I remember hating Sega with every fiber of my being. Partly due to Nintendo's famous brainwashing. Funny thing is I later hated Nintendo.

The first gaming system i ever got was a sega pico (it was an video game system made for younger children) the games were these interactive books u plug in and flip the pages to change screens it had a touch pad and stylus that translated to a cursor on the screen. Me and my brother loved that thing to death. the best game was sonic the hedgehog gameworld. i played that forever as a young kid. the most memorable moment was when my twin brother and i broke our Pico by stuffing the cartridge slot full of pennies and quarters. we were just like "hmm... i wonder what will happen if we do this" and it broke. we were so sad. i'm not sure how long it took, but our parents eventually bought us a new one, but we were almost at the age where the games were too childish. i still playd sonic the hedgehog gameworld anyway though

The first time I played a Sonic game on my cousin's old Mega Drive. I went so fast I didn't care if I sucked.

Only friends and relatives owned any Sega console, my parents didn't really...like Sega, I guess. I went into a Value Village (second-hand shop in Canada) and went to the front counter, just looking around. And there, I saw something that made me want to dish out the $15.00 for something I'd never use. It was a copy of Resident Evil on the Sega Saturn. That face...looking back at me, it just blew my mind. Why would anyone donate that to Value Village? I may never know, but when I returned, it was gone, and all now I have is the thought of was what might have been...

I will never, ever, ever forget the hours and hours I sunk into Gauntlet Legends on the Dreamcast with my friend over the summers of third and fourth grade. Of course, in retrospect it's a pretty mediocre game, but when you're in third grade it is completely bad-ass to have your green archer pull out a MASSIVE bow and shoot dozens of arrows all at the same time. Ah, how many times I heard "Green Archer is about to die!" I'll never forget you, Gauntlet.

When I finished Shenmue. On Christmas Day in-game, perfect little final battle against the snowy backdrop. It really choked me up.

I have always been thankful for Sega having Alex Kidd game built into the Master System II. So many fond Alex Kidd memories sprung from that.

All I really remember is the first 2 levels of sonic 2, and the 1st level of sonic one. but I loved it when. good animation, going really fast, man it was awesome. I also remember some puzzle game that looked like bejeweled. never actualy knew what it was though. (BTW, I honestly like sonic adventure 1 and 2. I didn't care about the bad voice acting, or dumb characters at all. I still got to go fast and play as eggman.) me and my friend still play to this day.
