My first video game thing from Facebook

[Anderson]

I'm trying to spot emerging trends. So, help me out for those not on the FB.


What was your first Atari game?
What was your first Nintendo (8-bit) game?
What was your first Sega (Genesis) game?
What was your first Super Nintendo game?
What was your first Arcade game?

1. I had an Intellivision. Beauty and the Beast was my jam.
2. I had a Sega Master System. First game was Ghostbusters, which I never beat because Gozer was a BITCH.
3. Didn't have a Genesis
4. Not counting a Super Mario World my first SNES game was either Link to the Past or F-Zero, I don't remember which.
5. THe first arcade game I remember playing is Pole Position.

GOOD! Contrast.

You had a Master System and your first game wasn't the hidden snake game? BULLSHIT

[Anderson]

What's killing me is that between the site mailing list, FB and other means. I've received 76 replies so far.

The parallels between the 76 replies leaves me with a grand total of 19 games to examine.

I didn't even know about the hidden snake game until right now. Wtf. But in reading about it, I didn't have the right model. I had the one with Hang On and Safari Hunt built in.

Safari Hunt was my first Master System game. Hang On was second. Hang On fucking OWNED.

And I said Pitfall for Atari, but it might have been this space game that was something similar to Star Gate. There were "gates' you could hit that warped you around. I don't remember the name, so I default to Pitfall.

Atari: Pitfall 2.
NES: Duck Hunt.
Master System: Casino Games. The one where when you run outta cash, you get a downer fucking ending of being a broke degenrate kicking a can down the street. Hang On was so dope.
SNES: Actraiser.
Genesis: Kid Chameleon.
Arcade: The bartop version of Pac-Man at Da Pizza Joint in South Padre. Shit, it mighta been Ms. Pac Man.

[BillyG]

I would give so much for a cocktail Pac-Man or Ms. Pac-Man table.

[Captain Russ]

I want a Galaga one so fucking bad.

[B_Metal]

Atari: Combat
NES: That damned Gyro game because I had the robot and someone already said duckhunt
Master System: Psh Whatev's Sega is lame.
SNES: A link to the past because awesome that's why.
Genesis: See Master system.
Arcade: Dragons Lair 3D

[Captain Russ]

You missed out on MK on the Genesis. Shit was fun.

[B_Metal]

Well, I did play some genesis games to be honest but never OWNED one. So I guess I could add those if I could recall what I played first.
