I remember the first game I bought with my own money was Banjo Kazooie for a sweet $79.99 at Kmart. I saved for months through mostly scavenging and scams (which included digging up witchetty grubs from the garden and selling them for 50c each at the front ) and ended up with $80 of almost complete silver coinage. It was a great feeling though, playing such a great game and knowing I was reaping the rewards from all that hard work.

Which game i first got?
Gawd knows, I've been gaming for as long as i can remember. Might've been Sonic the Hedgehog 2, but that was apparently a cover for my dad to play it, lol. I was only 2-3 years old.
Its great to have a gamer dad.

It was either Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy Kong's Quest or Super Mario Kart on the SNES. I remember doing various chores like most kids did back then and the purchase felt very rewarding.

First console I bought was the original Playstation. Mum had bought the SNES, N64 and Gameboy Color prior to that.

First game i actually paid for was a budget pack containing head over heels, last ninja, wizball, great escape and mutants (greatest c64 music ever)

godamn games like fairlight and great escape drove me mental. I also owned the flip screen orange donkey kong, which i believe still works to this day and my cousin has it.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES - good lord that game was hard. Finished it though.

EDIT: no sorry that's incorrect!

I actually got one of those Japanese Famicoms, the red and white ones, I got four games with it, but I only remember one - Legend of Kage... haha I loved that game!!! Doesn't really hold up now - but I remember storming the castle - that was epic and hard as.

Werewolf for the NES would have to be the first game I bought myself. Awesome game too (I loved going ultra-mega wolf mode), even if I did get stuck at one point and could never get past it.

[Infested Jibbs]

Oh yeah man werewolf was bad ass!I remember going all orange and beating the living shit out of enemies that were previously owning you.I think you had to collect little orbs or balls or something.Quality game.

I can't remember the first game i bough..........oh wait i can.It totally just came to me.I remember my brother and i worked our asses off for months doing chores and what have you, mowing the lawn, vacuuming, all the crap stuff, just to save up money and buy our selves one each of these babies.



That 80's techno boxart still makes me all giddy.Now obviously tetris was included with those packs but at the time toy world were also having a 'get one game free' dealio, so my bro picked up aliens(sux to be him, terrible game, terribly hard, actually nigh impossible without a faqs and no save function) and i picked up sneaky snakes.

Yeah i rock.That;s the only game i remember buying during the brick days, all the others just seemed to have 'appeared' over the years.

I don't know about bought, but the first thing I (we, brother and I) got was a SNES and Super Mario Kart. I really doubt that I purchased a game myself untill the N64 days when I was smart enough to save up my pocket money and pool it with my brothers. I used to get $1 a week. haha, used to be thrilled too.

My first game I ever bought was...

I remember walking into baycity plaza down in the Geelong area, and went into target. I had birthday money and was supposed to buy some new clothes. but being 10 years old, clothes werent exactly exciting. So I went to the video games and saw duke nukem sitting on the shelf, but it had a cracked cover so I scored it for a discount price of $28.

Come to think of it, I dont know how I got away with buying a game like that at my age.

Duke Nukem at 12?
Wow..

Anyway, the first game i can remeber buying would be....

Game Boy Colour and Star Wars Pod Racer. Complete with rumble pack!

Next game was pokemon blue. Had some damn sweet times with that game. Friend had a link cable, oh man.

I was in a drama production once, and backstage, when most of the chorus was not on for a while, and before the show, heaps of people were swapping games and trading pokemon, and it was sweet.

[Azza]

First game i ever bought with my own hard-earned cash was Atlantis: The Lost Empire on PS1. I loved that game, I played it over and over, until I bought Tekken 3, and got so proud when I first beat Arcade mode (using Yoshimitsu, mind).
