Does the Offspring come to mind when thinking of the Dreamcast? I can't get it out of my head now.

My first console was an Atari 2600. Well that was my family’s first.

My own fist was the original NES. Saved up my paper route money to buy it.

My first was the 5200 and my favorite game was Joust. Killing the pterodactyl was the highlight too.

[–] Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 5 points 16 hours ago

The 5200's was the best home version of Joust.

Granted I was pretty young, but I friggin loved the ColecoVision. It had a respectable game library and Zaxxon in particular was the stuff. I remember my mom playing Ladybug (Pacman clone) frequently.

Welp. Guess I'm spending the rest of my evening looking for an emulator.

PolyStation. I'm from center Europe, so Famiclones were a big thing in the 90s.

The revolution will be televised!

I still play towerfall, and occasionally the amazing frog?

I had an 800. Had the cassette tape media drive and some game for it, but could never get it working.

Also had that awful ET game.

I recall writing a screensaver in basic and letting it run overnight.

Hey, do you want like 400,000 more copies of E.T? They're just sitting there. In some landfill.

Loved the Wii but it definitely wasn't my first (NES) but have fond memories with all the consoles my friends owned when I was.growing up

[–] h3mlocke@lemm.ee 3 points 17 hours ago

Ha it's me. Wow.

[–] SinningStromgald@lemmy.world 3 points 18 hours ago

Atari Jaguar. No one I knew had one and the only place to play one was a single game store in a mall that you had to pay to play. I paid twice to play and was in love.

This is what happens when parents don't vaccine. When you are very young, you can get vaccinated with computer gaming. You can absolutely still enjoy consoles and the great games that come out on them, but you have a certain protection against obsessing over a specific console.

For me it was Commodore 64 I was vaccinated with. This also let me enjoy a future of DOS gaming right along side NES and Genesis gaming.

That is just inviting people to start throwing out names of lesser-known systems. Can we narrow it down to Western (including South America), Eastern European, or South-east Asian before we start?
