Paperboy Posts: 26 Joined: 30 Aug 2008 | hehe, i can trounce most of you here, but i'm beaten by a select few. my first computer games were on the BBC Micro, and it was either: - XOR (best puzzle game ever?... and it HAS to be the BBC version... the other, later one was RUBBISH) or - Bonecruncher i had thousands of games.... literally THOUSANDS... in groups of 30 or so, on floppy disks (back when they were actually floppy!). some, i actually had retail versions of. great game sleeves! like books. |

Beat Writer Posts: 137 Joined: 28 Nov 2007 | Elite on the Spectrum. Took me a year or so before I managed to dock at a station, seeing as I was four or so. Looking back, I find it hard to believe I kept trying. |

I apologize to all the people on the website who are somehow offended by a thread being re-made, but I just found out the difference between the search forums and general search, and please, Let's not resort to name calling. |
Infamous Scribbler Posts: 575 Joined: 19 Jun 2008 | My first game was Sonic the Hedgehog on the Genisis, but I've only been truely into gamining for a few years, and the first game that got me hooked was Super Mario Sunshine. I know, sad, but I only played for the platform segments. |

Infamous Scribbler Posts: 546 Joined: 27 Aug 2008 | The Lion King, Batman Begins and Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Mega Drive. I LOVED them all, but tried to emulate them the other day... They're too damn hard. It's shameful, but I can do better on Uncharted (Crushing) than I can on the bloody Lion King. I beat the thing when I was four, so I'm left wondering what the hell happened. |

It's time to play... Bonecruncher... If you can tell me what the rest of the words were in the introduction, you'd be resolving a twenty year old argument between me and my best friend. |

Paperboy Posts: 25 Joined: 21 Feb 2008 | I very, VERY vaguely remember playing Pitfall! on the Atari 2600 at a relative's house when I was 3 or 4. I think my brother had a Sega Master System around that same time, but I honestly can't remember ever playing anything on it. The first game I distinctly remember playing was Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt on the NES on my 5th birthday. |

Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt
I don't feel old (even though my game isn't as old as your game), but I do think these are young whippersnappers to be sure.
