I figure I am one of the younger ones here because it was the N64 for me. Legend of Zelda Oot and MM both scared and intrigued me with adventure and exploration, but I think Super Smash Bros is what got me into my play every genre mentality.

Pokémon was the only thing to pass the time with when 8 or 9 years old and waiting for your event at swim meets all summer. We had a little tent with a massive trading and battling operation every tuesday and thursday.

Remember being bored as all get out when my grandmother was babysitting me one day. Started digging through her things and found an atari console with a few games. Quickly become the only thing I did over there that wasn't boring.

My parents got me an Atari when I was barely old enough to even understand pooping.

I just sat around, pooped, and watched my dad play videogames. Eventually I started to try and play too, and it just went from there.

I started to play the moment I actually learned how to use the controller for the snes

My dad bought our NES when I was young; I used to get a new game if I got all A's in school.
