earliest memory was when my dad got me this cookie monster game for the atari -- I think it was on the Atari. All I know is I remember that joystick and that giant red ball... -_-

Dad brought home Pong when it came out, then Intellivision, NES, and I've bought every system since (gave up on Nintendo a few years back).

Maybe 3ish? I started with my dad's intellivision and my cousins' NES and played with those for a few years until I got my Genesis at around age 7.

Since I don't know... Probably when I was like 6, or something... Sega Genesis was my first console, and in the '90s we also got the N64 and PS1 - but I don't think it was until I got my Gamecube last generation that I considered myself much of a gamer at all.

The first physical game I can remember playing was the duckhunt/mario bros dual game cartridge, at three or so. But I know before that, I was playing my friend's brother's video games at daycare (he would have been six or seven at the time, and I was probably 2-3). I think he had a sega.
