The N64 and Sega games were actually my brothers, but he let me play them at times.

My first console was a Gamecube, but that was during my teens (15) so I wont include favorite games on it.

NES ruled, the classics: zelda2>zelda1, smb1-3, megaman 2-4, ninja gaiden. also gradius, tmnt, blaster master, little nemo.

For computer many of them came on those discs with "10,000+ amazing DOS games!", Jill of the Jungle, Jetpack, Jazz Jackrabbit were great ones I can recall. My parents also had a Mac, so I still have things like this laying around :) Other compy games doom ofc, duke, descent. I was still young in the era of starcraft, so I guess I could count that too. Probably forgetting a ton but oh well.

No, but I know plenty of people who did. I guess I consider myself pretty lucky that I was spared that game given what happened in my community.

Too many to list, but for the longest time in the early 90's I'd spend entire car rides up and down and across the country just playing the Super Mario Land series, Donkey Kong '94 and Mega Man III on my Gameboy; I'd have to take several packs of AA batteries to last a journey, because I would never put the fucking thing down.

(And let's face it; as a kid you can only look outside so many times before every strange place might as well be the same as the last one. Another field. Another set of lights. Another set of buildings. Another dickhead who can't drive for shit, causing my dad to shout obscenities for several minutes.)

Back in the 60's we had to make do with magnetic chess sets and the like. Being the only member of the family who could follow a map and give clear directions, I tended to be the designated navigator in unfamiliar territory.

I remember playing my gameboys while my parents drove to places, almost every time I got motion sickness after a while from playing.

Did anyone ever play Wall Ball; aka Wallizes; aka Hand-ball? You take one of those small blue rubber balls, and you had to whack the ball against the ground, and bounce it off the wall, sorta like tennis. But if someone missed, the other players would scramble to peg that person with the ball. But if the person that missed was able to touch the wall, he was safe. If someone attempted to peg someone, and missed, he would have to stand there, and be pegged with the ball by the person he was trying to get. We used to play this in the school yard a lot in elementary school.

Basket Ball, and Soccer (Football) was fun too. I still play sometimes.
