What got you into gaming?

[ckubssk]

I adhere to the "evolution of aesthetics" and believe that no one understands the appreciation of complex art from the beginning, and always starts with simple art first. If you get bored, go to the next one. Simple art can't be seen forever, I need to find something that can make me reminisce for a lifetime. During this process, I came across the game, but I didn't really have much reason, I just liked it.

Bored at real life, using game to escape reality.

Didn't live in a neighborhood with other kids and my brother is 9 yrs older than me so video games were one of my only sources of entertainment growing up

Playing Pacman when I was on holiday in a pub in England. From there I was hooked. Always remember the first time I played After Burner in the moving cabinet. It was so wizard.

When I was 5 years old I started playing a Pac-Man clone for the TI-99 home computer called Munchman which had games with voice synthesis so advanced for its time it would only be matched by Dragon's Lair and PS! years later with CD soundtracks. That's when I started getting into consoles, I had tried Pong and arcade games before then but did not have a collection to play at first so I was not a gamer until I was in first grade.

When I was very young around 4 years old I would watch my mom play Ms. Pacman on a cocktail arcade at her work and I loved it. The colors, sounds and flashing lights hooked me instantly. I've been gaming ever since going from atari 2600 to the playstation 5.

Not having my own gaming console while my cousin had everything. I enjoyed games which made me thirsty for them since I couldn't play them.

[vivialan]

Donkey Kong 2600. Not sure why but it hooked me.
