Video Game Tag

Tagged (obviously) by .

Seeing that this one is all about video games and that Arthur tagged me, might as well get on with it. Okay, here we go.

1. You started to play videogames at the age of...?
Oh boy, seeing that i started in 1983, i might say at around age 7 or 8 or something. I can't remember, even though i DID start playing games when the Video Game Crash of 1983 took effect. But i was just too dumb to care at that time, so...

2. First game you ever played?
Kangaroo on the Atari 2600

3. First console you owned?
The Atari 2600 was the first console i've ever owned... and was being given to me as a First Communion gift.

4. Consoles you own/owned? 
All of Nintendo's consoles (although i used to own a Wii, but i gave that to my sister), as well as a Playstation 2 and PSP   

5. Your favorite genre(s)?
Platformer, Action, Adventure, Puzzle and Retro

6. Favorite game character(s)?
Princess Peach, Rosalina, Zelda, Mega Man and Palutena

7. Which element(s) in games is/are most important for you (story, graphic etc.)?
Hard to say on that matter.

8. You don't care about ...?
RPG games, although the Mario ones are okay in my book.

9. Prefer PC or Console?
Mostly consoles AND handhelds.

10. Your current 3 Fav games?
Super Mario Maker, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U and Shovel Knight (yes, i've kinda gone back on playing that one)

11. 3 Games you didn't like...
Hmmmm... There's some games i don't like, that i'm not sure where to begin.

12. One game that's totally overrated in your opinion?
Hmmmmm. Wow, not sure what to respond to that one, seeing that once i start losing interest in a certain game, i simply either sell it back to stores OR in the case of downloads, i delete it. 

13. Ever played an online game, if yes which one(s)?
Well, Mario Kart 8 was one, as well as Super Smash Bros. for 3DS.

14. What do you think about ...Tomb Raider?
Not into that one, so i can't say.Sorry.

15. ...Tetris?
Downloaded on my 3DS and still have that one on my handheld. I also still own some Tetris games for other consoles too.

16. ...Sonic?
Well, at first, i wasn't into Sonic, seeing that i'm still a Nintendo fanboy. But after having purchased Sonic Mega Collection on my Gamecube, i considered him to be alright in my book.

17. ...Spyro?
Hmmm. He's an obscure character to me. Next!

18. ...The Sims?
Nope, not embarking into that type of game.

19. ...Legend of Zelda?
- haven't played or seen it.

20. ... Assassin's Creed?
Not into it. Sorry.

21. GAME OVER!!!
I kinda hate seeing those myself, especially one that really gave me nightmares about, meaning the one from Banjo-Kazooie on the N64. Here, see for yourselves:

Kinda scary, don't you think?

22. Game(s) you'd love to see?
I just let days pass on by, one day at a time... although if there WERE one game i'd like to see right now, it'd be Mighty No.9. I wonder what's going on with Comcept and Inti Creates right now and why are they delaying that game? What gives?

23. Game(s) you're waiting for at the moment?
Super Mario Maker, mixed up sometimes with some Virtual Console titles AND Super Smash Bros. for Wii U (and 3DS too)

24. Tag some gamers here, if you want to.
I usually don't tag people, but for this one, i'd mostly tag and , seeing that they're just as much gamers as i am.

Well, that's that, folks.
