What got you into gaming?

[saltl1cker]

When I got my first gaming system the DS Lite I played new super mario brothers over and over again, and found my own speedrunning route for when I was bored

Parents bought a N64 for christmas and it was downhill ever since, ha.

Probably common for many people to receive a console at a birthday or some other event during the year.

Amiga 500 my brother had (that was later mine when he got the PC) I suppose, Superfrog, The Settlers, Pinky, Theme Park and others. Also "european" NES called Pegasus and classic games like Super Mario Bros and Battle City.

I honestly can't remember, most of my childhood is foggy and vague except for occasional moments of clarity.

A shared Christmas present with my brother. I will assume this was the late 70s.

The game "Simon" was the must have electronic game that year so Mom got us "Merlin". It was 6 in 1 computer game thing with a "Simon Alike", 21s, tic-tac-toe, "mastermind alike"

It ATE double A batteries like they were rice crispy kernals but the seed was sown. Playing alone in the dark with a hard piece of plastic...

I started playing atari in an arcade in elementary school.

Real love came with time, as we are used to say it for humans. my love for vodeo games is the same, from just a "time passing by", I'm still in it like never before. More the time passed by and the more I love video games. Now I can hardmod a console, repair computer, know much and better informatics, and I am proud of myself. I found a community within' video games, with much more kind than any other I found.
