Super Mario Sunshine and Pac Man 2
X-Wing
TIE fighter
Secret of Mana

You know you’re old when most of the answers involve video games from one era or another.
The first video game we owned was a Coleco Telstar, which came out in 1976. It had a whopping 3 games:
- hockey
- handball
- tennis
Basically all were just variations of Pong…
Yep I naively expected to see board games and what not. Cos I keep forgetting I’m ooolllddd
Probably Star Wars Battlefront, THPS/THUG, or Ocarina of Time
But Oracle of Seasons was the first game I owned
Kick the Can.
xenos, interactive fiction from like 30 years ago
I got a few.
N64 command and conquer I can still hear the commando blowing up logo and saying that was left handed.
Ocarina of Time
Skies of Arcadia
And kotor, but for some reason I remember the pazak mini game more than anything else.
I loved that command and conquer game! It was actually my pivot point into PC gaming, because I picked up Red Alert 2 and there was no going back.
I’d say it’s a tie between The Curse of Monkey Island and Wing Commander (1 and 2).
Oh, there’s a monkey in my pocket, And he’s stealing all my change, His stare is blank and glassy, I suspect that he’s deranged…
-Operation Wolf Dad would watch me play. He would bring other people to come in and watch how good I was. -Mario Golf Dad would play with us, he even kept a spreadsheet, on grid paper, to track his stats. -Ultima 3 First game on a PC. Mom got it to play with me and my little sister after Dad died. She couldn’t figure out how to get it to work. I ended up playing it alone years later, but only after learning enough MS-DOS to figure out how to even get it running. CD…
Hug your parents. Play with your kids.
My earliest memory is peeking over the guard rail of my toddler bed so that I could watch my dad play Gradius. He passed away 2 years ago and I miss him every day.
Handheld Zelda link’s awakening for the Gameboy hits me the hardest as it was the first I owned myself bought with my first jobs mowing lawns and delivering papers.
Console, NES contra watching my older brothers get way further than I could at the time & teach me the Konami code
PC xwing, I had a f16 flight stick and my siblings would play splitting weapons/shield/engines distribution to a copilot and the pilot flying and aiming. That mission where you have to fly back and forth protecting the Corvette from imperial attacks from both sides jumping in and out of the area was peak retro space combat gaming.
Ghostbusters on C64. Love that game to this day.
Quest for Glory and Kyrandia!
I loved that Quest for Glory soundtrack.
Is Kyrandia the one where you play a jester in the 3rd game? I remember liking that one a lot.
I did t know you play as Malcolm in the third game! I’ll have to play the second and third once I’m done with a replay of the first one!
Yes. Malcolm’s revenge or something like that. That’s more click action like qfg3+ vs typing out everything like qfg1&2. It’s easy to get lost without a guide in the earlier games.
