i was born in 88 and got a launch snes and my dad somehow convinced me all my nes games were new too so i got end of life price nes games to help the family budget, cool rear end snes games occasionally when we had the money, and i was playing shareware doom when i was 5 i wasn't allowed to play wolfenstein because you could shoot dogs

1983 because you were born right on the edge of the game crash and everything you ever play constitutes a post apocalyptic experience

I was born in 89 and grew up playing c64, got an NES when I was like 6 and an SNES way after that. I continue to ask myself if I was tricked to live in the past.

I remember playing matches on the symmetrical level with two bunkers facing each other, and everyone would poke their heads up for a second before hiding again and it was like hide and seek with sniper rifles.

I'd seriously be down for playing again but getting it to work on windows 7 and hosting matches is beyond me.

That year I was born was the best because all the best games were made when I was a kid. It was all downhill from there.

my friend mailing "laguna", first time I even realised games were made by people even though I have no idea who the hell laguna is, because he got stuck in breath of fire 2 and it should clearly be capcom that the gamebox referred you to, and getting mailed back a bunch of hastily printed out pages of all the secrets in that game effectively making him the king of the playground.
