Spin-Out for the Odyssey 2 is literally my earliest memory of a video game (the bright colors and the smashy sound the cars made when they crashed are forever imprinted on my brain). Video games have been a part of my family–and my life–since I was born, which was during the same year as the North American Video Game Crash. The crash allowed even a family as poor as ours to own some early consoles, and playing games on them was often a family activity.
In my life, I’ve watched video games go from this to their current state, and have been playing them the entire time. I feel both humbled and very fortunate.
Fuck you I don’t care what you people say ocarina of time was my childhood.
Fuck…my first experience with a game, as clichéd as it sounds, was Super Mario Bros. However the actual game that always stuck by was some space exploration game that was on an old Windows 98 called ‘The Oddessy Tour’. Then again there was always MegaMan Battle Network:
Stepdad had a playstation that he didn’t play. This and one other game was the only games I had til they bought more games for me. Then I found out memory cards existed xD
