Alrighty - I'm a big fan of video games. I was first introduced to video games when I was about 10 😲 .

I remember spending hours playing Mario & Contra 😎

Which games did you play when you were a kid?

I started my gaming career😁 with mario. I still remember that I used to complete the whole Mario game in just 12-15 mins. Better I played many games in 8-bit versions like Contra, variant of Marios, Battle Tank, Adventure Island (we call him Jungle Mario) and many. We generally bought new game cassetes every sunday and complete it till next sunday.
Later I started playing on 16-bit games like Mortal Kombat, WWE, etc are main. I mastered my skills in Mortal Kombat game by hitting too many 'Brutality' & 'Fatality ' to opponent.
After I completed my 10th, I started playing games in consoles & pc. I liked all racing games and GTA games. I am now pro-gamer (as per me) in all NFS games and completed all the versions of it. I have also completed GTA series. I don't like 3rd person shooting games. I like arcade, racing, role playing games. I love to bet on race with my friends too and I am doing it very often and also won most of them.
Thats all my gaming past!!!!!

I don't know how many of you heard of this game.

But my affair with Gaming started with this very small game called Paratrooper.
It's a game where you've to stop paratroopers from landing on your base. A simple shooting game, basically.

And then, I went to Mario. No one could miss that, of course.
Then Contra and the numerous variants of it.

One special game is bomberman. Just loved it..

And so on, I went on to higher level games..

Pong for at home games and I believe Asteroids was the first arcade game I played. The Colleco sport handheld games were popular. Being from the early hayday of arcade games, much time was spent on Joust, Defender, Centipede, Galaga, Moonpatrol, Pacman, Frogger.

The first game I played was Tetris. Had a hand held tetris game console. My second console was a little bigger to be called hand-held. It was rather like a lap-top, had a larges screen and bigger buttons and you could play pinbball on it, thats all.
Later on I had a hand held GameBoy Advance in which you had to insert mini cassettes. I had Turtles, Double Dragon, Zelda....and a few more.
Then came the videon game console which was attached to T.V., it played cassetes. Some of the games I remember are....Contra, Mario(Super Mario, Doctor Mario ..etc), Pacman, Turtles, Tetris, Bomber-Man, Galaga, Excite Bike, Wrestling, Battletanks, Adventure Island, Tennis, There was a racing game in which superman went past if you didn't crash once and gave you extra points, another one in which you are a Ninja and have to escape from the jungle..the list is endless.
Here is a link where you can play a 100 of these 8-bits on your browser. Though not comparable to the consoles but still good enough to relive the memories.

hm.. a DOS-ported game called Dig Dug, around 1991/92 I think. Remember those 5 [sup]1[/sup]/[sub]4[/sub] inch diskettes?

I've never owned a game console, even to this day. Usually just go over to my friends house 😉

My first game was PONG, i had a console as big as a playstation which only ran PONG. and then i switched to Atari, ( a brand something like sony playstation nowadays, which ran on diskettes ) which games i still remember are 'Lemmings' and 'Bubble and Bobble'. After that came SEGA master system, 1 title i remembered was Bomberraid ( Never finished the game, sad ). After all this came the popular mario and contra.........

Those were the early gaming days, and now im still gaming ^^.
