owait! I remember now, waaaaaaay back. When I still had a Apple II, my dad gave me a Floppy for some game with the name scribbled rather badly on the label. He "got them at a garage sale" along with other programs and stuff.

God, that was I don't even remember what year that was.

You never forget the first time you make someone unwillingly walk the plank.

The first pirated videogame I ever owned was Metal Gear Solid. My friend had a modded PSX and a huge collection of burned games so I had him mod my PSX and burned me MGS. The first ever pirated game that I bought was NFL Blitz for PSX.

It was Geometry Wars for the DS. Man, I loved that game to death. (It was my only rom on my R4 when I was on vacation in Pakistan. They didn't have internet when I stayed with family there.

The first thing I pirated was probably Pokemon Red. Man those were the days... I didn't want to get caught but dial up was so damn loud.

I had bought an Atari 2600 clone.
Actually The real question should be "first thing you ever not pirated" for me.
It was Simcity 300 WE (Unlimited)

It was 2003, around July or August. I had a GBA at the time and had bought the port of Donkey Kong Country on GBA, and was very very disappointed at how badly done it was. I missed the SNES and wanted one back, but at this point, we were in deep financial trouble and i was too young to get any sort of a job (already had one for mom, but that was rent money I guess). I had read an issue of EGM about a year or two prior about emulators (funny I know) but i never figured it out. So I finally starting doing my research on emulators and roms. It took a while for me to figure the stuff out, but i finally managed to find a copy of SNES9X and Donkey Kong Country. I wasn't sure what i was doing and didn't realize that i HAD gotten a rom, but it booted. I fell out of my chair, literally. Couldn't believe i was playing SNES games on a PC. Maybe that was noobish, and it was, but all this was new to me. What followed was a gradual climb to my current knowledge, which is now considerable. That was 7 years ago, but i'll never forget how happy i was at being able to play these games again. I was never able to get a real SNES again, and mom finding out I could pirate all these games was pretty funny. She wouldn't let me buy many games anymore, at least not ones i could pirate.

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
