Well ever since I could remember I always as a little kid loved to go to the arcade in our local mall. (Replay as I recall) me and my cousin would get loads of tickets and exchange them in for cool neat prizes. I even think we got an Original Game Boy with al the tickets we saved up (and I'm talking months of saving maybe even a year or so). And after that we could not decide who would get the Game Boy. So he would take it home one week and I would the next. My mothers boyfriend at the time, which may I say Rest in Peace because just a couple weeks ago marked the 11th year since he took his own life, he really was the one who got me into gaming. He bought me my first NES, Genesis, he let me play his Sega Saturn and the Beavis and Butthead game when my mom wasn't home. He got me onto the Tomb Raider franchise on the playstation. Man I miss those days.
Bubble Bobble for the nes when I was about 5 years old.
There has never been a point that I wasnt a gamer. Super Mario Bros also helped.
Boredom with real life
I don't even remember, I just know that I had a 1st Gen Gameboy in the very beginning and I was incredibly addicted ot Tetris and Super Mario Land 1&2. I was crying of joy when I finished Super Mario Land on our vacation trip to Denmark :P

Sims 3 and Gameing boyfriends got me into games, now I've tried pretty well all he main ones like Magic, Wow, L2, Rift, Sims 1, 2 and 3.
I'm 45 so I've been gaming a long time. The first time I remember playing a computer game was on a homemade garage computer around 1979, it was of course a simple ASCII text game but addictive all the same back then. Through my teenage years I owned Atari, Commodore, and tons of handheld simple electronic games around the early 80's. I owned my first computer with a whole 512mb of memory in 1986. My favorite games on it were Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, Zork, and a little game you might have heard of called Hack Text based games are still my favorite. Throughout the years since I've played EVERYTHING that came out on computers and consoles. I'm a GIRL GAMER and proud of it :) I have 2 children, my daughter cares nothing for electronics except for little games on her smart phone. My son on the other hand followed in my footsteps and is a gamer. My husband doesn't even know how to turn one on, lol. I'm sure that I will be gaming until the day I die, with a keyboard and controller in each hand!
contra game on NES, my childhood
This guy my mom was dating gave me one of his NESes with a copy of Mario 3 and The Adventures of Bayou Billy. I started playing them, and have kept playing games since.
My brother!
Dad bought ff8 for me when i was like 9 lol
i started on sega, but i wasn't much into games back then, then my dad bought a psx, Biohazard being the first game i played, he rented it, and i fell in love with it, polus games like tekken, dino crisis among other classics
What got me into gaming? well, it's been in my family since i was born. I was born into the nintendo. my favorite game was always Contra.
Being I had an elder brother who was 13 years older than I, and a sister who was 10 years older, I was fortunate enough to get into the NES and SNES games at a very young age. One of the very first games I remember playing a lot was Megaman 2, Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Metroid. Once I got older, I had a friend who had a PSX and would beat an enormous library of RPGs he would rent. I also grew up with the Game Boy, and nabbed an N64 when I was 8 with Super Mario 64 and Star Fox 64. It was awesome.
It gives me wings to full field my wishes.
for me it was atari 2600 i got one from my dad for x mas
nintendo
