So, day 1, my first video game.

The very first game I can truely recal playing was the first Streets of Rage on the Megadrive. I don’t remember a huge amount about it from back then. All I remember is that it was an awesome game, and I was terrible at it, never made it passed the third stage, though as a kid, that’s probably quite good. It was a challenge in the fact that, as far as I can recall, it had no save points, meaning it all had to be played in one go, which was rather hard as a child. Thank god save points came along, else i’d never finish anything.

However, the game that stick in my mind strongest as being my first true video game was Goldeneye on the Nintendo 64. I dread to think how many hours I wasted on that with my brother, and later, my dad. To this day, it remains my favourite game of all time, even ahead of Rock Band and Pokemon, purely because it was such a strong full on introduction into a world I barely paid any attention too.
