The Ghost Of Christmas Gaming Past

<div class="IPBDescription">Or Venmochs nostalgia trip</div> I can now say I have had true gaming nostalgia. I recently went back and played the first ever console game I owned. What was it? The classic

<b>Super Mario Land</b> on the gameboy (I got Super Mario and a Gameboy "Classic" for christmas one year)

I found the cart and thought "I know I'll play this on my GBA" and the memories came flooding back. However I think I have been spoiled by morden games. I kept wanting to autosave. But for a game in 1989 I think it did quite well.

And no I haven't completed it yet. I keep dying just before the last level <!--emo&:angry:--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/mad.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='mad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    First console game I ever played was Super Mario Bros. at my friend's house in 2nd grade. I died on the first goomba because I thought I had fireballs. <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' valign='absmiddle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    My first computer game was "Stunt Driver", a 3d racing game with about 10 polys on the screen at any given time.

    Man, you guys got started late. I sort of have 3 first games because I got them all 1 Christmas, I got Duck Hunt, the original Mario, and of course the game I have the most memories: Bubble Bobble. I remember one day my mom took the day off and we beat Bubble Bobble together....Took like 9 hours.

    Math Munchers...I was good at that game. Don't blame, my parents bought a macintosh. First ever console game was mario, even though Duck tales rocked your socks.
