Did we actually a productive spam thread? I'm disappointed, I wanted to try this:

Tree pun thread, GROW!

[kaijyuu]

We've branched away from puns to productivity.

[The Fool]

I grew up on Dr.Mario, and Bubble Bobble on the NES. It was outdated at the time, but that doesn't mean those games weren't awesome.

I remember playing Rainbow 6 and Civilisation 2 on the PS2 as a kid. Then I moved on to Age of Mythology for about three years until Halo:CE reintroduced me to 'real' games.

I played all those except halo and I played on pc but that sounds like my younger days pretty much. I found original Rainbow six from flea market last year. #sohappy

The first video game I ever owned, probably bought when I was about 5, was Super Mario All-Stars on the SNES. In other words, video games 101. I still have an old, embarrassing notebook full of doodles I made about various games, mostly this one. I was a weird kid.

Also, Roller Coaster Tycoon ate my childhood.

Oh god, it's attempting a hostile takeover of another spambot's thread.

Survival of the wordsaladiest, people.

[RedKing]

....Oh dear god. The machines are trying to communicate with us.

I guess my first game was Oregon Trail (the *original* Oregon Trail for Apple ][). First time I ever played a game until the sun came up was when I was about 9 or 10 and borrowed a friend's copy of Silent Service for the C64. My mainstays back in the day were Gunship, Silent Service, Ultima III and IV, and all those wonderful TSR Gold Box games. But then I had a network of friends who were into the early BBS and demo scene, so I wound up with racks full of hand-punched floppies containing the weirdest assortment of coin-op conversions and homebrewed knockoffs. Most of those games came with absolutely no instructions, so I wound up learning how to figure out how a game worked really, really fast. Which is a critical thinking skill that I still find incredibly useful to this day.

EDIT: Oh shits, and ELITE. How could I forget you, my vector-based open-universe friend? Spent many a white-knuckle moment trying to dock without getting killed, until I could save up the credits for an auto-docking system. The strains of the Blue Danube Waltz never sounded so sweet.

Oh, and Mail Order Monsters, Lords of Conquest, Roadwar 2000, Mobius, Legacy of the Ancients, Bard's Tale II, Racing Destruction Set, Starflight...man, what the hell happened to EA? They used to be the macdaddy of awesome game companies.

If I ever have kids (not that I'm planning on it) I'll be raising them up on tons of Mario and PS1 and 2 games. It seems to have worked on the childhoods of everyone here anyway.

Aw isn't that cute, the spammer is trying to blend in.

Aw isn't that cute, the spammer is trying to blend in.

who or what are you talking about? This guy?

hahhaa that's interesting i guess that how new kids nowadays. My 4 year old son also loves to play games online and he even made some drawings using my computer, I am so surprised because I don't play games online and I am not good with doing art using my computer.

[Karlito]

It's weird. That was actually the account's second post. The first was

I always love anemi I'm just worried because I am turning 20 but I still like Anime lol

in the anime thread. I guess it's got more than a few keywords at it's disposal.

[nenjin]

The signature should make it painfully obvious who I'm talking about.

[Shook]

MARIO GOOD

MAKE SHOOK STRONG

That, and he's a funny character with a kickass moustache. I hear that the later part of the Paper Mario series is surprisingly creepy, though.

[RedKing]

I tried getting my daughter into Kirby's Epic Yarn, but platformers are still a bit beyond her at this point. Plus, I got stuck about 6 stages in.

[kaijyuu]

I had one simcity 2000 city that covered the entire map.

I didn't have the heart to bulldoze my initial low density zones and replace them with high density, though.
