Games are so much more enjoyable when you have real nice childhood/family memory to go with it. I'll never forget being at my grandma's one night for dinner, when my uncle and his wife to be, walked through towards the lounge room where the rest of the family were. Under his right arm my uncle was holding a square cardboard box with writing on it. I couldn't make it out as I was only 5 or 6 years old at the time.

What was to come, was something I had never seen before at that stage of my life. It was a Nintendo Entertaintment System with two games, one was Terminator (man i liked the movie but the game was wack, but i didn't care coz i was a tyke then) and the other was something so simple, but man it was the best game. SUPER MARIO BROS.

We all had a go, first I ran straight in to a goomba (them brown -blam!- walking mushroom things), then i had to wait for my turn again. Then finally my second try I finished the level and the thing that made this so captivating, was the fact of how this game brought the whole family together on that single occasion. Also the fact that every time I jumped with Mario, my arms would move up as if I was trying to jump too! (I'm sure some people would have done this, being there first game ever! lol)

So in closing this would have to be my all time favourite game, next to Zelda, Mario All-stars, Mario 64, Conkers BFD and HALO: Combat Evolved (can't wait till HALO 2). Although I obviously have other all time favourites, I also have some more favorite gaming/family moments too!

Thats my whole two cents.

P.S. If anyone would like to share their past experiences with games that would be cool!, because after all, parents were the ones that would buy us those consoles we wanted so bad! Back in the day!!!
