My cousin had Super Mario Bros 3 and Contra on the Nes and a bunch of other Nes games while my brother had Sonic, Vectorman, Mortal Kombat and streets of rage for the Sega Genesis when I was mad young. By the time Final fantasy 7, Metal Gear Solid and Castlevania Sotn dropped I tested at a 11th-12th grade reading level when I was 8 or 9.
Once I get time I'm going to take my Gaming PC apart and make it turbo. So, I can get a lot of PC games on it. Been thinking about getting the Nintendo Switch.

Love is a long road.
When I was like 9 me and my brother went to visit my aunt who had a PS1 and she would let me and him play it. I’ve been a gamer ever since then.

Double Dragon on the Sega Master System. Loved that game.
To this day I have no idea what happened to it, think my brother sold it and got a NES.

Are you just asking what system we played first or why we took up gaming from a social aspect?

I was a very very casual gamer as a small kid.
I had a NES, SNES, N64 and PS1 but played those very very casually. Had maybe 3-5 games for each of those consoles. Gaming was a side thing to do, not really a hobby cause I'd probably be more interested in playing with my power ranger or DBZ action figures than play video games if given the choice most of the time.
When the Dreamcast came out is when I made a permanent shift into an avid gamer. I'd guess it was a mix of the catalogue really grabbing me as well as being a bit older in my preteens and actually understanding stuff like plot and shyt in the video games. Dreamcast is also responsible for my love of fighting games, I'd be in an arcade every now and then but the capcom catalogue of fighting games on dreamcast is where I really got hooked and did most of my competitive play.

The first Sonic The Hedgehog game was my introduction into gaming but the Sega Saturn is what got me hooked. Used to play Fighters Megamix (Virtua Fighter & Fighting Vipers crossover game) , Clockwork Knight 2, and Daytona USA all day.
My parents got me an NES as a kid when I was maybe...six or so?
From then on it was just a hobby. Got a Genesis in elementary school, a PS1 in middle school, a Dreamcast freshman year of high school, a PS2 Jr or Sr year (forgot which), and then a PS3 later on in college. Just got around to getting a PS4 last year. I'm not quite as hardcore as I was in my college days, but I still game.
