The game cube and the gameboy color

N64 was the shit back in the day. I miss those days before shooters engulfed the market.

I was introduced to video game consoles in 2002.

 

New: PlayStation 2, but these specific consoles were somewhat faulty in retail stores.

Most popular: PS1, Gameboy Color.

 

PC first-person shooters were becoming a really popular thing as well starting from 2001.

The PSX. I remember it like it was yesterday. The first ever videogame I played was a Spyro game. It was so awesome.

When I was a kid? The Antikythera mechanism...

I had a stupid old brick Gameboy while this cool kid had a Gameboy color. i Was so jealous. Ahh good memories, everything was so simple and fun back then.

I remember the N64 being the new console that everyone wanted when I was a kid. Back then I couldn't buy my own toys so when I got one for Christmas I was super excited. I wanted to play it right away but I couldn't figure out how to hook it up. It was the first console I had that came with composite video cables. The TV only had two inputs, one for video and one for audio. Because the cable had stereo audio connectors, I thought it wouldn't work.

Those were the days...

[Jadefire 2,796]

I remember the first Playstation, after growing up with the Genesis.

 

Man, you guys make me feel young. =P

[Doctor XFizzle 8,651]

I would set my range from Sega Genesis to Game Boy Color to PS1/N64 when I was a kid.

 

Anyone have a Game Gear? That was interesting lol. Battery life sucked though.

 

[MVC NVMXD JVRXD 2,406]

Well... Gameboy Advance. The only games I ever played on it were like Pokemon Fire Red and Emerald.

[Shadowed Watcher 183]

Gameboy color.. I wanted one so bad but never got one Ended up getting a Gameboy Advance SP (whatever its called) years later though for my birthday, best birthday ever xD

I don't have my Game Gear anymore, but I do still have a Nomad.

 

[Evilshy 5,089]

First game I ever played was sonic for the Genesis.

 

Although I didn't really start gaming until the N64 days, which was when I was around 10ish.

[Silver Boulder 123]

The first console I remember playing was the Super Nintendo...I was born in the year of 1992, a year after the SNES had came out so I didn't know what was popular xD I know about the Genesis/Nintendo wars back then but I was too young to know about that

 

The N64 and PS1 was when I was starting to experience games more. I remember we'd be playing a lot of multiplayer oriented games...one in particular to this day I love to death

 

Anyone remember Crash Team Racing?

 

 

Nothing but playing this with our friends. We didn't have a playstation, only N64 so we played this..a LOT, more than I'm afraid to admit xD

Yup! I've had one since 1994 when I bought it and Sonic Triple Trouble simultaneously, and I have it stored somewhere in my room. The battery life was hideously short, but I had a power adapter that allowed me to play during school break endlessly. A purchase I still don't regret.

[PoisonClaw 8,153]

The brightly coloured-and-slimmed-down brick known as the Gameboy Color was the newest thing around the time I got into gaming, though before that was the Nintendo 64 and PS1. Ah...the good old days of when my siblings and I would actively stop trying to kill each other for more than two minutes to play a round of Mario Party or Smash Bros.

[abstrusesketches 11]

The PS1 and Gameboy Color belive it or not I didn't know one person who had an N64 other than my Brother I remember alot of the PS1s libary even obscure games like Tombi, Vib-Ribbon or Kula World from friends and Demo Discs (I wish I kept that copy of Tombi knowing how much that game goes for nowerdays)

[Dasher 119]

My game boy advance sp was all that mattered to me now it rots in my room alone with all of its accessories, and my sisters hardly used game boy. I remember when I would go to my friends house then run all the way back home just to get my gameboy and then come back to his house and battle each other in one of the super mario advance games or trade pokemon.

When I was 10, the Nintendo 64 was the big console.

 

Oh how I wish Nintendo could go back to their N64 and GCN days. When they made good games instead of gimmicks.

[Runty 41]

'Twas the Play Station 1, i didn't notice much else as i played on a computer.

[Finesthour 7,284]

Gameboy color, of course xD

[Shankveld 4,945]

I remember a lot of video game consoles being popular, but I didn't stat playing until I was older. I got a gameboy, ps1 and n64 ~

[Dave247 568]

I can't remember how old I was but it was the Game boy colour for me. I only ever had four games for it though one of them being Pokemon Yellow which I never took the time to finish. There was also Conkers Pocket Tales, never finished that game either as it was too damn hard. I still have it but it's in pieces now as my dad took it apart when the screen stopped working properly.

I still have my GBA SP that works though which I got at a later date. Limited Zelda edition too. Also still got my 2 GBA games and my 4 GBC games.

 

There was also the Commodore 64 that my father owned that I used to play on around the same time. Unfortunately the disk drive broke for that so my dad threw it out. It wasn't until afterwards that he found a spare part that could of fixed it.

 

Much later I got a PS1 then eventually a Xbox. My parents were cheap so they didn't buy me games though but instead taught me how to get games for free. I blame that on them.
