What got you into gaming?

Or as I like to call it, "The Pre-Crap Era."

Initiall..when I was a little kid..I used to play those OLD OLD, floppy disk PC games on my uncles old laptop from time to time and watched them play some sort of plastic box(which was the NES) whenever I went to my cousins house, also saw some other older kids i knew play on the sega megadrive(gensis)...this was all between 1994-end of 1996...then later I observed them(every kid I knew) playing on some sort of other plastic box (playstation 1) all through 1997..and at the end of 1997 my parents got me a PS1 for my 7th bday..and from then on...i was addicted..absolutely addicted to the PS franchise.

I also played PC ONLY for certain big RTS games and Quake 2/3 up until 2006...

I remember that! Wow

well, I'm a little older so it was trying to decide whether I would get the ColecoVision that had better graphics for the Atari 2600 that was more popular. In the end I went with the Atari. In many ways, oddly enough, this very same situation seems to be happening today too.

I remember dealing with this when the NES and Sega came out. Sega typically had some better graphics but, obviously, the NES won out.

Admittedly, I got out of gaming for a long time but when the Wii came out I got one and then followed up with a PS2 to catch up on so many games that I missed. i still don't have a PS3 or 360 yet becuase I work in Korea and I'm still playing SO many things on my PS2. This Summer, however, I'll get one or the other but haven't decided just yet. ???

Umm, one of my oldest siblings bought a Odyssey as a Christmas gift for the family and since my hand / eye dexterity along with Cat like reflexes was second to none at that time :P me likey VG.
