Just yesterday after I finished playing on the PS4, I was excited for the near future when the PS5 would launch. It was the same excitement as when I got the PS2 after playing the PSone, a promise of a more refined console with new games that would benefit greatly from the jump in hardware. And looking back, the original PSone was not even close to one of the first video games consoles ever. I kinda want to know what your experiences were like when you were first exposed to videogames.
I think my first exposure to videogames was when my late grandfather bought me my first gameboy pocket, it was the clear variant and it had one of those 32 in one game cartridges. I do not recall what the 31 other games were, but I was very invested in the gameboy version of Felix the cat. It was really otherworldly to control a tiny character in a tiny screen that is similar to the calculator my dad has in his office. Especially since you need the right lighting to actually see what is going on, and you have to know that the beeps and boops coming from the game actually means something. It was a cherished moment, so much so that I was really excited to find an original copy of felix the cat online in great condition. I have it with me now and a part of me wants to finally complete that game, where another one wants to leave the game unfinished, it is a weird feeling but I cherished that game as the introduction to my interest in gaming. Especially now that videogames are at its most visually appealing, refined, and varied. It does not leave much to the imagination, but the games now do offer more than ever before.
