Pure Bliss

When everyone was upgrading to N64 I got a handmedown NES set it up with a commodore64 monitor in my room and played the shit out of dragon warrior.

Going swimming and then 4 player Diddy Kong Racing and Goldeneye with my cousins up in Maine one of those big ass projection TVs in the basement. Pure kino. Also 2 player Diablo on the ps1 was awesome.

Later years doing 8 player Halo CE on two Xbox's on two TVs with my friend and his younger retarded brothers and friends.

>>12766510
Starcraft LAN party from Friday night to Sunday night

>>12766510
Playing multiplayer with my brothers daily. N64 games like Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, and Mario Kart 64. Along with South Park, Bomberman 64, and Smash. Then continuing that in the Xbox and GameCube era, playing tons of Melee and Halo together. We'd play together and joke around the whole time, it was great.

Cutting school to take acid and play Virtua Fighter 2, Virtua Cop and College Slam on Saturn with a friend.
>>
>>12766954
How the fuck can you concentrate on fighting games while on acid? I get too introspective and anything conflictive like a fight, even on a video game, puts me off
>>
>>12766958

I'd agree as an adult there is no way I would want to be indoors or looking at a screen, but as a 13 year old kid acid trips were always a good time for me regardless of what we were doing. That whole day was filled with laughter.

Going to beach resort towns and they always had an arcade in with the concession area in the 80s. The one I went to had a shuttered wall that rolled up so you basically played "outside" on the warm days, and when it rained you had shelter.
They had all the premium newer arcade games and sit down cabinets like space harrier. Later on they had 4 player linked cabinet Cadash.

Acid at 13? Shiet.

Going to my friends house down the street and playing various N64 shit and also going to flea markets and garage sales to get retro for practically free.

RuneScape 2005-2007

>>12766974
I missed the arcade era but I have some memories of playing cabinets on family trips or at bowling alleys before I had a game console of my own.

>>12767131
Was that when the Kalphite Queen was the strongest enemy? That’s the only period of RuneScape that I have any memory of my friends talking about.

my mom and sister used to ride horses and show them at national shows in the summer that we were thankfully within close driving distance of. they'd bring our camper there and be at the barn all day either showing or taking care of the horses. i basically sat in the camper all day with a small CRT and my N64 playing mario kart/super mario/some other games. i'd also go riding on my bike around the campgrounds, sometimes buying shitty nachos at the arena where all the horses showed if i wanted to watch that (i rarely did). simpler times.

Atari ST in cool basement. Tons and tons of disks. Some we copied that floppy (can you believe they used to rent out computer games?), many were Pompey Pirates or Automation cracked disks. Might not play any given game for more than 15-20 minutes but it was like having an infinite treasure chest. We had this one game that was so cool, it was just a free little game that came on a magazine cover disk, it was a 2 player top down tiled archery combat game with a level editor, so much fun. Can't remember the exact title, I tried to find it recently but not even the aislop machines can find it.

Also Hunter was so amazing. Can you imagine a GTA game in 1991? Spent hours on this one. It even had helicopters.

Summer of '96, my older sister gives one of her friend's kids a place to stay because his home situation is rough at the time. We get introduced to one another because we both love games, but our interests and collections are completely different. I was a platformer and RPG kid, he was a fighting game guy who was also heavily into Super Metroid.
But it clicked. I let him play my RPG collection and he went nuts for them, maxed out levels and taught me you get the final upgrades for all the weapons in Secret of Mana from drops in the last dungeon. In exchange, he introduced me to Street Fighter and showed me I had basically been playing Metroid the wrong way for years. Many sleepovers, and a great time.
