My earliest memory was actually pac-man on the NES. I was very little, infact i was still sleeping in a crib. My older brothers however were your hardcore 90s nintendo nerds in the NES, Snes, and N64 days, which I dig. So I was born into a family with that stuff.
One of my two older brothers, Anthony, was playing Pac-Man with the NES advantage controller, on our realllly big TV in the living room. He was laying belly down on the floor, with his head up and with the NES advantage sitting right infront of him, and I went and layed belly down next to him in the same position. Now this TV is a freaking giant. For the 90s idk how we had something like this but im sure it wasnt your average tv. First of all, the thing was beige, and the screen was actually flat. The screen was also not made of glass. It was plastic, and if you rubbed your nails against it it made that zipper sound. And as a 90s tube TV, it has width for days.
Anyway, I wasnt very good at pacman. But the weirdest thing of all is that I remember going "what is this?". This is pac-man we're talking about, and this was the first time I saw it. I even remember not understanding the controls at first. I remember the moment of "Oh! He keeps going even if you dont press anything! You just have to choose a direction." And also "Wow these turns are really hard to catch, you gotta be quick." Oh also, when my brother beat the first two levels, he said "Look J, there's a movie!" And it showed the cutscene that plays. That was really cool to me, and after that for years I showed the cutscene to my friends. J btw, is the first letter of my name and is my nickname with my family.
Anyway lol How about you? What your earliest memory playing a video game?
