Kirby's Adventure. I remember how hyped I was when I finally got the emulator to work on my PC back in 2003! I played the fuck out of it with keyboard controls.

Super Mario 3.... Was the first ROM I loaded though I downloaded it with a ROM collection of all NES items.

It was either Mario Kart 64 or Super Smash Bros. 64 and no, I wasn't nervous about it.

Gosh, back when I started as a kid I didn't even realize that what I was doing was "wrong." I guess the first "thing" I probably pirated was Windows 95 (got it from a friend). As far as games? I started out with a bunch of old DOS games that didn't really have much in the way of copy protection. Stuff from the old-skool Epic Megagames, Jill of the Jungle, Epic Pinball, Jazz Jackrabbit, etc. Also The Lost Vikings for PC. But my favorites were definitely emulated gameboy and SNES games, played Pokemon that way before I had a gameboy.

Another one, was a friend at the time when the Dreamcast was at it's peak with scene releases dumping them every other day, always used to rip off his College ISDN line for the downloads. It's was only 56k modem for me back then and they used to take days to download.

Oh gawd what a question :lol: - I remember my dad getting a dodgy Atari 2600 cart with about 12 or so games on, most of which didn't work anyway, but I personally didn't start until the Amiga days. Kick Off 2 springs to mind, or IK+

Moved to console after my Amiga, and went 'clean' hehe until the PS1... bought more than my fair share of legit games on that, but my God did I pirate the hell out of it in its later years!
Picked up a PC somewhere around that time, discovered the joys of emulation, and let's just say my internet bill was rough - AOL 56k for £10 per month plus 1p per minute - might've cost me less back then if I'd just bought the damn games instead!

iirc, it was Mario and Luigi Dream Team after I learned about 3ds hacking.

    I'm so pumped, NCAA football video game is back after a 10 year hiatus, coming to SeriesS/X, PS5 in July.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    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.
