#it also had like 4 slightly different versions of Nintend/ogs??

what console and/or game introduced you to gaming?

Technically it was a player vs player Bomberman clone called Playing with Fire 2 on those old flash game websites I‘d play at my parents workplace.

But as an actual game, it’s probably Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Wintergames 2010, the DS (read: better :P) version. There’s also Bomberman DS but that came just sliiiiightly later.

…it’s also how I became a hardcore sonic fan without ever playing a single game until 6 years later. Seriously younger me was obsessed with that hedgehog. Said flash game website also had that one popular Sonic Advance game which really didn’t help. Heck, I never played Sonic Unleashed and yet the main theme Endless Possibility is still incredibly nostalgic just because my favorite minigame (Dream Figure Skating) has like 15 seconds of a midi cover in it’s music, and it’s not even that good lmao (…it’s probably not even midi. Idk what format the DS is using for the sound actually but it sounds very retro-)

#another anon ask #anyways if I ever randomly post sönic fanart this is why #also Endless Possibility is just genuinely such a hype song #MandS technically isn’t the only game #there was also NewSupMB and Märiö Kart but those games were deleted off the cartridge by younger family members #…it was a bootleg cartridge. In my defence everyone has bootleg cartridges from the flea market #it also had like 4 slightly different versions of Nintend/ogs?? #they all played the same - only difference was the available apartment styles and dog breeds to buy #F to my Shiba Inu army that‘s all called different variations of ^Hello^ #and Ani/mal cross/ing! Didn’t actually know it was on that cartridge for 2 years #because once you scrolled past the first few games the whole thing would completely freeze and you’d have to reset the console #until I found out you can press some buttons to scroll per page #and behold! ACWild World right there at the top of the second page! #along with 3 more versions of Bombe/rman further down the pages #gotta pad it out somehow to get to that super high number that makes people buy those cartridges #95% is shovelware and doubles but those last 5% are gold #so much More to tell about those cartridges but these tags are getting too long and too many even for me lmao #…I just noticed I wrote defence instead of defense. oof. Not gonna rewrite that tag though.
