What Was Your First ROM?

(I accidentally posted this in the introduction forum and have no idea how to delete it lmao, first time using this website hopefully that isn't an issue) Firstly to start off I wanna say this is in no way a promotion for my youtube channel, but rather just a general question I want to ask other gamers (non derogatory) I've been wondering about for a while now. A little backstory, I've been doing gaming youtube content for around half a year now and one of the things I always struggle with is the format and how to keep it fresh and new rather than essentially just remaking content that others make. Personally I feel that I hardly find gaming content worth watching at this point and so I want to do my best to try to distinct myself from the crowd. Generally speaking I feel that most gaming content that I see now falls into one of several categories: game analysis/essay, playthroughs (although that's become less popular over all), or challenge runs; And I think that for the most part that shit has just been exhausted. So here are the two question I have for other people who like to watch gaming content on youtube: 1. Who are some gaming youtubers you feel genuinely have a unique style that's refreshing to watch? 2. What are some styles/formats of content you feel you don't see enough, but wish you did? I personally have been making sort of highly edited, high effort play-through (I guess would be the most fitting term?) videos of a variety of games that I personally have interest in (everything from the original fallout games to all capital G Gamer's favourite 3D platformer: Bubsy 3D), where I try to have actually good story telling, comedy and live action bits interspersed to keep things fresh. And personally I really like the type of content I do, but seeing as these videos aren't particularly doing well (which I know in part is due to the fact that "making it" on youtube is just a long ardous journey), it sort of makes me question whether or not other people are really interested in this type of content. Again, I am not trying to promote myself in anyway, just genuinely wanted to hear other people's opinion on the matter which could hopefully help organize my brain a bit. I don't know how to wrap this post up so I'll do it the way you do with an email Thanks in advanced, Me.

I remember playing Pokemon Red and Blue in emulators on an old laptop my dad got from work. Must of been 2001? I think it ran Windows 95, but I used the DOS emulators!

Wow, memories!

I think it was WarioWare Inc. Mega Microgames (GBA).

Pokemon Blue, I was addicted to the cartoon when I was a youngling and not sure who friend of family or friend of my brother gave us a Floppy Disk with an emulator (not sure which one but it looked like it ran on DOS) and the rom for Pokemon Blue, after that i was hooked on pokemon and delved deeper into the universe of Roms/Pirating etc.
