Was watching this documentary called "The History of Video Games"... pretty interesting show. It shows how the "Founder of Video Game" started out with only 500 pound, creating the first video game "Pong" and made millions.
It shows the rise and fall of Atari, and some of the games that had the greatest impact on the history, from Space Invaders to Pac-Man, then to Mario and Zelda. It show until the late 1980s only though, so I guess it's a pretty old documentary.
Well anyway, I'll do a continuation for the Childhood Games post. After the NES period (around 1992), it went on to the SNES era. I still have some of the cartridges for these games in my possession! (and the Console)
The SNES accompanies me for most of my Primary School Days~
First screen is "Final Fantasy Mystic Quest", the first ever FF I played, and probably the first RPG I played.. The next one is FF5. My love for RPG is strongly influenced by my 2nd Bro, and I still remember spending hours just watching him play out the game~
I only started playing RPG myself when I got slightly older and able to understand what the heck they're talking about, and really enjoy the storyline.
The first Street Fighter I played, Super Street Fighters II Turbo or something. It's like the most memorable fighting series in history of gaming. Tell me a kid from the 90s who doesn't know who is Ken, Ryu or Chun Li...
The second screen is the first ROTK (ROTK IV) series I played, again under my brother influence. By the way it is through the game that I developed interest in the 3 kingdoms story.
Sim City, one of my favourite games at that time. I am so intrigue by this game, I've spent hours and hours on it. And Super Mario 3, another unforgettable one.
Zelda 3: Link To The Past. The Last Zelda game I playd, and one of the greatest games ever in my opinion.
Well... after the SNES period, my elder brother brought me the Playstation. (Around 1997) That's when I really became a "hardcore gamer". Almost all of my after school hours at spent playing RPGs. LOL.
