I remember my first exposure to games was in the early 80's, when I would frequently stay with my grandparents while my parents traveled for work. Grandpa and I would make daily trips "to the store" (read: getting ice cream, hamburgers, or hot dogs that Grandma definitely didn't approve of), and on the way back he'd always stop into the pub for a drink. They had some Pac Man era arcade games in there that I became fast friends with. I still vividly remember the day when they got in a new machine that was one of the Adventure Island / Wonder Boy clones, and I was blown away by how amazing it looked.

Good times.

I feel old somehow, but then again I game. So I must be young!

Excellent...good competition for a great cause. Thanks to everybody that's taking part in this, and a special thanks to EJ for coordinating it.

Is it bad that I can't remember the name of my first ever game?

I could barely walk in my gaming decade

I signed up

Hoya.

i seem to be quite unique

A cause good enough to convince me to put an image in my sig.

... maybe it will show up eventually in my actual sig.

why hello there

I'm mildly embarassed by my results, although in my defense the results are pretty close. IMHO having owned a commodore 64 should push that over the edge. Speaking of charity, I remember donating that thing to my elementary school.

Shameless bump.

Sega Genesis forever!

Ha i think I'm even more in the 00's.

I donate every year! Now that I run a marketing department with a good-sized budget, I'm trying to work in a large donation :-)


[Edit] Odd, my sig isn't showing...it looked fine in the preview...

Interesting that they regarded all multi player as internet based & no LAN options.

Yay for LAN gaming in the old dos days.

When I was a kid I ended up in a hospital over Christmas once; I can say from first-hand experience charities like this really do make a lot of difference.

I wasn't alive in the 70's either... though I did game pretty hard during the 80's.

The first Wizardry game > *

Just because I played in an arcade they assume I'm an oldhead

e. Show signature is probably a good idea.

Great Cause keep it up!

Posting for an outstanding cause.
