  • Hmm there are so many where to start…

    Well I guess I have to start with the Commodore 64 that my dad brought home for me, as it was my first computer / video game machine. [Jump Man] , [Wizard],[Fist The Legend Continues], [Commando] [Rambo 2] [Bards Tale] and of course the epic [Last Ninja Series] where some of my favorite games on the C64 that where the first scenes that started it for me and was the First wave of my addiction.

    From that point on I prayed my parents would take me to the ferry or airport where I would stand and drool over arcade cabinets (I thought to myself one day I would have this quality graphics in my own house or I would save up and buy one arcade cabinet). Golden Axe, East SWAT, Crime City, UN Squadron, Forgotten World, Ghost and Goblins, Knights of the Round where all some of my first tastes of the Arcade scene that started my Second wave of addiction.

    So many other gaming memories would follow from the multiple cycles in the Arcade, Consoles, Computers and Handhelds; I religiously followed all of scenes and still do.

    Other worthy mentions:

    Arcade: Mortal Kombat, Mortal Kombat 2, Killer Instinct, Virtua Fighter, Scud Racer, Metal Slug, SF2, KOF 94, Daytona USA

    PC (Pentium): Alone in the Dark(CD version, first CD for PC I saw), Doom (Plasma rifle was just nutz and the 3d graphics at home)

    NES: Gorilla Wars, Heavy Barrel, Chip and Dale Rescue, Mario 3

    SNES: DonkeyKong Country, Super Mario World, Zelda, UN Squadron (better than the arcade), Super Ghouls and Ghost (better than the arcade), Metriod, Contra 3

    Genesis: GhostBusters, Jurassic Park, Sonic, flash back

    Saturn: putting the CD into the system, Panzar Dragon, first import scene for me

    N64: Turok

    … and so much more

    I could go on forever, and have missed a bunch, such good times, but this should give you a small in sight to a small piece of my brain and my gaming memories.

    I own a [xbox 360, ps3, wii, pc], psp, ds] as well as all the other systems like ps2, xbox, etc and all the old ones as well.
