Write your GAMING HISTORY!!

[Haseeb]

Hi guys , I thought this would be a cool topic so I started a thread about it.
In this thread , you all guys will share your gaming history including your inspirations , experience or whatever.
Ok so lets start , here's my history.

I am 16 years old , pretty ancient guy
I have no idea why but I had Sega Genesis in my house before I was grown enough to play it. I loved it so much , in fact my dad had bought me a cartridge that had about 32 Sega Genesis games , I remember me and my brother play Side Pocket , Streets of Rage , Pacman , Rambo etc. on it , so damn fun!! I miss those days!
In 2003 , we got our first Computer ever , it was Pentium 4 1.7Ghz , I always said it was the best computer of that time lol
I played so much PC games on it , Mame 32 and Sega Blaster introduced me to emulators , so Sega Genesis wasn't anymore needed.
In 2008 , I was so much interested in PS2 games , I loved Tekken Tag Tournament and other amazing PS2 games.
So in 2009 we demanded PS2 and in January 2010 we got it
PS2 introduced me to the best game ever "Shadow of the Colossus"
As the days passed , me and my brother started watching Naruto , we learned that Naruto Storm 2 was only on Xbox 360 and PS3 , the PS2 era had ended.
In mid 2011 , we got a new Xbox 360 Ahhhh , I remember that dayyyyy!!!
Last year after my 10th exams , I bought a new PSP 3000 for its awesome exclusives. I have played a lot games on it , I have almost every good homebrew on it including all emulators.
I still have 360 with a lot of games and I love it, I plan to buy PS4 next year or in 2016.

About 6 months ago , I bought new Windows 8.1 Tablet "Lenovo Miix 2 8" , its awesome ! I am currently learning programming and developing a game "Resident Evil - Salvage Hunting" on it

Timeline :

SAGA GENESIS = 1999 - 2010 (It stopped working in 2010)
PC = 2003 - 2012
PS2 = 2010 - 2011 Mid
Xbox 360 = 2011 - Present
PSP = 2013 - Present
Windows 8.1 Gaming = 2014 - Present

I have never had any Android phone , sounds weird but I really have nothing to do with cell phones.

So that was my little story , what's yours?

[GuilhermeGS2]

I don't remember first time I played a game, and I don't have a "game history". ^^

The game I really played first was the NFSU2 on a very poor PC, had I Celeron D and a strange onboard card with 16Mb of memory. ^^

In 2010 I bought my first videogame, a PS2, OMG was awesome, the game I more played is Winning Eleven 10, I loved it, then also played some NFS games, Medal of Honor, GTA SA...This year I bought my PS3, it's pretty awesome, like to play BF3, NFS Rivals, PES 2015, and others. Now I'm building a basic PC gamer, not too weak, just for play some games, even it running in low or medium settings, I'll upgrade with a better configuration soon.

As you can see, my "game history" is crap and very recent, my dad doesn't like games and never let me play games when a kid, he still doesn't like, but now is better than before, at least now I have my videogame and a PC.

When i was 4 years old, i played computer game first time. (2004) I dont remember it's name but it was a racing game.
In 2008 my dad gave me his old laptop (one year old and it was so awesome). I loved rally games, like Colin McRae rally etc.
2011 i got this computer and this is my best friend My favorite games are Battlefield 3 and CS: Source and GO. And today i played ets2 too.

Notable Games on GBA : Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land, Zatchbell!: Electric Arena, Mortal Kombat: Advance, Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island, Naruto: Ninja Council 2, probably that's it... I only have few gba cartridges

Notable Games on PSP : Naruto: Ultimate Ninja Heroes, Hot Wheels Ultimate Racing, Warriors Orochi, Dynasty Warriors Series, Samurai Warriors: State of War, Metal Slug: Anthology, SOCOM, Tekken: DR & 6, Marvel Nemesis: Rise of the Imperfects, Brave Story: New Traveler, Bleach: Heat the Souls Series, DBZ Shin Budokai: Another Road, GTA: VCS and LCS, Fifa Street 2, WWE Smackdown vs. Raw 2008, NFS Most Wanted: 5-1-0, Megaman Powered Up, Sonic Rivals etc.

Mid High School I got my own PC (desktop) and never got another game console up to now. (That desktop is dead now... I'm currently on Laptop specs in my sig ). Oh well those are the times that many good PC games are announced and Emulators begin to flock the internet

Present day.. PC games are my main thing and on Emulators I'm currently enjoying PPSSPP... probably best three would be this, PCSX2, and Dolphin Emulator and the best between the three would be PPSSPP because of it's compatibility and performance Almost all of my games here are perfectly playable in high resolution without any lag or annoying bugs and I'm loving it

started off as kid playing NES Famicom games in the early 90s, then got a Genesis console followe by PSone. Then wanted a cheap handheld and something which i never had: The GBC purple one played Pokemon and lots. Then my PS1 broke so got the PS2. I never had a PSP, GBA, NDS, N64 now i can play them on my cell along with many PS1 games that i never had.

[Haseeb]

GuilihermeGS2 , so you're a PC gamer , cool! In fact I'm looking forward to get a laptop that can play PCSX2 games smoothly , can you recommend me specifications? I've tried PCSX2 on a Core i3 1.4ghz laptop , oh god that was crap!!

JuissiFIN , hyvä hyvä Good luck with your new gaming PC , have fun!

Cybrcjt , by reading your post , it seems like you're a huge Metal Slug fan like me I love Metal Slug! Best retro shooting game in my opinion , Metal SLug 2 is my personal favorite. I can't believe did you miss Sega Genesis games? :O There are amazing SG games , I still play them on my PSP by emulator. Streets of Rage series is just wonderful series!

Vampire , Cool , I've never had NES , I now play NES games by emulators

Not really a fan of Metal Slug but one of the games I always played on my childhood times with my cousins on PS1, Arcade shops etc. About Sega the actual consoles yep never got any consoles except those I mentioned but of course when the Emulator era begins to bloom I tested some games on the Sega series platform.. Genesis and Dreamcast.

Age: 24

My list in no particular order, some were my fathers consoles/handhelds:

Atari 2600, QuickShot Supervision, Game Gear, GameBoy Colour, GameBoy Advance, Master System, Mega Drive [x2], PC, Laptop, Dreamcast [x3], Saturn, PS1, PS2, PS3 [x2], PSP-2000 [x2]/3000, GP2X CAANOO, Smartphones [iPhone 4/4S/5/5S | Android G300, OnePlus One],

Now i only use RetroArch on my OnePlus One to carry my historic collection with me at all times. I still own all these consoles; how much do you folks think this collection is worth, i also have the games and cases/booklets intact?

Your clothes, give them to me.

[Haseeb]

Nice new profile picture And I can't give you my clothes.

[GuilhermeGS2]

Haseeb, I'm not a PC gamer, I'm a PS3 gamer. My PC currently is crap for games, but this history will change next year.

I don't understand much about PC neither laptop. But, if you have no plan for buy a offboard video card, at least buy one with HD graphics 3000 or 4000 for better performance. If possible, look for a 4th gen processor with hd graphics 4600. If you play in native resolution, I think you won't have problems.

Short story:

1-I started with Atari.
2- After that, I got the Phantom System (alternative console for Nintendo).
3- After that, I got the Snes (one of the best consoles of all time, in my opinion).
4-Then, I got the Nintendo 64.
5-When Xbox, PS2 and GameCube was launched, I entered in a hibernation mode. Didn’t get any console. At that time I just played my old games… and sometimes I played PS2 and GameCube games in my friend’s houses.
6-I got a Wii!! o/
7-I got a PC (using until today)
8-I got a DS.
9-I got an Android phone (using until today, emulating old stuff).

Yes, you may say I’m a Nintendo fanboy, but I’m not the only one! =p

Remarkable games:
-Atari: Pitfall
-Phantom System (Nintendo): Super Mario 1, 2 and 3.
-Snes: Super Mario World, Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy III (originally FF6) and Zelda: A Link to the Past (second best game of all time)
-N64: Super Mario 64 and Zelda: Ocarina of Time
-PS1: Final Fantasy VII, VIII, IX and Tactics, Resident Evil 1, 2 and 3.
-GameCube: Resident Evil 4, Zelda Wind Waker and Twilight Princess
-GBA: Zelda Minish Cap
-Wii: Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2; and Zelda Skyward Sword (best game of all times)
-DS: Zelda Spirit Tracks and Phantom Hourglass, 999
-PSP: Final Fantasy Tactics (best version).
-PC: Resident Evil 5, Dragon Age 1 and 2, Mass Effect 1,2 and 3, Fallout 3 and New Vegas, Skyrim and Batman 1. The olds, Doom 3!
