Not entirely sure, I never asked my parents but I've been gaming for longer than I can remember
a good deal of my family was casual gamers, aunts and uncles, grandma and grandpa would duel it out on dr mario almost monthy. (grandma was the best) so i just grew up with a nintendo (NES). that was about it however, we couldnt afford handhelds or games. i skipped right to a 64, never owning a snes, and only had a handful of games for it. not even zelda until years later. but, i wouldnt have had it any other way, since my lack of material games got me into emulation right at it's start and the start of the internet in the late 90's. i always enjoy coming across emulation topics that reference work by "loopy" or ZD. downloading snes roms on dialup took forever, when you could find the things. sites came and went through the years starting with "freeroms.com" and "rpgroms" (for ff games, naturally). later "Edgeemu" was the reliable site with the huge database, but soon that was shutdown too. finally emuparadise showed up. honestly, i thought it wouldn't last. figured it would get shut down eventually too. but here it stands, running strong and is easily the go to place year and after year. long may we live in this emulation paradise.

Kingdom Hearts, Dragon Ball Z, Naruto Shippuden, etc. I started to play games and also "The Old Time Favorite" - Super Mario
Don't remember how I got into gaming, just remember loving it right away and playing Super Mario World as a kid at my grandma's.
PAC-MAN
my favorite thing in gaming is to be able to be immersed in a virtual; story for hours on end. most of the games i play have better stories and characters then most movies.
My Amiga 1200 was frikking amazing... I played "The Settlers" all day ( btw. my account is not activated @ the time i am writing this and i can not post anywhere else :( )

Simple, really. Legend of Zelda; original NES. It caused repetitive epileptic seizure induced night terrors for me... sure didn't stop me from completing the master quest before I completed kindergarten though. :P
I started out playing rpg MSDOS games on an old computer a friend built for me and my sisters. I also got into console games because my grandma bought us a Super Nintendo with Super Mario Bros, Mega Man X and Double Dragon I've been hooked ever since! We have an xbox360 but I still love the pc rpg games and gotta have emulators so I can play the classic console game whenever I get the itch!
I want to say it was the Gamecube that got me into real gaming but I believe it was Pokemon Red that was my first game.
mario!
I first got into it when I got the original Game Boy from a family friend.
passion for endings!!
My big brother introduced me to it: The first time I played a videogame(with the ability to remember it) was Sonic The Hedgehog 2 on Megadrive: I loved that Coop-mode! :D
frogger and pit fall for the Atari 2600
When I was 5 my parents bought me a Sega Master System and a ton of games as a birthday present, the rest is history...
Destiny!
tomba. then the cd got corrupted. which naturally brought me here.
Super Mario!
When i was a little kid, arcade video games at public places got me into gaming.
my sister handing me her gameboy with street fighter 2. and my NES my parents bough for me
I've been gaming since I was four or five, but I don't remember how I got into it. I think my parents just bought me a Genesis and that was the start.
I start with Mario Bros NES
zelda all of them
I first came into contact with videogames when my friend got a C64. Ever since then I am hooked.
WAtching that 1st trailer for the NES system and then playing at my cousins house. PLaying Suer MArio Bros and Duck Hunt. I feel old now
nes was the first digital crack
Since i'm a child, with Mario on the first Nitendo.
The original playstation
i got into gaming from resident evil 2
I've always been an arcade kind of guy. When I saw the NES at my friend's house I was constantly asking to spend the night there just so we could play.
As a kid I had the Atari 2600 and can remember playing Defender for hours on end. I never knew there wasn't really an end to that game.
