Dad bought an NES while he was in the Navy. He played one while on deployment and got hooked, had to have one at home. He had a stash of Dad games like Faxanadu, Solstice, Dragon Warrior, etc. Played them all anyway.

[JezuzChr1st]

First game was a very early apple computer game that all I remember was colorful pixels, then a black and white platformer that involved blowing through walls and another black and white game where you rode a ostrich type creature and fought off bird skeletons. First game I remember the name of was Oregon Trail.

Playing Super Mario Brothers at my friend's house in 85', it blew my mind! The NES went straight to the top of my Xmas list that year, I didn't want anything else.
