How did you get into Video Games?

I don't know TBH, I was really young.But if I had to guess, it was my cousin who would have me play Spyro the Dragon with him every time I was in his house.

My parents used to rent a NES at the video store when I was like 3 to play Mario and Duck Hunt. Basically ever since i could hold a controller / comprehend how to play a game I have been doing it.

My fondest memories are probably from 98' when I got my first console, the ps1. Such great games and I played it for many, many years.

Thats a hard one. I was playing free games on the computer ever since I was a toddler. My first system was the DS, which I bought largely to fuck with this guy I hated who had a PSP and worshipped it like a North Korean worships Kim Jong Un.

I got an Xbox 360 when I was six because my uncle had an Xbox himself. (He was a Sega kid back when he was young.) I was hooked to gaming ever since. Once I ate a month-long grounding (for throwing a chair at someone, young me was rather unstable) but I just played games even more often afterwards. (I play almost exclusively Nintendo games now. It's there in some thread or another.)

Played second hand sega and SNES systems with just a few games. sonic the most played at the time one day when I was six or something I convinced my dad to just keep going on it and he made it to the final level.

I really became a gamer with pokemon stadium and I played every part of it a lot because my parents would never buy the most expensive game without seeing it was worthwhile to another kid. Everyone else played it casually and were amazed that I completed the stadium events unlocking the speed up function for the gameboy game.

It's so long ago that I hardly remember. If I remember correctly, I used to watch while my older brother played MAME 32, so I grew up with emulated arcade games. My first ever console was a PS1 and my first handheld was a Gameboy Colour, both of which were handed down to me from my much older cousin who grew tired of them. Ah, memories!
