My first was the GameCube, the one that came with Super Mario Sunshine and I would play that game for hours. Even though the Gamecube wasn’t Nintendos best console it’s one of my favourites just for the nostalgia factor.
It was fruity Franck on armstrad CPC. You had to insert a floppy disk and type EXACTLY the program’s name, which i couldn’t because me as a child always called it tutty fruity. My uncle needed to be here if i wanted to play.
Some kind of Pong game. I was really little and it was my grandmother’s, so I don’t even remember what the actual unit looked like.
Then the Atari 2600 (my aunt’s), then the Atari 5200 (my grandmother’s - she was unstoppable at Pac-Man and could start from Cherry and work all the way up to nine keys without dying once).
Then there was the day we rented an NES. That day changed my life.
It was Super Mario Bros. Start the game. “Oh hey, the screen moves sideways! Good lord, this is a huge game.” Dies a bunch.Find pipe shortcut. “Oh wow!” Finally beat level 1-1. “Yay, I beat the game! Oh wait, World 1-2? WTF?!?!?”
It’s hard to explain the feeling when the most immersive game you’ve ever played was Pitfall.
Not sure which game was first, but I have early memories of Tomb Raider, COD2 and Larry on a Win95 PC. My first used console was an PS2 while the first I owned was an original Xbox. My first used handheld an original GameBoy, with the Advance SP being the first I owned myself.
The oldest ones I used are different tho. I’m not that old but I went back to try a few older devices over the years.
The Commodore Amiga. But before that I remember entering into an arcade room when zi was camping with my parents. It was semidark, and there were all these machines: Dragon’s Lair, R Type, Double Dragons. Boy, I’ll never forget that.
