Turbo Boss Battle! Daily Gaming. Daily Exploding Shotgun Shells.

A Turbo Oral History Pt. 1

crafted by: Paul

 Like Mega Man said, "We are the sum of our experiences." One of the exciting things about being an adult gamer is sharing your gaming background with other adult gamers. Every gamer is different, because every gamer grew up in a different environment, with different access to different games and gaming devices. So, in the great tradition of ... oral tradition, Turbo Boss Battle's two editors present the first part of their gaming history.

Alex: I'll start with a question to you to get started: What was the first game you played, how old were you, and what year was it?

Paul: The earliest game I remember playing was Metroid for NES at my cousins’ house. It must have been 1990 or 91, so I was 3 or 4. That's what I feel in my gut anyways

Paul: Now back at you. First game?

Alex: It was Mario and Duck Hunt for me, that’s what I remember playing a lot of when I was really young. My parents said I was 2 when I started playing which would have made it 1989.  I definitely don't know how much I actually "played" but my parents joke that I was basically born with a controller in my hand

Paul: So your older brother had an NES?

Alex: Yeah, it was my brother's. Strangely, I don't remember playing video games with my brother at all even though we shared video games consoles for many years

Alex: What was your first system?
