Topic: What's your earliest gaming memory?

Super Mario Land was one of the first games I actually owned! However my first experience was playing Super Mario World on SNES, somehow when I go back to it today it doesn't feel the same way when I first played, but It's still one of my most favourite Mario games out there, not surprising though.
The first console/handheld I got was a red Gameboy Pocket and it came with a game called Chase HQ, which wasn't particularly fun, but it made me want to buy another game. At the time, I really wanted Pokemon but it was sold out and instead I bought Warioland II.

Never owned a Warioland game before, but I got to play it in exchange for helping a kid out on Pokemon Red

Pretty recent, but I remember I was extremely excited about the character choice in SSBM. I was mind blown at the amount of characters that I recognized in there. I believe I was about 4 or 5.

^{Yeah, I know I'm young.}

I was around 8 when that came out. It was one of the first GCN games I got. I saw SSB on the cover and I am like "mom get that!" because I had played the N64 one and thought it was amazing! Surprisingly I was super bummed when I first played it, because I thought it was the same game as the N64 for one that my friend had, but alas it wasn't. It was better after I started playing more. I was absolutely dumbfounded when I saw the credits roll after I played maybe 10 minutes of the game hahaha

I was in Kindergarten...don't remember how old I was...
My parents bought me and my brother a PlayStation. We had one game with it, but no memory card. The game was either Crash Bandicoot 2 or 3.
I just remember my brother leaving the system on so we didn't have to start over every time we wanted to play.
Good times...good times...

First Nintendo memory is...I watched my godsister play Banjo and Kazooie on her Nintendo64. That's it. I didn't play until maybe...a year or two later. Mario Party 3 at my cousin's house.

kyuubikid213: Ah yes those were the days. Back when you had to start over on Crash or Spyro from the beginning. Having to rush to the spot you were last time, just to make progress haha!

Not sure if it was playing built-in MineStorm on the Vectrex, or my Donkey Kong tabletop game.

Game&watch Donkey Kong when I was ...4 years old! That I still have!

for me it's pong, Atari Tennis (2 person pong), Lunar Lander, then pacman; playing that weeks on end every free moment for handheld it was mattel Football, baseball & Racing, I still the ball games the best rendition of ball games I've ever played to date.

Jurassic Park on the Genesis. I was about 4 or 5, but was terrified of that game. Still am a little lol.

Well my earliest gaming memory was my first game for the GB (Spider-Man and The X-Men in Arcades Revenge), but I suppose my first great memory was starting up Dragon Quest III for the GBC. Not knowing anything about RPG's, being unable to get anywhere in the game without dying - and yet having the time of my life!

Atari 2600 + OUTLAW = good grief that was fun... the guy on the boxart looks like my dad : /

My 10th Birthday, Mar '81 with the Atari 2600.

The green Mattel football game. What fond memories...

My brother's birthday when he was about 6 and I was about 4, he got a GBA and Spongebob: Revenge of the Flying Dutchman. My grandpa also gave me a Popeye Game and Watch

I think, when I first saw Super Mario World and F-Zero being played by my dad. also when I played Super Mario All-Stars when I was very young, and when I tried to walk over the small gaps, I fell XD keep in mind I didn't know about the run button at that time, I was like 3 years old or so

playing Super Marios Bros on NES

Coming home from preschool to own on Super Mario Bros. 3. I could never understand why that sun was so angry at me.

I remember when I was around 6 or 7 and my dad had a comm 64 in the house... I loved playing the games on there.. honestly I can't remember if it was pitfall or not.. because I played pitfall and frogger alot on Atari 2400 as well..

odyssey. need i say more?
