Your Gaming History

Ok, here's mine.

My first ever console was the Sega Master System. Don't really have too many specific memories of this one, but I remember a lot of the games I use to play. I loved Alex Kidd in Miracle World, Spider-Man, Scramble Spirits, Streets of Rage and all the Sonic games. I also remember having The Simpson: Bart vs. The Space Mutants for fucking years and years, and never being able to beat the first level. I remember I ended up selling my Master System and all my games (and I had loads of them) for something crappy like �20. If I had waited a few years until Ebay became popular, I probably could have made shit loads more.

Quite possibly my favourite of them all, the Nintendo Game Boy. I still have mine, the original, huge, white brick with the green screen. Have hundreds of games for this bad boy. Some of my favourites include Pokemon Red, Blue, Yellow and Silver (yep, I was one of the sad fuckers that owned all the versions), James Bond 007, Star Wars, Super Mario Land 1 and 2, Lawnmower Man, and of course, Tetris.

Quite possibly one of the greatest consoles ever. Seriously don't think there are any legit gamers who didn't enjoy the SNES. Spent so many hours of my childhood playing this. So many incredible, simple yet playable games; Super Mario Brothers, Donkey Kong Country, Star Wing, Jurassic Park, Mario Kart, Bomberman, and some obscure titles like Boogerman, Legend (which was a fantastic multiplayer game) and Total Carnage. Also had the Bazooka style gun which was really fun at the time, and the Game Boy adaptor. You can get �10 mobile phones more advanced than this nowadays, but back then, playing a Game Boy game, in colour, on a big TV screeen was revolutionary.

Was never a big PC gamer. The PC was mostly for my Mum to work on, and since I was young at the time it was all new and exciting. Nothing more really than Windows 95 or 98 compatability. Loved the original Doom games and the first Age of Empires (some of my all-time favourite games), and enjoyed playing Star Wars: Mysteries of the Sith and Dark Forces, Hexen, Realms of the Haunting, and the Goosebumps games were pretty fun, and random cartoon making programs which were fun for a 12-year-old.

Who didn't have a Playstation back in the day? Had fucking hundreds of games for this as my PSX was chipped. Metal Gear Solid, the Tomb Raider series, the WWF series, WCW Mayhem, Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3, Spider-Man 1 and 2, Medal of Honor, and Star Wars: Episode 1 and Jedi Power Battles. Ah man, so many more games that I can't remember right now. So many good times though. I fondly remember whenever new games would come out and it'd be like 'OMG it's so realistic' lol.

And finally, my trusty Playstation 2. I have the original, bulky black one, and it's still working fine for me. It may not be as advanced as all the modern consoles of today, but I feel some of the PS2's games still hold up by todays standards, and the great thing about them is that a lot of games shops now have second-hand PS2 games for as little as �2 (and not crappy games, either. These were all 'top games' ten years ago, if you can bare being a bit behind). Favourites include Spider-Man 2 (another of all my-time faves), The Punisher, Metal Gear Solid 2 and 3, Splinter Cell, X-Men Legends 1 and 2, Half Life, Red Faction, GTA: Vice City (at 99% dammit!), the Dynasty Warriors games and all the Smackdown games up to 2008.

Unfortunately that's as far as I am at the moment. Just today I started playing X-Men 2: Wolverine's Revenge for PS2, which shows how far behind the times I am. But it's cool. All you guys who spend �30 or �40 on games... I'll be buying the same games for about �3, just when they're about ten years out of date.

I have played on various modern consoles, most notably the X-Box 360, and I FUCKING LOVE the Dead Rising game. I see so many games today with fucking awesome graphics and very realistic looking sceneries etc, but unfortunately I just don't have much time for video games these days, and the problem with modern games is that the controls are usually really complex, that it's okay to learn if you're playing through a game in it's entirety, but it's usually too much to grasp if you're only playing with a friend for a couple of hours.
