    Trying to figure out just what in the world was going on in Advanced Dungeons and Dragons: Treasure of Tarmin for the Intellivision is my earliest gaming memory, and I've been fairly hooked ever since, so I'm going with that.

    The early Mario games and the first Zelda game got me hooked for life

    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.

    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

    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!
