GTA V I guess. used to make lots of profit with trading, didn't spend a cent of real money
Pokemon Gold, I asked my Mom to drive me to Target exactly at 9:00 so I could get my preorder, and what the fuck does she do after I pay?
>I'm gonna buy Silver for your brother, I don't want you to be the only one with it
F u c k i n g
PS4. I kinda tricked my father to pay half of my ps3 saying that it was a multimedia center eletronic or some shit. I wasnt lying because he still uses it and watch netflix everyday.

For money earned as a kid for doing stuff/helping? Probably something for Amiga/PSX.
>>315372203
yeah im gonna need sauce for that senpai
>>315372203
>Earned yourself
I worked my ass off all summer for a landscaping company and nearly died of dehydration to make a handful of cash. The first thing I did with my first paycheck was buy some new shoes, some stuff to make hamburgers and fries, and a copy of Stronghold: Crusader.
God, that was a good weekend!
Techno cop for apple iic. That game was the shit
>>315372203
I think it was TBC. My mother refused to pay my WoW subscription and so i had to start working in my local gas station. TBC went up and that may be my first game/expansion bought with my own money.
Fucking Toy Story for SNES. I regret every penny I wasted for it.
Not sure actually. Probably Anno 1602 or some shit.
>>315374124

I feel more sorry for my friend who mowed lawns for a month to get himself a copy of Rise of the Robots just on the basis Brian May did the soundtrack.
>>315372203
Fallout. I was 10 and I remember losing the manual in the bus on the way home. Man was I sad.
I think it was Pokemon Diamond and Pearl.
>>315373750
>that feel when he wouldn't do it for you if he thought you only wanted to get your games burned and didn't want to be his friend
>having to spend hours with him watching weird shit anime and listing to his austic trivia about heavy metal history
>still having to pay him money to burn shit for you
>finally get a burner
>"anon, why don't you come over anymore? i've got a lot more anime to show you"
>"i dunno man just been busy I guess"
>actual friend comes over, "hey anon can I bring some shit over to burn?"
>"fuck yea"
>his fucking face when
I'm so sorry Steven but honestly dude you never showered and you smelled like shit and your hair had more grease than a fucking deep fryer. And like five years later, when you went full goth and dressed like those swedish metalheads at eurovision, and you got that goth girlfriend, no one fucking cared because she was fat as fuck and her face looked like she'd just buried it in a box of pizza Shapes and no amount of black lipstick and eyeliner and white warpaint was going to hide it.
>>315374362
I was actually hyped as fuck and i had a lot of fun with my friends leveling up and progressing the game for years.
Tomb Raider or Warcraft II for PSX. Never play a badly ported RTS game with a controller. Christ.

dark souls probably. i think i bought myself a 360 and skyrim for christmas 2011 after quitting vidya for the previous 2-3 years at age 18-21
>>315372203
It's hard for me to say. I remember my first paycheck; it snagged me a new PS2 and GTA III. I was sixteen at the time.
"Earned?" When I was a kid I'd rake the neighbors' yards, stuff like that.
Then I'd bike to the mall and buy PC games.
I'll go with SimAnt.
You faggots are young as fuck. Please tell me someone remembers playing vidya on an apple iic? I used to have a text only football game that I spent days of my childhood playing. Anyone remember catch the fucking wumpus?
I mowed lawns for the cash.
Ocarina of Time3Danda 3DS XL

When I was growing up I had a friend whose mother worked for Digital. That family had a dozen computers back when nobody had one yet. I remember those old Apple games, but I never had an Apple at my house.
Luckily this friend lived a few houses down. The first game on our first PC was pic related. I remember his mother trying to teach my mother how to install it and use DOS.
Ultimately they just taught me.
>>315377781
My nigga. Finally someone who was alive in the golden era. I was practically ready to suck cock to get the Simpson's game around that time. I still have all my old Nintendo power magazines I used to daydream over. Amazing how much a few pictures can make you imagine. Oh Jesus, little nemo adventures in slumberland! I am about to have a nostalgia ejaculation.
Hell, I dunno, Turtles in Time probably.
There was a pawn shop in walking from my house growing up, and they have cheap as fuck video games.
I mowed lawns, and bought vidya all summer.
>>315372203
Driver
My dad then took it from me and hid it somewhere in a closet, saying something about how I shouldn't waste my money on useless stuff.
I bought FFVIII for my brother after he introduced me to the series with VII.
We don't talk very much anymore.
>>315378265
Ho shit. One of the best game.
>>315372203
I always had so much money that when I started to earn money I didn't keep count

Define "earned"
If it was first game I bought with money from chores and stuff, then it would have been some ps1 game, I know I bought Crash 1 myself for cheap in 2000 after having 2, 3 and CTR but there may have been something earlier.
If "earned" means from an actual job, then I'm pretty sure it was Infamous 2.
My girlfriend buys every game for me. Bought Fifa 15 with my own money and a few games on steam
>>315379261
Does she have a strapon? She should buy one, you would enjoy.
>>315372203
When I finished high school I got a job, saved up to build a pc and bought Half Life 2 with it. So that, I guess. My parents bought me games as a kid, but I had to do chores and shit for them, but that doesn't really count.
think it was kessen
Probably Syphon Filter 3
Original Playstation with Tekken 3.
It was bought on a "head or tails" coin toss situation.
RNJesus knew what was good for me.
>>315375357

What Simpsons game? Vs Space Mutants or Vs the World?
I had both + MM3, SM3, Battletoads.
Also around 40 Famicom cartridges with an adapter for the NES.
Where you able to beat Bart vs the world?
Black Ops 2
>>315378143
Think i was the only one in town with it. People in older grades were coming up to me and trying to get copies. Pretty funny looking back. They were different times for sure.
>>315380130
Vs the world, and no I never did beat it. I had a lot of games I didn't best back then. Just didn't have the motor skills and comprehension to know how I suppose.
Gameboy Advance + MM Battlenetwork and Mario and Luigi. Not sure which game of either series.
>>315377987
>>315380234
Copies of np! I still have a three ring binder I assembled myself categorized with cheat codes tricks tips and game genie codes for various games. Such great memories
>>315380338
In our defence, shit was hard as fuck.
Didn't beat Battletoads either, but i was proud as fuck to be able to beat Megaman 3.
Took me some months though.
>>315380485

>>315372203
Descent 2 CD version.
Still have it, with the very 90s big box.
>>315380540
The gratification I got from figuring out top man is dr wilys weak spot on my own.... I was high on that feel for weeks
An n64 with wcw/nwo revenge. Even bought the strat guide, but fuck knows why. 1999 was the best summer ever, I miss it bros ;_;
I believe this is now a nostalgia thread
My first buy with earnt cash was Just Cause 2. Before then i'd use birthday money, or borrow games from friends or family
There is a wonderful dub steppy remix of the thanatos boss fight music from secret of mana floating around on YouTube. I used to record that shit onto cassette to listen to on the bus. Bestest vidya music ever
I bought interstate 76 with money I stole from my dad does it count?
I am a slav btw
>>315381412
>no link
>>315381449

Metal gear solid was the first game I bought.
Golden Axe for the Mega Drive. I saved up for a month washing cars and mowing lawns, even did bike repairs for other kids with my dads tool set.
