First console was NES that my family had, didn't really get into it to be honest, even though I was definitely old enough to play games. I just got bored and wanted to go play outside.

Saved up for a PS1 and played the shit out of that though, I think it has to do with 3D gaming as opposed to 2D, I don't really get into 2D games, once I played Twisted Metal at a friends house, it was over, had to have it.

Although Abe's Oddysee was actually the first PS1 game I bought, and I loved it (and Exodus later), in general, 3D or bust.

 

[chertipros]

My first console was a PSone. But I was really young when I got it. The gamecube is the console that I have the most childhood memories with

 

[MikeBreezy92]

Sega Genesis. Sonic Spinball....get at me.

 

[Angelus Errare]

My first system was an Atari not sure which one, then my mom got me a NES, then Genesis (my brother got the SNES), , aunt bought us a NeoGeo, later mom got me a PSX (my brother got N64), then PS2 (my brother got Dreamcast) then I bought my own PS3 and 360, later sold the 360 and have neither current gen system.

We had to maintain As in order to get systems, and if we did good on report cards she'd buy us each 1 video game. I think the worst thing I ever asked for was Power Rangers on Genesis...game was hard as fuck.

Your family probably all had good TVs. Slayven's talking about the days where you and your siblings/cousins were at your Grandma's house with the Playstation/N64 and the only TV you could play on was the old TV sitting on top of the even older broken TV in the back room. Those TVs didn't have ports for the red/yellow/white connectors, so you needed a RF to hook it up.

I was playing NES on a 13 inch black and white joint for a while.

[Shy]

My first console was a 2600.

 

[spindashing]

My first console was a handed down NES. I didn't get to play it often, but I loved the only game I had, which was the Duck Hunt/Mario combo.

Though later on in life, when I was in eighth grade or so, my older cousin who handed me down the NES gave me a suitcase for my birthday. At first, I didn't even know it was for me and he told me to open it when I got home ... shit was full of NES games that I still have and cherish today. He lives far away from me these days but I hope to one day shoot the shit with him and talk about his gaming history. He's married and shit now: I have not seen him for at least 10 years, but it's cool to know that if it wasn't for him I may not have even been as big a gamer as I am now.

Then again, due to Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog I begged my parents for a Game Gear and later a Genesis... Haha.

 

[Slayven]

I met him when he did a lecture at my university. My dad also met him while he was at university. I remember calling him as soon as the lecture was over to babble excitedly about it.

 

[EloquentM]

Read it, its not a gigantic book when it comes to page # but it talks about manhood and the human condition and dealing with changes in a way a lot of writers either won't or can't.

[Professor Beef]

My first console was the NES that my parents had. One of my first memories as a baby was seeing my mom on the phone, not paying attention to the screen. She died in World 8-1 because an enemy walked into her. I tried to warn her but I didn't have no words, man. =(

Sega Genesis. Sonic Spinball....get at me.

If I went to a friend's place and all they had was Sonic Struggleball, I would just leave.

 

[FeenixRising]

Bruh, I did the same thing. Dude was like "come to my house, I have Sonic!!"

I was hyped as hell thinking I'm gonna play Sonic 2 or 3K.... this dude gonna whip out Sonic Struggleball. I left his crib in pure disgust.

 

[Minnow]

Colecovision. Nigga. I think it had a knob and a bunch of buttons. Definitely, Nintendo came thru and changed the whole game.

Like, what the fuck is going on with that design?


That SAS thread is shit. Why home boy take a dump on HBCUs?

And it's hilarious to see those gay guys just spit out the slayven principles. Batting, maybe .100 on white people dating? Like, Slayven is definitely under the Mendoza line on Asian chicks, right?

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

What the hell happened in that Slay thread?

I saw an old man using sigs on his posts and came back to him leaving and people apparently harassing him on twitter.
