"Everbody remembers their first game."

Everyone keeps talkin about the future of gaming, but why don't we pause and think about the olden days...

I can remember my first time playing like it was yesterday. It was for the sega master system2 called Alex Kid(i notice there is a guy about here with the same name).

We unpacked the box and out came the chunky black console, with the pause button situated on the console itself. I picked up the rectangle controller, with 2 buttons and dpad the only things had to worry about.

It got connected all up and then we turned it on. SEGA flashed on screen followed by ALEX KID in MIRICLE WORLD.
Excited, i pressed start and got underway.

Ahh what a great game it was... punching the dragons/birds/dinosaurs, avoiding the goasts that appeared when you hit a surpprise box, collecting money to buy a moterbike or helecopter, feeling good when you find the end of the level and tucking in to a great big burger. And the clasic music everbody who has played it will remember, it was all fantastic...

The best bit was the bosses, they were great. Come on, when have you seen bosses that can only be beaten by playing paper sissors stone?

Don't you think it's about time Sega made a new version on one of it's best game characters?

Anyway happy memories for me, and they started me off on a hobbie that i really enjoy.

What is your first experence playing a proper computer game?

desert strike rocked too now that i think about it.

The first proper console game I played was Golden Axe on the Sega Megadrive. It came bundled with it, so I didn't have a choice. I never liked the arcade version of it so wasn't looking forward too much to the console version, and the only joy I got out of it was the fact that I wasn't having to put in 10 pence everytime I played it.

My second ever game, Altered Beast wasn't much better, even at the time.

Mortal Kombat on the other hand, when it eventually got released, was a gaming revelation. It was this game, along with Sensible Soccer, John Madden '90 and Road Rash that really got me hooked into gaming.

The claws have yet to let go.

You wait and see Sheepy.
