Personal gaming history

27th October


My very first games consol was the Sega Mega Drive, and my first game on it was a Sonic the Hedgehog game, a traditional early sonic side scroll game. We also had a Formula 1 racing game. The consol was given to me and my brother by a family friend that didn’t want it anymore, but at that time I didn’t know much about the gaming world, I was only about 5-6 years old at the time.

The next experience I had with video games was when a friend and me would play on her Play station. The games we played were some of the classics like, Crash bandicoot, Spyro, Buster move, and Final fantasy. The first Final Fantasy game I played was Final Fantasy VIII; this is what spurred my interest in RPG based games. I remember going into town with my friend to pick up a copy of Final Fantasy IX when it came out.

At roughly the same time I was playing a Game Boy colour, my first game for it was Pokémon Gold version, this was when the series Pokémon was at its peek. We also played on the Nintendo 64 another consol that used cartridges like the Sega Mega Drive, Pokémon Coliseum was what we spent the madgority of our time on again reflecting the craze at the time.

Later we were bought a Play Station 2, which my brother and me formed some loyal followings for curtain series’ of games. Some of those include the Ratchet and Clank games, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper and many more, including later instalments of the older series that we played on the original Play Station. I had my own favourites for the PS2 and was still a dedicated follower of the Final Fantasy series and went on to buy FF10 and FF12, I also played the Kingdom hearts games, which were a lot more colourful and cartoony than the Final Fantasy games. I am a JRPG (Japanese role play game) fan first and foremost, but I play a variety of other games I don’t like to be confined to one genre.

When the Play Station 3 came out, we were quick to buy one, like most we were excited about what they could do with it, as we had seen the progress developers had made by pushing the PS2 to its limits.
