My first videogame experience was with the Commodore 64 and the amazing Montezumas Revenge, my dad and some of his friends assed around with the C64 when they were younger. One day he let me and my younger brother play and we were hooked since then.
It was my stepdad. This sounds pretty bizzare but every night we would go into the basement and play Atari 5200 and chinese checkers.

That actually sounds beautiful. Last time I played videogames with my dad was Super Nintendo/ good times.
Heh me and my dad played Ready to Rumble Boxing on the Sega Dreamcast at EBgames every time we went. I'd look forward to it. Hell we bought an N64 to do that :O
I used to play on my uncle old Atari as well as old floppy disks crappy games on commodore 64 when i was like 3, wasn't until a little while that i got my first console, a snes.
First system I had was an Atari. I had this game that had about 20 mini games on it that I loved. We kept it in a cupbaord under the stairs tho so whenever I wanted to play it I had to beg my dad to set it up for me. Those were the days.
My older brother bought Nintendo 64 and I was enthralled with the Marios, gotta admit. I'm not sure was that the first time, or that when the very same brother installed couple of Mario and Worms demos to our computer...
When I changed into a gaming maniac, which I am now, I'm pretty sure that happened when I got my first Final Fantasy...even I gotta admit I was a true fan of Crash Bandicoots when they were a hit :D

My father never understood the beautiful secrets of playing games...but I was(and am) glad that my older brother played with me when we were kids.
Oh, the sweet times spent with Tekken and Worms...
N64. Grew up playing Madden 64, NBA Courtside, Griffey Slugfest, NASCAR 99, and wrestling games. Then moved on to Xbox and still only play sports games.
all the kids in my extended family loved video games, i have 8 male brothers and cousins, being the youngest, i grew up with that, and now i am sitting here with an oldmaster system under my desk, and 2 N64's, wii,nes, snes and game cube, we did have a ps2 when it first came out, but sold it,ch-ching, so yh i love vg's:lol:
When I was 4 years old I moved into a neighborhood and quickly became best friends with the kid next door. Turned out his step-dad was in the mafia and a result they had all sorts of cool stuff in their basement/rec room. Among all the cool stuff down there were 1 pinball machine, and two arcade games; Ms. Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. Those two games pretty much started me down the path of becoming a gamer.
When I was a kid (around 3 or 4), my parents would go to the neighbors house every Saturday night to play Trivial Pursuit. And instead of shelling out for a babysitter, they would sit me in front of the neighbors basement tv with an Intellivision and an Atari and let me play for hours on end until they had to drag me away at the end of the night. I use to look forward to Saturday night so I could play more video games, since I didn't have a console at home of my own. Eventually my mom took me to a local store after school one day and bought me a Sega Mastersystem with Double Dragon, and that's where my addiction took off. The funny thing is that she spent the rest of my life since that day nagging me not to play video games and to get outside. Haha, talk about being the cause to her own problem. As a kid I always had this dream (of sorts) to grow up, get my own place, and be able to buy all the video games I want. Most people would think a person would grow out of this as they get older and more mature, but it's just the opposite. I'm a bigger gamer than ever and that isn't gonna stop anytime soon. Still have that old Mastersystem and it's still kicking.
I don't recalled my age at that time but it was at a pretty young age I assume, but I first started playing Mario Brothers over at my friend house on his NES. I didn't have a clue on what to do but it was pretty fun pressing random buttons at the time and here I am still gaming while going to college at the same time. As to when will I stop gaming the answer to that will still be a mystery for me.
My grandma used to have an old gaming system (spectrum style, something like that) that I used to play a lot. I convinced my parents to get me and my brother a Sega Master System 1 for christmas when I was 7 or 8.

That is exactly what I thought! But here I am, in my own apartment, having something you could call a career, probably soon getting a roommate...and waiting for FF XIII to come out to stores, looking like a lunatic.
I was about 5 or 6, and my older brother asked me if i wanted to try his N64, or I asked him. Now, I'm here discussing video games on a forum. Things have changed so much...
i was like 2 years old when i started gaming. my older brother got the nintendo 64 with street fighter and i played it like crazy. i even used to beat him in the game and i never gave my brothers a chance to play the game.lol
My brother got me into gaming. I was only 5 and I wanted to follow allow and be cool like my older brother so I picked up the controller and just started playing Super Mario Bros.
He also got me into staying up all night playing games. When Resident Evil came out we stayed up until 3 AM playing it....scared out of our minds.
i started my first video game at n64 and i played supermario 64 at first it was a hard game to play at winning powerstars but as soon as i got one powerstar i was happy but to get the other power stars was tricky but i won them.
then i tried my next game banjo-kazooie that game was tricky at first but i won not in the final boss battle against gruntilda.
then as other games were purchased for me i got better at n64 then came nintendo game cube and the big game i won was paper mario the thousand year door.
