Beating Bare Knuckle 2 on mania for the first time because it's one of my favorite Genesis game. Finally getting my first FEOK in FFIII because it made me feel so good to finally get the most powerful class in the game. Anybody else?

Hearing the Theme of Sonic The Hedgehog, the first stage, my first game ever

Watching my uncle play Chrono Cross, and seeing him get into random battles. Then I played the game after he finished it.

And kicking my cousin's butt in Gran Turismo. It was fun.

Hey, rinoa_heartilly, I meant old games, not games from several generations after. Like from the late 80s and early 90's.

Oh sorry chorns. But those are the only I can remember right now. :(

i remember Alex the kidd on one of the sega systems

Playing Streets of Rage.Loved that game.

ah i remember playing spaces in the arcade like tekken,street fighter and some of those shooting games but that wasnt that long ago

The first time I played Breath of Fire and got my dragon powers for the first time. Jesus, I wept out of happiness, due to my fondness of dragons.

I remember my aunt's friends playing Contra and. . . . . .ummmm. . . . oh this Kagero game from nes 8bit

Playing Super mario brothers for the first time.

Getting a new upgrade on Super Metroid.

Playing Mario Bros when I was in kindergarten, and my mother telling me the Nintendo wouldnt turn on unless it was saturday (I belived her too)

Tetris and Dr Mario. Just playing them was enough.

Getting to the Oil Zone place in Sonic 3, Then my television blowing up :(

Playing the final stage in Streets of Rage on the Megadrive and being blown away by the music. Because that was exremely important about how i looked at games from there on.

I was blown away by all the music from the Streets of Rage series! Me an' my friend finally beat Golden Axe for the second and final time and it feels damn good too! Yeah, music is always important in videogames, it tells what the attitude of the game is!

I remember when I go play Burger Time these pickles and onions maybe i forget were chasing me and i almost made a really super good burger and i didn't want to use my pepper so i was running away and then i got the gg too with a bun drop that was cool and me no need to use the pepper because me kill the enemy with the power of the burger omg i just realize i put an egg into that burger i would never eat that

Waking up early and beating Turtles in Time before school, and then going to school and saying "I beat turtles in time this morning before school today".

The game takes maybe an hour to beat if you know what you're doing, so it was no big achievement, but when I was that little, beating any game made me feel pretty impressive.

Mega Man 2 and 3 for NES.

Greatest games ever.

She was born in 1991. For her, Chrono Cross is an old game. People are growing up with different games than we did now, I don't see why they can't be added to the old game list.

Here is an old game, Roland on the Ropes. My first game. It could never be beaten, you just had to go for a high score.

I still have my Amstrad cpc and it still works. Ah the memories of loading games from cassette tapes... This was 1984.
We didn't get into console gaming here in Britain until the 16 bit Megadrive and Snes days. Infact Sonic the hedgehog was my first experience of Console gaming and ive not looked back since.

The all famous Ghouls and Ghosts i played that for so long also the original castlevania

And if anyone remembers this Bills Tomatoe game on the amiga, you had toplace fans and trampolines and such to get the tomatoe from one side to the other.

Beating Section Z on the old NES. Cos insanely hard game back then.

Also, starting up FFVII way back when it first came out, cos that was when I moved from an NES to a Playstation. A huge jump, I know.

My very first fond memory would be crushing the cartridge for QBert on the Atari
its a fond memory because i was so happy to destroy a game that a 7 year old boy would never understand....

and none of our amstrad(sp?) games loaded from the cassette tapes except from a stupid
demo of moving colors like those crappy windows screensavers....

My real first fond memory would be Wonder Boy III for the master system a classic in my humble opinion!

Side scrolling action actually included a shield that would block arrows, potions that replenished life hearts, expandable life bars, armour and weaponary it was a game that that offered more than jumping and highscores

so yeah thats my first favorite game closely followed by squaresofts seiken series

Venture for the Colecovision. One of the first games I ever played and I could never quite beat it until years later. Still have the cartridge around and fire that baby up every now and then. That giant green head used to really freak me out when I was little.

The ending to FFVI. I was about 12, and I beat it during summer vacation. However, I had to fight the final bosses three or four times, because my mom would come pick me up in the midst of the ending. Also, beating Captain Skyhawk for the NES-it was the first game I ever beat. Oooh, and one more-the B A B A Up Down Left Right B A Start code for TMNT2 on the NES. Does anybody remember the TurboTouch360 controllers? The ones that had a touchpad for the d-pad? I had one of those-it was the stuff!

Sorry Ryan, I didn't know that she was born in 91' when I wrote that...yeah, I guess that would make sense now.

Here we go. My top 10.

1. Getting kicked off my bros Atari 2600 after playing PacMan for about 2 min.
2. Wondering what was beyond the flag pole at the end of a Super Mario level.
3. Going to the arcade with only $3 to play Altered Beast.
4. Flying through the tunnel on those bike thinggies in Battle Toads thinking "WOW! This is FAST!" Now look at games like WipeOut Pure in phantom class.
5. Techmo Bowl. "HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! HUT! "
6. "Blades of Steel" - It talked!
7. Playing through Mega Man 3 biggining to end thinking i was the sh!t because i had a bunch of weapons.
8. Watching Super Mario Bros. 3 in the movie "The Wizard"
9. Reading the first article I got my hands on for Super Mario World, "Scrolling backgrounds to make 3-D like graphics" and thinking, "does this mean the game is really in 3-D?"
10. Playing Mega Man X for the first time - "HE STILL CAN'T DUCK??!!"

playing street fighter 2 against my cousin for hours on end, sure i never won, but i was only 6 and he was 17, give me a break

Beating Section Z on the old NES. Cos insanely hard game back then.


I don't think it'd be too easy if you tried it now.


But yeah, I loved that game.

And I hated repeatedly taking the wrong tunnels and going back to levels I already visited =\

Monkey Island Series, and Street Fighter Alpha 3 in the arcade(not too old but i played that alot and still do) the old cheat to get Juni and Juli recently saw a guy put that cheat in the arcade brought back a few memories.

as i'm only fourteen my best old gaming memory is completing revenge of shinobi and getting the perfect ending. TOOK YEARS!

i remember playing some old BBC computer (old Acorn) at school in yr 1
we had a game on 5" floppy called granny's Garden, i dont think these computers used dos at all but to load the floppy you had to hold shift on the keybord then hit break (pause) and release it!

they also had real TV's as the monitor! and the actual comp was this fat chunky keyboard

arghhh those were the days

God i loved that game, and all the sequels
And who played Loom!!!?? hahaha

Playing FFIII and after that tried to use magic :laugh:

Playing Sonic with my friends to try and beat it in one sitting.
Inputing the blood cheat for Mortal Kombat
Playing Super Mario World with my cousin
Playing Secret of Mana with my cousin and sister (I was the Sprite of doom ^_^)
Playing the first Mario on that brick of a Game Boy
Wondering what the hell a Virtua Boy was
Whenever I played Mario 2 or 3, I always hummed or sang with the level music... what? I know you did it too!

my sweaty body after playing hours of GunStar Heroes on Genesis
playing my cousin's genesis with my brother right after he told us not to
sticking marles in my cousins' first NES when I was too young to remember (...if I could remember, I'd laugh harder)
going to the arcade, when they were cool, and getting my ass kicked by someone who was about 10 years older than me (was still fun though)

and most of all, playing my brand new NES in 1991

Opening up the Nintendo on X-mas and playing Mario and Duck Hunt with my dad. I was 4. But i remember he was really good and in Mario player two didnt get to play untill player one died. I remember waiting for a long time, i was pissed. I remember he got to the ice level before i got a shot, I remember hitting one of the first bad guys on the first level, and being even more pissed i had to wait again.....Good times

UP DOWN UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT LEFT RIGHT A B START....

Almost completing Zelda (the 8 or 16-bit version, can't remember for NES(I think)) without unlocking you're sword.

Definately Rocket Knight Adventures, the most under rated and perhaps best platform game of the genesis super nintendo days. How I'd love to just charge a rocket pack and fly into something, sword first.

Oh joy! I remember playing all these games for Comodore 64at my uncles and aunts house! Ninja three, this other Ninja game. The summer olympics, winter olympics and thunderwolf! Oh man i love those games!

A fond game would probably be Super Frog for the Amiga. this may sound cheesy but i was only young. It was a frog that could fly and he drunk lucozade. How cool was that.:-D

beating Kung Fu for the NES under an hour and returning it to exchange it for one of the best platformers ever Super Mario Bros 3
playing Super Mario Bros on my stolen Game & Watch(still damn proud of that)
trying Alex kid for the zillionth time and never EVER finishing it ;__;
OD'ing on Mortal Kombat
..
