What actually got you into gaming?

my mom lol my 2 friends i played with all the time when i was younger moved to michigan and i got real bored so my mom got me a SNES

When I got my N64 with super mario 64

We had a SNES back in the time but what realy hooked me was Diablo. My father bought me and my brother(I was 8,he was 10) a mature game but I have not yet killed anybody

StarCraft.

The SNES in 93. I already had been playing in my uncle's Atari 2600 since 90 and played some arcade too, but I was casual.

We got an Atari 2600 when I was about 4 and games like Frogger, Breakout, Pitfall and Jungle Hunt initiated me into the gaming world.

When I was a little girl, I would often visit my cousin and beg him and his friends to play. And as usual, they slap me upside the head and tell me to get out--I'd run crying to my mommy about it. Until one day, my mommy brought these home from a garage sale--

To say the least, I have been gaming every since then.

Super Mario World.OreoMilkshake

For me it was playing Defender of the Crown on our Amiga 2000. SNES level graphics back in the late 80s. Good times.

i played casually on the NES granted i was like 5yo when i got it and playing mk 1 and street fighter 2 really got me into gaming then snes came! it was heaven...

Playing Pitfall on my brothers Atari 2600, then my mum and dad bless them made one of the choices ever, they got me a NES with was bundeled with Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt and a few other games which included Mega Man 2 and that was it, that would have been 20 years ago this Christmas!

Playing super mario bros at the display in kmart when I was 7.

I was into games a lot when since I was very young.. NES and Snes were a big part of my childhood, then ps1 and n64 gen Iplayed a lot too but I started playing football so I kinda stopped for a while, I got a ps2 and a gamecube but i really didnt played them much, only got certain titles (i ddint played god of war until the psp version).. Then in college I gotthis nasty knee injury tryin' to cut block a fella and really got time to get into my recently bought xbox 360 and since then I gradually started playing more and more until I could proudly call myself a gamer again...

My fathers ZX Spectrum 128k back in 87.

Doom II. The first time I gunned down an imp I knew this was the hobby for me.

Super Mario Bros on NES.

MoH: vanguard is what got me into shooters, witch now is my favorite gaming genre

Crash Bandicoot 2 I think.

Chuck norris!!

Because he borned - bundle with a joystick and Street Fighter 2.

i started with pacman and played casually until i played supermario 64,then i started geetin more and more into gaming until today =D

The first time I ever played a games console was my parents NES when I was very young, and it all went from there.

Both my mum and my dad were both addicted to Super Mario Bros. at the time, actually. :P

I started on the SNES but when I played Goldeneye at my friends house I think that started something big.

my parents buying me a NES when i was 3, and then them not wanting to support many other hobbies which i was interested in.

In 85 or 86 we got a NES for Christmas for the "family". We did have an Atari before that, but I never really played it. I think I was in 2nd grade when we got the NES. It was over from there.

When I went to my cousins, I got to play Duck Hunt with the big red pistol:)

Been gaming ever since.
