and having no resources when the night came. As soon as I heard a Zombie outside, I became frightened and scared the living daylights out of me.
The Blackangel Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 I was 4. My cousin had shoved me off my bike and broke my collarbone. So I was kept home from school for a couple weeks at a friend of my parents house. They had an Atari with both Pac-Man and Pitfall. I gamed my ass off.
Demon_skeith Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 Not sure of my age, but I remember either playing, Super Mario Bros or Megaman 2 on the family NES console, I wasn't able to do much myself but I enjoyed watching others.
StaceyPowers Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 It was some kind of game with a maze which was made out of text on an old computer with a green screen which I think was known as a Z-100.
The Blackangel Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 It sounds like an early Mac. I think an Apple 200.

ARx182 Posted June 20, 2020 Posted June 20, 2020 My first video game memory is playing Star Wars Battlefront II with my older brother on the PS2. I was probably 5 years old at the time but my memory of the game is still crystal clear. I've tried to play the 2017 remake too but it doesn't hit the same way.

What's your first gaming memory and old were you at the time? How did you kick-start your hobby as a gamer? I'm intrigued to know about your story too!

I don't think theres any video games that are compatible with Macs. They also don't have the hardware to run most of the good titles so I stick to Windows too for gaming. Why pay for an Apple Mac? You can spend the same amount of money on a top of the range Windows Gaming PC and receive better specifications for the same price tag. Edited June 22, 2020 by Alexander.

What video games did you play and how old were you at the time? Tell us some of your favourite titles too. If presented with the opportunity, would you game on the Atari today and would you classify yourself as a retro gamer? Edited June 27, 2020 by Alexander.
