I just had a thought (rare as it is) does pinball count as gaming ?

Because then it would be early 70's...

'96 (I was 5 going on 6) and my first game was some Super Mario game for SNES. Then I really got into gaming around '97 when I got Playsation and eventually N64. 10 years later not much has changed. Playstation is still my primary console and a Nintendo console is my secondary.

1986, Atari 2600 + Enduro + River Raid. That's how I became a fanatic of racing games (not simulators) and shooters.

I started playing video games back in '96 when I was six years old. The first games that my parents bought for me were the original Tomb Raider and Star Wars: Dark Forces. Both are still some of my favorite games to this day. Good times.

It was probably 1985 (3 years old). Space Invaders for the 2600. My parents Atari though. 1987(5 years old) got an NES and truly started gaming with Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, RC Pro AM and Zelda.

Late 70's. My parents never bought a console back then, but I played with friends. Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, NES. TG16 was the 1st console I bought myself, and the rest is history.
