Okay, I'll start!

I remember the year being around 1990 or so and my downstairs neighbor got an NES for the first time, it came with Mario/Duck Hunt and that was the only game he had. Since I knew the game a little bit (had not beaten it at that point) I remember going downstairs and helping him set up the NES and he fired up some SMB for the first time, boy was he enthralled by it having only had an Atari 2600 leading up to that point. I knew some tricks but not many and we both kind of learned the game together, we literally played for hours and before you knew it it was like 9PM and my mom came down stairs to get me, I was 10 at the time, and she said I could stay there the night if his mom was okay with it (she was). We stayed up until about 3am continuously playing SMB and Duck Hunt, it was a really special time for me and we had a lot of fun. I'll always remember that, those are memories today's systems just can't offer.

Time to share some memories of yours!
