What Turned You Into A Gamer?

[PS5 Pro]

I haven't gamed in a while, but I used to in highschool. Anyway, the N64 back in 1997 turned me into a gamer.


What about yall?

I remember being 2 yrs old and my older brother had an Atari 2600. We had the joysticks and the paddles. Pong with paddles would be fun even today Atari boxing and of course Combat. It's crazy that I can recall a lot of shyt from that age

Started with sega genesis and sonic

It was SMB.

I played Atari, but just never connected with it.

But when a breh saw this at about 5 years old or so


The first 30 seconds of that video are the most important 30 seconds in video game history and I dare anyone argue.

Started with a NES, mom bought it for me with duck hunt and mario and top gun. We were poor and broke, I have no idea what possessed her to buy a 4-5 year old a hundred dollar system at such a young age. But it was a wrap every since then.

It was destiny

the arcade. I think the first game I played was Asteroids. I remember I had to stand on a little booster stool to play

 

[Amor fati]

I've been playing since I was two, my uncle's used to give me a turn or they would give me an unplugged remote control pretending that I was playing.

Double murder across the street. Mom bought me a Snes and told me to stay inside.

 

[Take It In Blood]

I don't respect u as a gamer if you never played Duckhunt with the gun

 

[Two Stacks]

Mario 3 followed closely by SF2

 

[Morose Polymath]

My parents..... My moms told me once I got older she got me into video games to help keep my Black ass off the streets

I'll never forget, I was 3 or 4 and my mom dragged me to the grocery store. As she was checking out, there was a Samurai Shodown 2 cabinet, and I was standing at it fukking with the joystick and buttons even though I had no quarters in it lol. After seeing that, my interest in games began, and I still love them to this day

Was about 4 or 5, my aunt had an snes in her room that she never played but always had some new games. She would let me in her room and get on it and id spend all day playing megaman, batman and spiderman games.

My mom bought me a SNES..uncle hooked it up and played that bish all Christmas day:mjaggy:

But My uncle and cousins always had a system..

I was living with my pops and his homie and his homie son would have his friends over and play Mortal Kombat on Sega

I'm thankful to have grown up playing games but still playing outside though...nowadays kids stay inside on snow days :noshoobies:
