First console was an NES! First games I remember playing were Ghostbusters and the TMNT arcade game. First time I fell in love with a video game...FF7. I'm excited for Rebirth to come out some day lol
The Atari 2600. I don’t remember which games we owned, I was about 4 at the time, didn’t even understand the objectives of the games. But then our parents got us the NES with the Zapper a few years later and by then I was old enough to understand how to play both Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt.
A rudimentary analog type of Pong, assembled from a PCB that came with an electronics magazine and parts from the local equivalent of RadioShack. The controllers were potentiometers mounted on plastic salt shakers, the display was a crt b&w tv.
I was 11, it was my first contact with electronics, coached by one of my mother’s former student who was visiting - he was from Japan, my mother was a highschool teacher and taught him Portuguese (I’m Brazilian) after classes, for which he was grateful.
That kickstarted my interest in electronics and tech, which defined my whole career. Thanks Kenji, wherever you are!
Unsure, and depends on what counts as "playing". My brother got an old computer for cheap a long time ago. There was a floppy disc with a game on it. I don’t have more impressions of it than walking around in some weird geometry on the black-and-white monitor. Some sort of chess-board floor I think.
Truly gaming would probably be one of those small Tetris handhelds. I still have mine. Used to play for hours on car rides. Either that or Game Boy Pocket.
I was scarred by the OG Crash and it took a long time to convince myself to buy the remastered version. The time it took to go for platinum still haunts me :D
we had a c64 in my family at one point too. ghetto blaster/street beat, pipeland, dart tower, street surfer, bc quest for tires [you play as a caveman riding around standing on a wheel], one man and his droid. i played those.
