Have you been gaming since 8-bit Mario stepped on the scene or even before then?
NES was the start of my gaming obsession. I remember playing Super Mario Bros. while sleeping in my parents bed, eating a slice of cheese *thumbs up*
Have you been gaming since the NES or before? (Gaming Q of the Day 9-13-10)
My first game console was a Sega Master System when I was around 5 years old.
Thing is, the Sega Mega Drive was already out and my family was poor around then so I had to get the cheaper console.
The C64 was the first gaming system to call my own. I pretty much ignored the 16-32 bit consoles, cause I had an Amiga 500. The Amiga was a great system. Most of my best gaming memories come from that time.. First PC in 1991 - a date I still remember, because i bought Wing Commander II on launch day :-D
Great. Now I feel old. ^_^
Dude, Punch Out and Super Mario Brother 3 are two of my FAVORITE GAMES EVEEER!!! I loved the NES sooo much, ahhh, I miss the old days.
A better question might be did you start "Before NES" or "NES & up?"
NES was what revitalized video games after the crash, re-popularized them, and catapulted them into the mainstream and casual audience with Super Mario Bros.
I'm more interested in fining out who started playing video games when they were underground.
I was playing arcade games before the NES was released. Even as a kid I wanted the perfect port of the game to the console.
I started gaming with the Atari 800XL, and frequenting Arcades which were popular stops in shopping malls in the eighties, but my interest in video games really took off with the NES and Sega Master System. I still remember initially not having a game on the Sega console, but it had this silly built in maze game. Ah nostalgia.
I played since the SNES, but the NES was still around so I had my fair share of Mario Brothers 1-3 and Duckhunt =)
The answers to this question make me think I'm crazy.
The Atari 2600 started my gaming hobby off. I have been riding the wave ever since.
No, I probably started during the time of the SNES. After all, it came out when I was 2 years old. I started playing games too early for me to remember what the first game I played was. I might have actually started playing games on the PC, but I'm not sure. I've played games for as long as I can remember.
having only two options, being yes and no, hardly seems appropriate for this question. i do like these questions though so keep at it.
but i think yes means since NES, so i picked yes :D
Rockin' since the 2600 and still going. I didn't game on the PC until the late 90's simply because of the fact that when some guys I knew had one and played it, they had to type in the execute every time and I just wanted to the simple console style of plug and play, I had advanced ADD that made me not sit still long enough to type anything or care.
(Back in the day I think they actually called that being a kid and didn't try to drug your ass every time you were restless or did something stupid.)
The NES was the first console for me. Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 3 were the games I played back in '92. It's funny how damn tough NES games were back then, only beat Spider-Man and the Sinister Six.
I guess I have been gaming for quote some time. I had a Colecovision, Vic 20, Apple II GS when I was a kid.
Yes. My first game machine was a Sears branded Pong clone. After that, the Atari 2600 (original wood-grain model, ugh), and then on to bigger and better things with the NES and C64.
~1980 on the 2600 was my first gaming and I thought it was pretty awesome at the time
so 2600, nothing for pretty big gap, then the NES kinda late in the game, then nothing for another gap, then to the Amiga 500, a 486 PC, gap, PS1, PS2, nothing again for awhile, then a 360 about 1yr after launch
I've had some pretty weird stretches in there but I keep coming back to gaming.
Nope. I started with the N64, although I had cousins with SNESs, so I still had plenty of retro exposure.
