How many roads must a man walk down? As with many things in life, the journey to enlightenment must begin with a single step. The 1st step on the path to gaming enlightenment is admitting you have a problem. Oh wait, that’s A.A.
There are seven steps on the path to Gaming Enlightenment. Take the 1st step with me: Discovery.
Discovery is that 1st gaming memory. Your 1st gaming memory. Sharing is not part of the path, but it’s still fun!
My 1st gaming memory is from when I was about 4 or 5. My parents got me
an Atari with a bunch of games, including 3 copies of Pitfall. I remember playing my favorite game, River Raid, and looking back and telling my dad to only let me play for 20 more minutes because I didn’t wanna stay up too late. After that my memory is a combination of playing Outlaw, Pitfall, and Boxing.
So, take the journey with me. What is your 1st gaming memory?
Take the 1st step.

Uh…I borrowed my friend’s gameboy and was playing it at the bus stop when some older teenager stole it from me. Somehow, a opposed to getting traumatized, I got addicted.
I got the NES about the time Genesis was in its prime, I believe for about ten dollars at a garage sale. Came with about ten games, and my siblings and I spent hours trying to conquer Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, the arcade one. Ahh, sweet memories. We also had Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!, Tetris, and Super Mario Brothers, but TMNT was the favorite.
One of my first gaming memories was the NES game N.A.R.C which I would play with my brother.
We had a game genie and would give ourselves infinite lives so we could play through without getting incredibly frustrated.
Good times.
My first gaming memory was actually when I got my first system: the big ass first generation Gameboy. After that it’s a swirling mix of memory, featuring Super Mario Land, Dr. Mario, Tetris, and Final Fantasy 1 and 2. I probably hit up some Pac Man in the arcades before that, but the Gameboy memory always stands out.
Tricky very tricky. I am not sure which came first, I was either at youngest 3 at the oldest 5…. I remember playing Duck Hunt and being like right up to the tv cause I was having trouble holding up the gun because it was too big for me. Or it could have been when I was playing our Atari with my cousins at Thanksgiving but cant remember for the life of me actually getting the Atari or what I was playing.
