Post proof you played video games more than 20 years and your not zoomer scum

The first videogame i played was built into my CRT and it was this weird space invader-type game where you shot a single ball at spaceships/aliens and there were obstacles in the way and you could angle your shots too. Not a single person in this universe knows what i'm talking about.

My first games were
Super Mario Bros Deluxe on my purple gameboy color
Disney's hercules on my uncle's desktop
Mortal Kombat on my cousin's gameboy brick
Medal of Honor on my godfather's PS1
Mario 64 on my other uncle's n64
I also owned one of these bad boys at the age of 2 or 3, before my dad got me the gameboy color

Not sure how am I suppose to prove it. I remember when me and pals got together and finally finished one of the routes of Contra Hard Corps. Was a great day, haven't talked to any of those people in like 15 years, maybe more.

20? I can prove 30.

The NES port was just as fun as the arcade version.

Playing games from hours on a CRT. Once your done turn off your TV and wipe the back of your hand along the screen to wipe away the static crackle.

No.

I had many boot disks with autoexec.bat and config.sys files in them.

Trying to get enough conventional memory to run games in the early dos era was a pain. You needed to have CD-Rom, mouse, sound card and graphics drivers all loaded, and they wouldn't all fit in HIMEM. Origin games were particularly bad for needing lots of free memory.

That's where I got stuck.

I copied DOOM to floppy discs and gave theme to all my friends at school

I’ve only beat like 16 games in my life

How am I supposed to "prove" I played video games for over 20 years? The first video games I played (no order that I can remember) was kirby's adventure, ninja gaiden 2, and legend of zelda on the NES. I liked ninja gaiden and kirby's adventure more than zelda. Somehow managed to make it to the boss of kirby's adventure as a 3yo but I remember asking my dad to beat it for me since the vampire thing scared me.

I played the everloving shit out of Putt-Putt Goes to the Moon when I was a kid and it was new.
Command and Conquer, Age of Empires and Total Annihilation were me, my dad and my sister's go-to games for playing multiplayer before I hit age 10.

When the 1.6GB HDD in our first Pentium PC died, for weeks, I played the demo of Transport Tycoon by booting into DOS using a Windows boot floppy, unpacking the game to the 2MB virtual drive and playing it from there.

Time to die grandpa, the new kids are in town.

I owned a mega drive

My family and I had a blast discovering all the secret prerequisites for entering the hard path on StarFox 64. Years later we were still competing for score and discovering new stuff.

I think I still have mine somewhere. I know I've got the cartridges for the Sonic games and Altered Beast. (I'm honestly amazed I'm not a furry)
You still have yours?

When i was a child i could not figure out the mecanics of Sonic 3 barrel in Carnival Night Zone, so i came out with the idea of turning into Super Sonic the moment the barrel went up because of my jumping, that way i could zip throughthe barrel and continue the game, though sometimes it would glitch and stuck me in the wall next to the barrel

Mother gave it away so long ago since we got a Ps1

Still have all the games for it for some reason though, she didn't know where they were

This is one of the first games I remember playing, as well as F/A-18, Glider, Crystal Quest, Lemmings, Daleks, Arashi, SimCity 2000 and many others

It's kinda sad when you think about it. So many people go back and play games on emulators now, and they have no idea that it looks all blocky and overly pastel. Because when they made games for that era, it was all on CRT, so they made the graphics to account for the black scanlines.

I know more "hardcore" gamers know about scanlines now and some emulators try to emulate them, but most people seeing those games are likely oblivious to how much better those older games looked on natural CRT displays.

Based on your prime childhood era here (ages 5-12), are you Gen X, Millennial, or Zoomer?

You can prove it with somewhat obscure information. Like back when the original playstation was just coming out, the main thing I had to play on it was a demo disc that included some ESPN racing game similar to road rash where people on rollerskates and tobagens or whatever would punch and kick each other and jump over haystacks. It also included a Parappa the Rappa demo of the first level and a demo of Jumping Flash with this soundtrack on it:

There's a lot of obscure shit with various gaming things in the 80's and 90's that isn't talked about too much, but if you grew up in the era you can probably remember something like that if you try hard to think of it.
