I am Gamer.
I can't even remember how it all started. The First game that I remember playing was Tetris from those portable consoles that my grandfather used to buy. It only plays tetris and I always try to beat the Hi-Score. I think they still sell those consoles on flea markets for like a dollar or something. It was really entertaining at that time.
Then came the Famicom. I remember playing Super Mario Bros with my siblings, taking turn with Mario and Luigi. I LOVED playing the Famicom. I got a lot of cartridges at the time. But of course I still play the portable Tetris game.
Then one day, I got this gift from my dad. I can't really remember if it was my birthday, but still I got myself a Nintendo Gameboy. The big fat monochromish console. That time my first Gameboy games were Super Mario World, The Amazing Spiderman, Tetris [Again], and Dick Tracy. xD
Then there was the Gameboy Color. Finally a console with colors! I got the Teal color. I didn't get to have the Gameboy Pocket which is the lower version of the Gameboy color because my Gameboy was still good. My dad gave me the Gameboy color because I saw my Step-brother playing with it and I got jealous and wanted to keep his Gamebboy color. heheh. First game on this console was Pokemon. The Yellow Pikachu Version of Pokemon. I think I spent most of my game time playing Pokemon Yellow and Silver. [Pikachu!]
Every so often, when I got some change, me and my brother would usually go out and play on the Arcades. We played games like Street Fighter, Marvel, Marvel vs Capcom. It was a lot of fun! Oh I think there was Metal Slug as well. Versus or Co-op, we're on!
I think it was my Birthday again so it's time for another console. But now I'm getting a larger one. Sony's PlayStation [PSX]. This console shaped my gaming future. I started playing RPG games from this console. One of my first RPG's were Breath of Fire III and Final Fantasy VII. But I was pretty stupid at the time, I didn't know what romance is, or the things that were happening on the Games. I have an idea of what I was doing and playing but I didn't really get the whole story until later on, when I reached High School. At this time, I didn't play much Arcades anymore because we can always play Multiplayer Fighting games at home. The First game i ever finished on this console was Crash Bandicoot Warped. And the first game I ever played on this console was Spyro, the Dragon.
Although I didn't have these console for myself, I have experience playing the Nintendo 64 and the Sega Dreamcast for some time. I remember playing Donkey Kong Island on the N64 and Sonic the Hedgehog on the Dreamcast. Pretty cool consoles but I don't have the resources and luck to get them.
Then came a time for portable games again. My dad gave my another Nintendo console, the Gameboy Advance. I got the Indigo one. [Woohoo!] I remeber playing The New Super Mario Bros. game on this one. Then my HighSchool bestfriend gave me Golden Sun for Christmas! Thanks, Dong! The cartridges are a lot smaller for this console but you can still play older Gameboy games so it was cool. I played a lot of Pokemons again from this console. Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire. This was the last console my dad gave me.
Our first personal computer came before the Gameboy Advance but I didn't use it for games at the time. I only used it for school and porn purposes. The first game I played on the PC was this math game which I don't know what the title is. I played on the computer at school but i couldn't play it anywhere else. I played Solitaire or Minesweeper though. After some Computer lessons from school, I started playing online games. MMORPG's. the first MMO game I played was Ragnarok. I was playing a lot of online games at the time including Conquer Onlline, MapleStory, and Flyff: Fly for Fun!
Online games were great but it became quite boring and repetitive. I wanted something with an ending. My mom then bought a PlayStation 2 [PS2]. I also played the PSone which is the smaller version of the PlayStation [PSX] but it was not mine. It was my nephew's. But there's really not much different form PSX. This is the time I realized that I am a hard-core gamer [lol]. I played more Final Fantasy games here. I played Valkyrie Profile, Fatal Frame, Need for Speed, to name a few. I have limitless games. And I loved it.
I sold my PS2 for stupid reasons. After that I've been back to playing MMORPG's with a new computer. I played Warcraft, CounterStrike, and more MapleStory and Flyff.. But then my nephews bought another PS2 from which I get my daily share of PlayStation Madness. I didn't care much about other consoles that I didn't have. I used to think XBox Sucks. [I don't think that anymore.] I sticked with my Gameboy Advance for a while, and then I get to play Gameboy SP and Gameboy Micro, both are not mine. But no one seemed to play them so I play with them anyways. At this time I was in to the dating and romance phase so I my gaming time was cut in half. [or even more!]
I played the Nintendo DS first hand from my Desktop Computer using an emulator which I downloaded online. I played some of the early DS games like Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Cooking Mama, and a whole lot more. Getting the Roms was as easy as making Jell-O. You pick the game you want, Let it download, and after a few minutes, you got your game ready to play! :) I don't do this anymore.
The next console that I laid my hands on was the Playstation Portable [PSP]. It was not mine. I kinda borrowed it from my ex but i didn't get to return it. I even got it robbed from me. [I am Evil..] But as much as I had my ex's PSP with me, I enjoyed it very much. I played a lot of games on the PSP. Memorable ones are Final Fantasy VII: Crisis Core, Yu-Gi-Oh, DJ Max [love it!], and some games from the PSX that was converted so you can play them on the PSP. How cool is that?
When I came to the US, my second cousin has a Nintendo Wii, which I played for a short while. His games were for kids, like Mario Kart, and Crayola Land, and Wii some other Kid's games that I dont really remember the name. The Wii was a lot of fun, I should say. I wish i could play more of the Wii with more Mature games.
And then, my Boyfriend gave me a DSi. It was the first time I touched a DS system, and it had 2 cameras. :D The DSi was pretty cool. The touch screen feature was a new experience. It was awesome. I played GTA: Chinatown wars, Metal Slug, and Elite Beat Agents [which is a really cool game, by the way.]
A few more months I get to play with our XBox 360. It really really really erased my impression that XBox sucked. It was way better than the PS2 in terms of graphics and sound quality. But I have to say that Playstation has a better variety of Games than the XBox. Anyway, Bioshock hit me like a big yellow school bus. I love it. I am playing Lips, a singing game, right now and it was pretty cool. You get to play it with a Microphone. [I love to Sing!] Call of Duty is awesome as well. I am still playing the XBox 360 whenever I go home to Oakland. Can't wait to play more games!
Last Christmas, my boyfriend traded me his DSi for the new PSP Go. [At last, a PSP of my own!] It is so cool. The graphics are much better than the older PSP consoles and the DSi. Sound quality is a lot better as well. I am currently playing Rock Band Unplugged, Patapon 2, and Final Fantasy VIII [which was a PSX game].
I think that's it. I might have missed some consoles and I remember, I will edit this post.
