>21st: Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire - 10th

FUCK IM OLDDDDDDD

Annnnnd we're off!

list

Ack! I'ma have to fix some of these. Failed ta mention I'm only counting when a game was first released regardless of region. So like Starfox 64 is April 27th! This is a good start!

[phoopes]

>Lindz:

Oh, all right then. I'm just a bit too lazy to go back and look up the Japanese release dates of most of these games, haha. However, some of them should remain the same. For example, both the Sly Cooper and Rachet and Clank series were American games, so I think I have the correct release date for them and other American games.

[deoxys]

This thread exists for the soul reason of making me old and depressed so fuck you :(

[empoleon dynamite]

Pong is 40 years old? I know it's primitive as far as game systems go, but I like to think of 40 years ago as a black & white era where nobody had TVs and people communicated by telegram. In reality not much has changed since then and now.

I still play on Ruby like it's not that old, when in reality it was made over half my lifetime ago. Oh god thanks Lindz d:

[Jerichi]

This thread is making me and T-Dos feel old. I do not like that.

T-Dos and I are always going to be awkwardly young.

Always.

Just like Hana.

[dosuser]

Woa Pong is only 40? I thought it was one of the very first games ever. I think this thread is having the wrong effect on me; it's reminding me that the gaming industry has only recently appeared and is still very young.

[phoopes]

I still play on Ruby like it's not that old, when in reality it was made over half my lifetime ago. Oh god thanks Lindz d:

This is exactly how I feel. I mostly play it because it was my first Pokemon game that I ever owned. I had played my brothers' R/B/Y and G/S/C, but that was the first one that was truly mine. I don't really think of it as that old, but then again I do get nostalgic about it.

[DaveTheFishGuy]

Oh god I was halfway through senior school when I got Sapphire ;;

[Concept]

Please excuse me where I try to work out where so many years of my life vanished off to.

Please excuse me where I try to work out where so many years of my life vanished off to.

[phoopes]

I thought maybe we could start a list for hardware, too. This is the only one I can remember off of the top of my head.

15th Anniversary
March 1st: Nintendo 64

Now that makes me feel old. I was born before the N64 came out, lol.

>21st: Pokémon Ruby & Sapphire - 10th

FUCK IM OLDDDDDDD

I remember playing this game in 6th grade. What the fuck.

Also, are those release dates for Japan or America?

[phoopes]

I think all of the ones released in Japan have their original Japanese release dates. That is, if Lindz took the time to correct me, lol. I mostly had American release dates on my list of stuff, so.

[Rangeetsuper]

I'M SO YOUNG MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA


.....

[Itzatrap]

Wow now I feel old after seeing a few of those from my childhood. ._.
