Remember your first time?

Postby Pimphand_Gamester1 » January 11th, 2015, 10:26 am

I'd like to build a MAME cabinet about the size of those Coleco's but kind of pointless I guess when I have a JXD.

I did build this however, but never even use it anymore

The first videogame I ever _saw_ was 'Computer Space' being played by my older brother back in the mid 70s.

I think the first game I ever _played_ myself was a B&W 'Sub Hunter' arcade machine.

No, I don't. But my aunt does:

you were about 3 years old. you & your folks came for [my best friend]'s wedding and to meet your step grandmother.  the week leading up to the wedding was very hot & humid.  the morning of the wedding arrived cold & wet.  the ceremony was outdoors.  then the reception was outdoors, though it was a covered pavilion. after a few hours, we were all frozen, but not ready to stop partying, so we all moved to a local bar, called the barrel (because that's exactly the structure of the building!)

they had a ms pacman game.  your were entranced.  someone got a milk crate, or a chair or something for you to stand on, and stand & watch you did...for hours!  once in a while someone would put in a quarter for you, but it didn't matter. you were entertained just watching. [/QUOTE]

As for the first time that I do remember...I wrote about it at length last summer and posted an article on Retro-Daze. TL;DR version -- I found a dollar at the beach and couldn't find anything to do with it but video games. Thus was I hooked again, for good this time.

I remember playing Donkey Kong at the local burger shack when I was really little. I had no idea what to do back then, I just liked picking up the hammer and smashing barrels. My grandma got me a SNES for my fourth birthday, and it came it Donkey Kong Country, so that was the first video game I actually PLAYED, played... If that makes sense.
