Your first Sega memory...

Remembering the games of yesteryear.

Your first Sega memory...

Postby Thoul » Wed Dec 2, '09, 5:52 pm

What is your earliest memory of playing a game or system made by Sega? Did you enjoy playing that game/system?

My earliest is when I received a Genesis for Christmas one year. It came with Sonic 2, so of course that was the first Sega game I played. I never got very far in the game, but the system impressed me enough that I decided to rent a few titles from the local video stores. That makes my second memory Shining Force 2, I believe. Or maybe Phantasy Star III, I can't recall which I rented first.

My first Sega memory would probably be playing Tails in Sonic 2. I was probably about 4 or 5 at the time. ^_^

Playing Alex Kidd in Miracle World on my Dad’s old Sega Master System. The next Sega game I played was the Master System version of Sonic the Hedgehog which I enjoyed a lot more.

Mine would be Sonic 1 on the Genesis. I remember heading to a friends house after hearing about this "awesome game system with realistic graphics". I remember him booting up the Genesis with Sonic in there and hearing "Seeegaaa" and was blown away even before the game started. Next experience was with Phantasy Star III

My Dad purchased a Sega Genesis in contrast to my home SNES. The first game that I tried on it was Sonic the Hedgehog 2. I loved it! I especially loved the speed in comparison to Super Mario World for the SNES. I didn't finish it completely, but I had great times with it. :D

The first Sega game I saw had to be in the arcade but I can't remember which one. During the 8-bit era I was only dimly aware that Sega also made a home system. However, I was sold on the Genesis the first time I saw a commercial for it. Altered Beast & Golden Axe were the first two I played and even though they were rather short I thought they were incredible.

My first memory can be traced to a Christmas LONG ago where I got a Sega Genesis, which was packed with Sonic the Hedgehog, and I also got Castle of Illusion and a Taz-Manian Devil game. Man, I remember mom telling to get to bed. Sonic 1 just seriously sucked me in. :D
