Hello guys! Its my turn to tell you about my childhood video game memories!
PlayStation Portable (PSP) (year 2004)
In my chilhood times everyone had PSP, almost nobody was interested in PC. If u had to make a choice between those two, the right answer was PSP. Thats how I got my first PSP. It was like year 2004. I dont even remember which games I played on it but this small console was my best friend.
PC times (year 2005)
This is the time I got my first PC, and here I have a clear memories of what I played and how my life evolved from this day. Let's start from the first game I played and it was "Matrix: The Path of Neo".
Playing this game for me was like one of the best memories of my whole life. I remember avoiding all the bullets, shooting in mid air, being nearly immortal. I felt like I am the NEO (character of Matrix Movie), there were some moments after playing this game when I was trying to climb the walls in Real Life. LMAO it really affected me so hard and till now I think its my TOP1 single player game, such a big nostalgic time for me!
Couple weeks after my first Single Player game...
....I got my internet connection and by the friend recommendation
started playing "Metin2" on official server Arkantes.
Those times! Metin2 will never be the same game as it was those days. I stopped going to school, started to play it 24/7, this game was my life. I've made a lot of friends there, got invited to a good guild and grinded in it for next years. Even now I like to back to this game from time to time, it brings so much nostalgy.

My next game I have a lot of nostalgic memories was "Tibia".
I remember when I got to Tibia. If u kill someone you can pick up his loot , If he kills you you losing all loot and part of EXP. This game gave me so many emotions, being happy, being angry, I even wanted to fight a guy in real life because he killed me in this game, also in this game I learned my first words in English. I remember when I traded a guy and he said to me "ty" (In polish "ty" means - "You"). I was like "Me? what do you want from Me?", after 5 minutes I realized he was not talking about me he was trying to say Thanks to me. LMAO. I spend a lot of good and bad times in this game and till this day I like to go back into some private servers and have a good times (especially nowadays u can play on Tibia servers with mods like Naruto Tibia, One Piece Tibia, Pokemon Tibia)
I remember when my friend also got PC and he showed me Counter-Strike:Source, I was like oh this game sucks, then he showed me Counter Strike 1.6. I played a lot on Non-Steam version but I was in love with this game so I bought Steam version. I was playing all days FFA and Aim Map servers. I've meet a guy called "Night" he is my best friend til today! I formed a team with him and his friends. We were not toxic, and we had a great communication. I know those guys til this day and they are my best friends.When I realised how eSport works I started to play even more.I remember when I created a clan site and I was looking for partners/sponsors, lookings for PCW (practice clan war) on MIRC. Everything was so nostalgic. I spend 10 years on playing this game and got really good at aiming. When they announced Counter-Strike:Global offensive, I had depression. For me it was like the end of my life, ofc I play CS:GO til this day and I managed to get highest rank in it but it will be never the same as CS 1.6.

Til this day I love to watch those videos it brings back so much nostalgy for me. Those time should never end, they should be eternal, so I would be happy forever
This game for me was the best version of Battlefield. Let's call it "Childhood Battlefield!". yes, any other battlefield imo can't compare to it. I got to this game for like 4 months together with my friends from CS 1.6 and we had a really good time playing it. Im so mad its dead and nowadays everyone play other Battlefield games. I would love to go back to it and feel this nostalgy.
Thats the end of my chilhood gaming memories.
I played a lot of games after my two last games CS 1.6/Battlefield Bad Company 2 but I feel all of them can't compare to those from my childhood times, maybe I'm just too old to have a good time or maybe those new games are really bad, im not sure about it but 100% im sure that I will never forget my childhood times as a gamer.
