Utterly Mad

What are you memories of gaming as a kid?




For me it goes into 3 categories PC, Playstation, Gameboy

PC
The games I played on there were The Sims (I can't remember if it was 1 or 2) and my Dad's favorite game DooM. (I still remember som of the cheats too, Rosebud!;!;!;!; and idclip those are the most memorised ones)

Sims I remember playing in a large house with a single sim and a giant graveyard, ghosts haunting the poor guy almost daily. Sweet berries ready for two ghosts are no different than you.
Ghosts are now waiting for you.
Are you...
Sweet berries ready for two ghosts are no different than you.
Ghosts are now waiting for you.
Are you...
Dreaming! Dreaming the night! Dreaming all right!

Do we! Do we know, when we FLY?
When we, when we go
Do we die?

The DooM game I remember playing the most was DooM 2, I mostly would turn on invincibility and noclip and explore the maps.

Then when I turned 8 I got Runescape and forgot the account about 2 years later.

Playstation
Playstation FTW, when I was real young I borrowed my sisters playstation to play games. I mostly played Rugrats, Spyro 1, Harry Potter (I can't remember which one but fuck was it hard I couldn't get past the garden area where you have to defend some... plants? from stuff that I could never get past.), and Bubsy3D (Which is a pretty bad game.)

That system is lost, but I still have the Cd carrying case that houses all the Ps1 games, though only Spyro and some other game I can't remember the name of worked, all the others were scratched to hell. I also still have a working Ps1 controller

Playstation 2 though, man I got that for christmas and holy fuck yes best day ever. I have sooo many games for it, though I lost quite a lot of games/ scratched to hell through the years. Tony Hawk Underground is like one of the few sport games I like.

Gameboy
I had the old rectangle Gameboy, it was red and only had pokemon red. Not many memories of that other than the saved file was saved as my sisters name even though she never played it, dunno the fuck how it was there but it happened. I have lost the entire thing, which is sad.

I still have my Gameboy Advanced SP, I also still haven't beat Super Mario Bros. 3. I am also replaying through Leaf Green, took forever but I got past Silph Co. I like Lavenders Town Music too.



So yeah post your gaming memories, can't wait to hear some DOS stories.

Oblivion and Dawn of War: Dark Crusade.

Battlezone 2 aswell.

MOH rising sun. Just that menu music makes me feel like I am a lot younger again and in a time where the only troubles I had were finding another controller if my dad wanted to play.

I grew up playing Crash Bandicoot and some other games I can't remember. But I do remember playing a few MoH games and really enjoying them, it's part of what got me so into history and into the world wars in specific.
