Because I didn't have a Nintendo right away, I always associated the games (and Atari, which I never owned, period) ones with other kids I played them with, at their houses. Mostly cousins. So Atari always got associated with one set of cousins, Mario 3 and World with another, Mario 1 with my mom's friend's kid, and so on. My dad had a Genesis - another system I never owned - and so I always played on it when I stayed with him. I played Final Fantasy 7 with a friend in high school til we fell asleep at like 3 am.

Those games still remind me of the people I associated them with as a kid, haha. tl;dr video games were rarely a 'lonely' experience back then.

I totally get this!

NES and Sega Genesis (and PS1) are associated with home and my immediate family (Dad, brothers) because that's what we had. Sega Master System and N64 are the systems my grandparents had for us to play when we'd stay with them during the day in the summer. So, I remember long days of KICKING ASS on Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Man, me and my brother rocked at those games. My daycare had SNES and that was the system I always wanted because I fucking loved Super Mario World but girls weren't allowed to to play video games because those were for boys.

So, yeah, when I think of certain games I think of certain people and places too.
