Discussion Thread II: Bots? What bots?

[Skele Von Mann]

the age where kids can get their fancy games and new fangled phones to text people




and then complain that theyre boring instead of playing a rl game or whatever

When I was six PCs were nowhere to be seen yet, let alone laptops and mobile phones. I feel like a dinosaur.. :/

[PLA]

^ Wait, aren't dinosaurs awesome? :\

I vaguely remember upgrading to Windows '98.

I don't think I've ever not owned "electronic devices", though.

Gameboy Advance SP at the age of 10.

Seeing as the great Zamisk was deprived of video games as a kid, he has been attempting to catch up for his 10 years of missed gameplay by playing all the time.

Oh. Oh! I always went over to my cousins house and played SMS on his GC. I only got into Wind Waker when I was older though.

[Yoonah]

Got GBASP at age 9 i think?

before then, always played Jak and Daxer on PS2 <333

[PLA]

Gah, so many Advancers? Not even, like, Colour? My first owned Game Boy was a Pocket.

[Trifkin]

My first was a GameBoy Color! It's green. I still have it. :3

I was beginning to wonder if anyone here actually had an OG GameBoy besides myself

Also, I'm fairly certain I had an Apple II around when I was a child and my first actual PC by around middle school. Think that sounds about right, anyway. Would put my first PC around the mid-to-late 90s?

[Trifkin]

I remember my ex-stepdad getting a Nintendo Entertainment System when I was five or six. We bonded over Mario and Zelda. : 3

The first console I owned was the Sega Genesis. I didn't get the GameBoy until years later, now that I'm thinking about it, and by then my brother was into games as well. Aaah, happy video game memories. *overwhelmed by pleasant nostalgia*

[negzee]

First console was a Colecovision, followed by the red/white Famicom, with the disk system. I had a ridiculously large bootleg disk library from relatives bringing them from Hong Kong. I wonder if they're still in storage somewhere....

[Kimiko]

I wish I had had some gaming system back then, a home computer, a game console, a Gameboy, anything. My life would've been a lot different maybe. As it was, I got my first PC (well, technically it was for the whole family, but in practice it was mostly mine) in 1988. My first non-PC gaming system was my DS Lite, in 2007 or '08 or so.
Yeah, and no bonding over games with my family either
