I started off with a Commodore64, yeah I'm old, played a lot of cartridge type games and many more games on floppy disk. My favorite was probably a game called "Wizard" but Zork I and II were pretty cool also. Moved on to a Nintendo eventually, probably my favorite game was TECMO Bowl. I almost got into fist fights with my best friend over his inability to stop Bo Jackson on that game...lol I went several years without a console, just a PC which I didn't do a lot of gaming on. I eventually bought a Playstation 1, played the hell out of a game called Syphon Filter. I then moved onto the Xbox, then the Xbox 360, now I have an Xbox One which I use more for Netflix but I still like to play Call of Duty, the graphics are amazing.

I had one of those too at one point. I remember when my Uncle and his wife lived with us for a short period, I would stay up until 3 or 4 am playing a game called Sea Base Delta.

I loves me some Tetris on my old Gamboy. I play it almost every day on my lunch break at work.
When I'm home I love Age of Mythology the Titans. When my computer was down, I pined for this game on a regular basis. I like playing a couple of the Spyro games and Rayman on the Play Station. I use my Wii mostly to get Netflix and what not, but some of the Mario Bros games are fun to play.

Prototype 1, and 2. I know it's just a basic TPS hack and slash, but at that time when I've played I really loved every minute of it. Also I wrote to the company who made the first game, and the CEO contacted me, and sent me goodies, and because of this I'm forever grateful for him.

Hmmmmm......

I remember playing Galaga and Centipede on the arcade stuff. I was pretty good. And yeah, I played Pong before any other video game had even been produced.

Contra was another one. It was fun enough There was a cheat to get weapons or lives or something. Some people here could probably remember it. It was like A+B+A+B+left+left+left+right+up+down or something like that.

Goldeneye came out, and it was fun. There was another cheat to get a bunch of weapons.

I don't think I've played a videogame since then, so, what, maybe 15 years ago?

PONG! LMAO! PONG! I loved that game, forgot all about it. That was maybe more than 30 years ago.... really? :umm: I was in my late teens, or early 20s when I played pong, so wow. Where has the time gone?

Sega Genesis - I recall both watching my cousin play Aladdin and The Lion King and as well as playing them myself on her console. I honestly forgot about that until just now.
SNES - My game was Killer Instinct. My brother was better at the game than me, but I got pretty good by playing him and getting killed over and over again. Super Mario Kart (back when Rainbow Road was actually hard) and Vortex were also really fun. Also had the converter to play the Gameboy games on there like Donkey Kong Land, Super Mario Land 2 and Wario Land. Tetris, too.
N64 - Mario Kart 64 was fun. Trying to remember some of the other games I played, but I'm drawing a blank.
PS2 - I played The Godfather on there and beat it. Pretty easy. Also played Madden 08 and Scarface. I inherited my brother's system and he mostly had sports and racing games. Haven't played many of the other games for that console.

Anything beyond PS2 I've never touched. Time spent playing games is time I could be watching anime. :D

Oh, man. My friend Curt and I used to go to the local university center, and they had one (1) Pong game there. That was somewhere between '71 and '73, pretty sure. So over 40 years ago.
