I find it so interesting how strong of friendships and communal bonds can be made from playing games with friends and strangers alike. I was wondering where everyone's origins came from in terms of gaming. For me, my first game was Altered Beast on the Sega Master system. My dad picked this up for me in the 80s when I was only 4. We kicked ass together and it was pretty graphic for a 4 year old to play. Punching and kicking zombies and beasts that exploded into pieces lol It was rereleased on the Sega Genesis (which I still own). It's still a lot of fun to play today too. So what is everyone's story here?

  • Sega, Star Wars episode 1 Racer! and Sonic: The Hedgehog. I was on the 3rd grade, and my grandpa was visiting us in PR from NY. When I came home from school, he was blocking the TV, he moved and yell: "¡SORPRESA!" and there it was, my first console and games, and that was my very first time playing video games!

  • Started gaming near 2005, played every console there is to play. Sadly, not every game due to phobias, time, money, etc.

    • Either the Sega Genesis or the Super NES. Tough remembering which game was first i played on them, it was probably Sonic 1 on the Genesis and either Super Mario Kart or DK country on the SNES.

    • I'm going to say the first NES system was my official first console because I was like 3-4 years old playing Atari games not knowing exactly what I was doing. So Mario and Duck Hunt groomed me into the gamer I am today.

        I remember the atari 2600 when u was little. But my fondest memories of a system was the virtual boy and Mario tennis. As you can see this is why my eyes sight has been declining.

      • For all the people that say violent video games are destroying kids and making them violent in schools and at home, I am a prime example of how that is an extremely false statement.

        • First system was Atari with Pacman that I inherited from a cousin. Shortly after was the Genesis with Sonic the Hedgehog. And to this day that cartridge system runs with no issues. If the game doesn't work, blow in the cartridge and system. Problem solved.

          I was sick and my dad didn't know what to do to past the time since I would normally be in school so he told me how to move and shoot and a couple hours later 4 year old me was killing the covenant on easy in Halo 1 and I beat the game a year later with some small help from my dad. Now that I think about it he must have been bored cause easy xD. and from there dad got a 360 until it broke 5 times he then got a ps3 and I got my own xbox and 360 then my dad got ps4 and a couple months later he bought me my own ps3 and from here I'm gonna get a Xbox One when I get a job and my own ps4.

          • I remember having a commodore 64 when i was a kid but can't remember the games i would have played. So i'll go with either sonic, fantasy zone or that light gun game with the bloke on the train tracks on the master system.
