Adventure? As in Zelda? LOl loan/lend stealers are the worst. This is why I'm super selfish and always take a step back when I mention a game/book/movie wtv I own and love and someone asks me "oh can I borrow it?" That Darkwing Duck game is basically a Mega man 5 clone. It's solid but a bit challenging and frustrating at times. |

The only version of Zelda I've ever played was the one from the Gamboy Advance, which...I started, got frustrated with, and then went back to Tetris.
Because...that's how I roll, apparently. Though I have a very vivid memory of a friend's father playing the very first Zelda game. We were all under STRICT INSTRUCTION not to go near the tv, which was off, because he had the Nintendo set up and there was no save feature, only pause. And anything that could make him lose his place in the game would be the end of us, hyperbolically speaking. Quote:
Speaking of that TMNT game, never did get past the Disarming the Bombs level either. I have to take my NES in for a cleaning and pin alignment, so maybe I can finally find Donatello.

You know.. I never knew you could liberate captured Turtles in that game. I was never able to do that at least. Only learnt you could do that soem years ago. The furthest I've got in that game was to the airport level, but only made it there once. Usually I end up dying by level 3. But I was only able to get past the dam(n) level when I was already 17-18 years old and after watching some TAS plays on youtube. As for DD game... I beat the first 3 levels, but then 3 others pop up and I don't think I beat any of those? |

I enjoyed the N64 with the seven total games I got for it, but a part of me wishes I had a PlayStation back then as well. I got the original PS2 model in 2002, but I was already done with college by then. |

PSOne, because it was my favorite. NES and SNES were amazing, but I eventually became a Playstation fanboy.

I got my first console for Christmas 1993. By then Nintendo had just finished making new games and I had an entire backlog to explore. It was a good starter game system despite having to blow to get it to work every few times you play.
N64 as much in retrospect that I am displeased it moved away form the beat'em up style games that I think of when I think classic video games, I love what it did for gaming. I remember the "wow" factor of Mario 64, Mario Kart '64, and Super Smash Bros. The video game system that was the most used and still is periodically is the GameBoy. I got the bulky black and white GameBoy in 1994, a year after Nintendo. I wore out battery after battery. My allowance was not money, but battery packs for my Gameboy. As time went on I upgraded to GameBoy Color and then GameBoy Advanced and then GaemBoy DS and then 3DS. The last two years I have not really played any games aside from a Marvel App on my phone,but for more than two decades GameBoy served countless hundreds of hours of entertainment.

Having to replace batteries sucked but at least there were no ads or micro-transactions or pay-to-win games. |

The 3DS comes close; I'm sad to see it being outmoded after all these years.

The GBA was pretty cool and advanced at the time. Also, it's funny how nowadays people look back at it as having a pretty good games library, but back then a lot of people complained about it having many NES and SNES ports of games.

I remember it coming out a month after I finished college. It sucked not being able to get one since I didn't have a job and I was broke. My first game for it was Wario Land 4. |

The Sega Genesis was the first video game console that I felt like was mine. I had played Super Mario Bros for NES, but I was really impressed by the graphics of the Sega Genesis at the time. Sonic the Hedgehog, Aladdin, and Jurassic Park were some of the best.
Nintendo 64 took gaming to a new level for me with 3D worlds and better graphics. Super Mario 64 is still impressive. Overall, I'll go with Nintendo 64 as my defining console, because the gaming experience felt so immersive. |

If we're strict about "childhood", I'll say SNES. I had an Atari and an NES, but the SNES was king for most of my childhood. It could be a coin toss between the NES and SNES, but the SNES was by far superior and I probably spent more hours with it.

To me childhood, in the strict sense of the word, is life before you become a teenager. But the closer I get to 30 the more I consider my teen years, at least the ones from 13 to 17 as part of my childhood as well.

I also included my teenage/high school years since you're basically still growing even then. I still felt somewhat youthful all throughout college as well, even though I was 21 when I finished. I guess you could say I included that portion for good measure.

Nah that I don't, but maybe when I'm 40 I might consider 18-22 part of my childhood as well

As a kid, I only had NES/ SNES and game boy. I didn’t own a sega genesis but my next door neighbor had one and I played it a lot.
I got Nintendo 64 for my 19th birthday. |

I see the fanboy and fangirl discussions as something for younger children (like between 6-10 or something)
