Not long after I came into existence, my parents bought an Atari 2600 (for themselves). I was very little at the time (like ~3 years old), but the one game that I have vivid memories of playing (or trying to play) is:

Smurf: Rescue In Gargamel’s Castle

My first real gaming memories are, however, with the NES. I initially got four games with my NES console: Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, Gyromite (it was the system that included R.O.B. the robot), and…

Like many kids from my generation, I was obsessed with The Karate Kid (the original one, you know, with Ralph Macchio and Pat Morita - R.I.P.), so naturally this was the first game I played (and beat, btw :+1: ).

So my earliest memory is Galaxian which I played on the family Atari VCS(2600). I was 4 maybe five? We still had the box for Galaxian I remember looking at it all the time, back when box art was art and never a clear representation of what you were getting yourself into.

I believe it was Combat for Atari. I was real young, three or four, and I’d play against my sister, who was two years older. The game was mostly smacking against walls and spinning around, failing to orient ourselves. Eventually, my sister would get enough bearing to get near me, aim in my direction, and riddle me with bullets.

It didn’t bother me because, really, I didn’t understand how to properly play any of those Atari games. Only my brother was old enough to really understand what the goals were, but they were still fun to muck about in.

Got some fond memories of that one. I remember when my coaster broke and started catching fire. Several people died. Being 9 or 10 years old at the time I had the time of my life.

When I was three, I used to stay up until 2 or 3 am watching my dad play Warcraft while sitting on his lap. A year later, I played my first game :muscle:
