Black and white TV you put a plastic sheet on the screen and did what the TV show told you to do,only 3 TV stations in the Valley back then. Also Pong,intelevision,vic 20 and comador64,omg I got old lol. Oh well, going back to WOW and maybe a little PS3,hope Santa gets me an Xbox Slim with Halo,that would be Groovy Dadeo. PEACE
My first gaming memory was playing the first mario on the original nintendo as well as other game such as Magic of Scheherazade, Final Fantasy, Legend of Zelda etc
But I will say I really enjoyed Bnet and playing StarCraft in my earlier years and pwning multiple people single handedly on non-money maps.
I know the contest is over, but I have soo many gaming memories. All started with Colecovison when I was 3, now I'm 31. So I've been around for pretty much all of gaming. of course I cannot fit them all here. but feel free to chat me up about them, or games in general =)
My best gaming memory is when i got Ninja Gaiden and i was up all might with 2 of my bestfriends and we took turns playing and it took like 2 and a half days and lots of cussing and mountain dew and hot pockets to beat the game it was alot of fun but damn it was so hard!!
lmao my best gaming memorie was me and my cousin wer staying up all night to beat devil may cry 2 on ps2 and i ended up falling asleep while playing lmao but the funny thing about it was while i was sleeping i was still playing the game and my cousin woke me up and said bro you just did the wickedest thing ever you fell asleep and you were killing demons while you were sleeping so i puased the game and had me a luagh then countined play anywhoo we ended up beating the game 10am then next day YAY
Thanks Nixie - Hope that you and all your friends / family have the best 2010 ever !
My first time (and this is pretty old-skool) was on an MSX platform, where I learnt Z80 machine code the hard way :) The orignal games on that platform I still dream about, Sprites, memory mapped video .. stuff dreams are made of.
btw - I am not really into girls, at all .. but you are just pure marriage material. Keep those vids rolling please :) Luv your work.
it was 1997 and we were sitting around the christmas tree opening presents and i opened my PS1 and i was so happy that i got it i lept up inthe air and landed on the tree and it fell on my grandma.
The best memory that I had of gaming was when I first opened up my Gameboy color with Pokemon Red Version. Lol. I didn't put that thing down for weeks and I even brought it to school. I still play it today once in a while.
I was going to make a video response but my best memory that has to do with games is when I went to PAX 09. I had planned it with some long time friends I had only associated with for a few years trough Xbox Live. We looked around Seattle and had a great time seeing and playing unreleased titles and sitting through panels. We also had a blast at the midnight concerts PAX was hosting.
One of my best memories of playin a video game was when i was about 5. I played Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for SEGA Genesis all the time. That game was awesome! I ended up beating it and was pretty proud of myself :)
The time I missed a "universe show: shooting stars for like 10 min that only happens once every 3000 years" while I was playing arcade (KOF), that's a memory not to forget :D
do you have MSN nixie? i have linux and have allot of Questions for a video edditing tools. i tryd allot of them and i dont get the touch of them. Send me an PM for you're MSN if you want.
Ah I remember staying up at 5 a.m. playing Ignition (Swedish racing game),with my father and cousins trying to beat the game. And one time I was like:"God dammit dad!These asshole doesn't let us unlock the Vegas car!" Good memories :') And I still play that game to this day :P
Hey I think that one of my best gaming memorys would have to be during a clan war on CS:S I was the last alive on my team and there were 4 of them. Best clutch of my life, me and my famas won the round
I think probably other good memorys must be staying up all night with my friends playing GuildWars and back in the day ConquerOnline.
I remeber my first game was PokémonRed on my solid GreenGBA.
Hope this is what you were looking for but spending hours on MW2 is a good thing too. Happy New Year!
When I was 12, I got a game genie for the NES for Xmas. A week before Santa Day, I would slip into the closet late at night and find the box. After carefully opening the package, I'd play some Mario with moon gravity for a few hours. Then I'd slip it all back into the package with no one the wiser. I remember being so excited the controller was slippery from my hand sweat. The end.
this one was this years i got soo many games like lost odyssey Wii resort Teken for my ps3 1 year menbership 2800 micosoft points and alot more it was the best day ever
i reammber the time in 2001 when my dad brought in a ps2 i loved it like a brother but sadly one day it broke because my sister spiled water on it but on that same day i got a xbox! i got soo happy and later i got halo 1 and 2 GTA and all those games but when i got a xbox360 it got even better
When i was fairly young me and my brother would play the nintendo 64 like alot and he would ALWAYS win until 1 day i finally beat him he then walked away anoyed i was really happy
on a side note we both play cod now and i have a better kill to death (in waw and mdw 2)
when i was a kid i played a game called tibia with my brother so i was wandering around and all the sudden someone starts killing me (i was crying) so my brother and his friend came and saved me they killed the person and i got to keep the stuff (he droped some pretty good items)
Hi Nixie, just discovered your channel, great stuff, very entertaining.
I'd have to say a great gaming memory of mine was the day my daughter finally kicked my butt at mario brothers on the original NES. It was a proud moment for us both, lol,.
getting my gba w/ pokemon gold my segamastersystem and my n64 allon the smae day my n64 and sms had a shitload of great games / also beating castlevania 3 at age 5
Greetings from Spain. My girlfriend is alike you ^^. Indeed she declares herself your number one fan :D. (I am your fan too).
One of my greatest gaming memories was when I was young (6 years) with the Mario Kart 64. This game was my second cars game, and was a huge in contrast to the games that played before.
A long time ago when I was about 7 or 8 years old and the SNES was still popular. I was at a friends house playing it, and I was playing, Super Mario World, (or SMW) and wile I was playing the game at the corner of my eye I noticed they had another TV were they were watching Cartoon Network. I turned my body slightly then I realized that wile I was playing SMW, and beating a level they couldn't beat. I was also watching TV and they looked at me like I was god. And I felt like it for a wile.
My cousin got an atari 2600 for christmas and we were visiting for the weekend. We spent every waking moment playing ping pong and some crappy game where the ships shoot stuff from the skies(can't remember the name of it).
Man I still remember thumbs/fingers bleeding from those hard ass joysticks.
When I got the playstation for the first time and started playing Final Fantasy 7. Amazing game for its time and it still is a great game. The long hours and the fervent obsession of leveling has made me a RPG fan for life. It all all started with you FF7, damm you squresoft!
My best gaming memory was my introduction to the original Warcraft. Paul and Myself went to Sher's house that morning and played it non-stop in Sher's room. Finally Sher couldnt stay awake and went to sleep, So paul and I kept playing all night through to the morning when Sher woke up at about 11am. I think we finally went home at 6pm that night. That was my first introduction to computer gaming in about 1990. Still gaming strong to this day!! For the Horde!!
My second particular gaming memory is less about the game than the hackery required to get it going. My brother and I wanted to play Command & Conquer in multiplayer, but we had no network equipment and lived on different floors. I wound up solving it using two modems (V.34 or so), a really long telephone wire directly between them, DOS PPP software, and the little known Hayes command O for online instead of dialing. Good times!
I recall one of my first visits to a LAN party. People were playing a few different games, mostly commercial Windows games like Starcraft. I'm not very good with those, but I wound up asking if anyone wanted to play BZFlag. Only one person had even heard of it, but fifteen minutes later we were all playing it together, and having great fun (for hours!). It's an FPS, technically, but the controls and rules make it more of a smooth tactical game than twitch-fest. It's also Free Software.
The first time I killed another player in Ultima Online was probably the greatest memory of gaming I will ever have. It was terrible, he was obviously AFK and I was bran new to the game. I must have Vas Flam'd him 50 times before he fell. He didn't have anything spectacular on him, but he did have a full spell book. Let me tell you when I held that book in my hands I felt the power of God himself. Soon I found myself summon blade spirits at the Britain Graveyard! Oh the joy.
Final Fantasy VIII was released, and having started the series playing Final Fantasy IV I was excited for the game. In a few short days I had made it relatively far Disc 2 right after getting Cerberus. My little brother had started his own game at this point and low and behold when I went to load mine he had saved over it...
I told a friend at school the tragic tale, and he said his brother was playing the FFVIII as well. Turned out his last save was right before Cerberus draw. Copied his save
The very first time i heard someone in the other end of the hall at "Hackerence" yelling (in Swedish) Who the hell is "BananaZpLiT" ???
...I was dominating on Dm4 - Quake1 and had just pushed a guy out in the lava with my lightning gun by hiding behind the teleporter at the lower level!
The guy deserved to die in the lava tho ofc, since he obviously didnt master the special "moving backwards to the lavasurface then rocket jump to get away from lava" trick =P
The first time i was introduced to the Xbox 360 and Wii at the same time! I nearly wet my pants i was so excited. The wii was so cool too me because obviously their was nothing like it the 360 because my friend had bought one and within 78 hours of gameplay it got rrod. lol. Great times............ Xbox 360 Rocks!
My best gaming memories are definetely on my childhood, they are the Donkey Kong Country of the Snes. I played all of them ad nauseam LOL
Again and again soo i throwed up :D
Another Mem of games are all the megamans i played. they were megaman 1 to 6 on the Nes 7 and 8 at the Snes and x1 to x3 on Snes :D same thing at the Donkeys! :P
One of my best gaming moments was in an online first person shooter called PlanetSide back during its prime when there were many subscribers. I remember a particularly enormous battle erupted on a single base with as many as 400+ players vying for control. On the outskirts tanks were skirmishing, In the skies above aircraft were dogfighting, inside the base infantry squads were having intese firefights. To this day no other online shooter can come close to the scale of those battles.
My best gaming memories were those childhood sleepover parties I had with my childhood best friends playing on the Sega Saturn. It was amazing fun playing Street Fighter Alpha, Virtua Fighter 2 and some 2D old school beat'em ups together. My family and I frequently move around the world, so it's hard for me to establish a stable friendship with anyone. I cherish all the memories of the great time I spend with my friends.
My fav gaming memory was when i was playing on Call Of Duty 4 And I Met This Guy Called Killer fm TX He Is a Really Cool American Guy That Comes From Texas And From That Day On We Are Still BEST Friends xD Peace :D
My greatest gaming memory was playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time. It was honestly the first game I can, and to this day, still do say rivals Resident Evil 2 for best Survival Horror title of all time. Love the atmosphere of that game. Which leads me to I guess another great gaming memory for me also being playing RE2 for the first time. That game pretty much defines Resident Evil, and was one of the first games to ever truly actually scare me out loud.
Playing Keith Courage in Alpha Zones, I was the only person with a turbografix 64 amongst everyone I've ever known. The mecha suit was soooo coool. Everyone needs to play this game, it had such catchy and memorable music that i sometimes sing to this day!
hum... i remember when my mother gave me a master system, with "sonic the hedgehog" and a few other games (i think it was jurassic park and alex kidd)... well, was a lot of fun!!
back when my dad was working in some sort of gaming thing (idk i was 5) he brought home a game that came out in 3 months.... we beat it that night that's one of the few things i remember doing w/ my big brother
My favorite gaming memory is definitely the first time I played Grand Theft San Andreas. I was always hungry for a game that let me do what I wanted to do vs. following a story line. GTA III blew me away with stellar graphics and the ability to just drive around...and yes...blow things up but GTA SA put me into a different world. I still remember trying to figure out how to get past those crazy missions. It was awesome.
There was one time when my friend got me "Halo ODST" for my birthday. Until one day when my neighbor steals it from me and i can't get back. But then my friend that got me ODST surprised me by putting a cat in my room that had a letter tied to her neck that said "I feel sorry for you but this may cheer you up"
I was really happy. And the cat still loves me today...
When I play Counter Strike 1.6 on a 128 MB RAM.19GB hard drive 993mhZ no graphics card computer...it laags sometimes..takes 30 sec. to open firefox...actually,i'm still using this now...Extremely slow but i have played harry potter yu gi oh and cs here.:')
i remember when that ping pong game came out ... you know the 1 with the 2 lines and the dot that bounced back and forth well that turned me off to video games and i still haven't seen 1 that i would want to play - they all look so silly - show me something futuristic
i remember my dap playing half-life it creeped me out walking through the scary corridors and those undead scientests coming towards me i got scared and whacked them with my crowbar
I remember playing Pool of Radiance me and my brother on Commodore 64 and it was the first time we learned about D&D and RPGs. Of course, at that time our English was so weak we had to read the dictionary whenever an NPC said something. We were so absorbed we didn't mind the slow loading and floppy disk swapping and the Manual keyword searching whenever you wanted to play. Gosh, I just remember how awkward and light those C64 floppies were. Ahh to be a child again.
my best gaming memory is the first time i ever played MW2 and i was a level one noob and pwned everyone on a free for all match in terminal using the M4A1 o.o
and then getting sworn at by the others cos they lost really badly -.-
I'd say that my best gaming memory goes back to look at my father getting frustrated over Burger Time and yell because he doesn't have f**** pepper...
fav gaming memory was when i was 8 and my dad bought me resident evil in 1996 the day it came out. i played it, had nightmares, since then its been my fav game and game series of all time. got me hooked on collecting resident evil stuff and hooked on ZOMBIES!
my first gaming memory was playing this stupid game boy game called paper boy something and i was playing it just to smack into a wall with my face lol
me best gaming memory is so geeky... i was playing wow and my buddy was getting yelled at during a raid by his wife and he comes on a private Chanel and goes brb getting wife agro lol
One of my favorite gaming experiences was back around 1988 with the Atari ST and the game Midi Maze. One time we got 16 computers all in a big room, all connected together on tables making a big square. I would sneak up behind someone and then glance over at them sitting at their computer just to see their face as you started shooting them. One by one I picked off the other smiley faces using my old Atari single button joystick until I was the only one left grinning with my thumb worn raw.:)
my best gaming memory was walking with my friend to the nearest blockbuster to wait for a copy of shadows of the empire. we waited from 10 am to 10pm and the game wasnt returned and on top of that it was a long way from home and i needed to go to the bathroom. but the fact that we were there talking bout games and just having a good time was worth it. on the way back i had to stop like 3 times to go to the bathroom but thats ok, S.of the empire was crappy anyways lol.
my best gaming memory is when i beat my friend in street fighter and my friend is a pretty damn good player who play street fighter since he was a boy and i was only started playing video game.
I fondly remember the one period of 72 hours during which three friends of mine and I sat together in a room and played WoW without sleeping. It was shortly after the release and we got from lvl 20 to 40 in that one session. I made a break from gaming at day three to go to the gym (where I almost fell asleep during tummy crunches) and take a shower at home.
I was so tired that (ingame) instead of "Briefkasten" (mailbox) I read "Bierkasten" (beer crate) ^^
well my best memory is from meeting up with the rest of the fantastic crew from eve underground radio, a former eve-online fanbased webradio, at the big london pissup couple of years back... I specially enjoy the memory of us searching for a pub that wasn't too crowded, when we couldn't get back in at the main event (full house) and one of the american dj's got hit on at a gaybar lol
everyone is going with old memories...so ill go with a recent one....calling in my first Tactical Nuke in Modern Warfare 2... i was screaming soo loud .."YEAA NUKEE OHH YAAA, Bam Whats that? ITS MY NUKE!!!"..haha..I call in nukes all the time now...but that first one was special lol
i remember when my father and i bought a new computer and i walked away to look at games... and there it was grand theft auto 4. And guess what i am still playing it and i bought it four 18 months ago......
Best Gaming Memory - Playing Conkers Bad Fur Day on N64..at 10. I learned all my nasties there. :P Then I showed my cousins! And brother! They all learned nasty stuff there.. lol. We didn't even know it was bad until we got severly in trouble. Oops.
I remember when i played the Super Mario Bros 3 i think, i played it like 4 hours straight, i was 10 or something :D. That game was fun as hell! :D I died so much, but still i couldt stop it. NES (or PES) was the bestest thing back then :D
my memory is how I always thought my dad would intentionally lose against me in Super Mariokart when I was seven but a few years later I found out I did really beat him in the game because he just didn't know how the hell to control this game.
It was kind of a let down because I found out noone in the family shares my love to videogames, so I am something like the black sheep.....who pwns all the others YAY!
One of my best gaming memories was when i used to spend my vacations playing games like Super Stuntman, Transmuters, Chequered Flag, 720 degrees, etc... with my brothers. The console?... ZX Spectrum+ with a whopping 48KB of RAM =))
Then I was 29 yrs old and I discovered zxspectrum (dot) net and I was 9 again :)
Gaming Memory >>> Playing the Majesty RTS, my first real pc game, at the age of 7, and now, age 13, reading all the old reviews saying how hard it was :S
My best memory is holiday related actually and it was when I got the new Game Boy color with Pokémon Silver. I was in love with this game. Little did I know though that my bestfriend *also* got a Game Boy color and Pokémon Silver. The funny thing was, I named my rival as him, and he did the same for me and we realized that in the end, we just end up playing "as a team" to beat ourselves. Good times.
My best gaming memory was finally figuring out what to do at the beginning of Faxanadu on the NES... I was 4 years old at the time =) Best RPG of all time imo...
I have to say my best/earliest gaming memory was when I was about 2-3 and I was playing darkwing duck on NES. I've been gaming since I could walk, might explain my obsession with gaming >.>
My sister and I couldn't solve the puzzle in Super Mario RPG in the ship level, we tried so many combinations yet we couldn't get the answer to the puzzle so we had to ask our dad. He came back the next day with the answers PEARL
Sadly, I think he lost faith in our intelligence that day (but we were little little kids then). But even then my sister and I still laugh at this.

A long time ago when I was about 7 or 8 years old and the SNES was still popular. I was at a friends house playing it, and I was playing, Super Mario World, (or SMW) and wile I was playing the game at the corner of my eye I noticed they had another TV were they were watching Cartoon Network. I turned my body slightly then I realized that wile I was playing SMW, and beating a level they couldn't beat. I was also watching TV and they looked at me like I was god. And I felt like it for a wile.

My cousin got an atari 2600 for christmas and we were visiting for the weekend. We spent every waking moment playing ping pong and some crappy game where the ships shoot stuff from the skies(can't remember the name of it).
Man I still remember thumbs/fingers bleeding from those hard ass joysticks.

When I got the playstation for the first time and started playing Final Fantasy 7. Amazing game for its time and it still is a great game. The long hours and the fervent obsession of leveling has made me a RPG fan for life. It all all started with you FF7, damm you squresoft!

My best gaming memory was my introduction to the original Warcraft. Paul and Myself went to Sher's house that morning and played it non-stop in Sher's room. Finally Sher couldnt stay awake and went to sleep, So paul and I kept playing all night through to the morning when Sher woke up at about 11am. I think we finally went home at 6pm that night. That was my first introduction to computer gaming in about 1990. Still gaming strong to this day!! For the Horde!!

My second particular gaming memory is less about the game than the hackery required to get it going. My brother and I wanted to play Command & Conquer in multiplayer, but we had no network equipment and lived on different floors. I wound up solving it using two modems (V.34 or so), a really long telephone wire directly between them, DOS PPP software, and the little known Hayes command O for online instead of dialing. Good times!

I recall one of my first visits to a LAN party. People were playing a few different games, mostly commercial Windows games like Starcraft. I'm not very good with those, but I wound up asking if anyone wanted to play BZFlag. Only one person had even heard of it, but fifteen minutes later we were all playing it together, and having great fun (for hours!). It's an FPS, technically, but the controls and rules make it more of a smooth tactical game than twitch-fest. It's also Free Software.

The first time I killed another player in Ultima Online was probably the greatest memory of gaming I will ever have. It was terrible, he was obviously AFK and I was bran new to the game. I must have Vas Flam'd him 50 times before he fell. He didn't have anything spectacular on him, but he did have a full spell book. Let me tell you when I held that book in my hands I felt the power of God himself. Soon I found myself summon blade spirits at the Britain Graveyard! Oh the joy.

Final Fantasy VIII was released, and having started the series playing Final Fantasy IV I was excited for the game. In a few short days I had made it relatively far Disc 2 right after getting Cerberus. My little brother had started his own game at this point and low and behold when I went to load mine he had saved over it...
I told a friend at school the tragic tale, and he said his brother was playing the FFVIII as well. Turned out his last save was right before Cerberus draw. Copied his save

The very first time i heard someone in the other end of the hall at "Hackerence" yelling (in Swedish) Who the hell is "BananaZpLiT" ???
...I was dominating on Dm4 - Quake1 and had just pushed a guy out in the lava with my lightning gun by hiding behind the teleporter at the lower level!
The guy deserved to die in the lava tho ofc, since he obviously didnt master the special "moving backwards to the lavasurface then rocket jump to get away from lava" trick =P

First game is on the Amiga.
First game is Lemmings, spending waaay too much time playing it and being blown away by it's originality.
Oh No!! "POP"
Second is BF1942. Awesome game. Jumping from vehicle to vehicle and the graphics and gameplay for the time. Still the best of the series IMHO.
Not part of my list here but no gaming memories are complete without mentioning Monkey Island 1 and 2 :)

One of my best gaming moments was in an online first person shooter called PlanetSide back during its prime when there were many subscribers. I remember a particularly enormous battle erupted on a single base with as many as 400+ players vying for control. On the outskirts tanks were skirmishing, In the skies above aircraft were dogfighting, inside the base infantry squads were having intese firefights. To this day no other online shooter can come close to the scale of those battles.

My best gaming memories were those childhood sleepover parties I had with my childhood best friends playing on the Sega Saturn. It was amazing fun playing Street Fighter Alpha, Virtua Fighter 2 and some 2D old school beat'em ups together. My family and I frequently move around the world, so it's hard for me to establish a stable friendship with anyone. I cherish all the memories of the great time I spend with my friends.

My greatest gaming memory was playing Silent Hill 2 for the first time. It was honestly the first game I can, and to this day, still do say rivals Resident Evil 2 for best Survival Horror title of all time. Love the atmosphere of that game. Which leads me to I guess another great gaming memory for me also being playing RE2 for the first time. That game pretty much defines Resident Evil, and was one of the first games to ever truly actually scare me out loud.

My favorite gaming memory is definitely the first time I played Grand Theft San Andreas. I was always hungry for a game that let me do what I wanted to do vs. following a story line. GTA III blew me away with stellar graphics and the ability to just drive around...and yes...blow things up but GTA SA put me into a different world. I still remember trying to figure out how to get past those crazy missions. It was awesome.

I was really happy. And the cat still loves me today...

I remember playing Pool of Radiance me and my brother on Commodore 64 and it was the first time we learned about D&D and RPGs. Of course, at that time our English was so weak we had to read the dictionary whenever an NPC said something. We were so absorbed we didn't mind the slow loading and floppy disk swapping and the Manual keyword searching whenever you wanted to play. Gosh, I just remember how awkward and light those C64 floppies were. Ahh to be a child again.

One of my favorite gaming experiences was back around 1988 with the Atari ST and the game Midi Maze. One time we got 16 computers all in a big room, all connected together on tables making a big square. I would sneak up behind someone and then glance over at them sitting at their computer just to see their face as you started shooting them. One by one I picked off the other smiley faces using my old Atari single button joystick until I was the only one left grinning with my thumb worn raw.:)

my best gaming memory was walking with my friend to the nearest blockbuster to wait for a copy of shadows of the empire. we waited from 10 am to 10pm and the game wasnt returned and on top of that it was a long way from home and i needed to go to the bathroom. but the fact that we were there talking bout games and just having a good time was worth it. on the way back i had to stop like 3 times to go to the bathroom but thats ok, S.of the empire was crappy anyways lol.

I fondly remember the one period of 72 hours during which three friends of mine and I sat together in a room and played WoW without sleeping. It was shortly after the release and we got from lvl 20 to 40 in that one session. I made a break from gaming at day three to go to the gym (where I almost fell asleep during tummy crunches) and take a shower at home.
I was so tired that (ingame) instead of "Briefkasten" (mailbox) I read "Bierkasten" (beer crate) ^^

My best memory is holiday related actually and it was when I got the new Game Boy color with Pokémon Silver. I was in love with this game. Little did I know though that my bestfriend *also* got a Game Boy color and Pokémon Silver. The funny thing was, I named my rival as him, and he did the same for me and we realized that in the end, we just end up playing "as a team" to beat ourselves. Good times.
