How did you lose your gaming virginity?

At a guess: Think Quick! [http://www.mobygames.com/game/think-quick] Still, my long-term memory wasn't fully formed at that point, so I can't be sure.

I remember when we got a new computer, and it ran so fast that it was impossible to play "Think Quick!" anymore. I was crushed.

I can't remember to well (To many self induced blows to the head and constant lack of sleep), but I think it was either Star Wars:Rougue Squadron (I sat on my dads lap and held down the fire key for him) or it was some robot fighting game. Robot Rising, I think? I just liked it because the robots were shiny

Possibly Fifa 97 or something for the Sega Saturn, however the one I remember most is Sega Saturn's ALIEN TRILOGY. It was FANTASTIC.

 

[Scrythe]

I don't even remember. I've been gaming since long before I could read. The earliest games I remember playing was that bundle containing Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, and World Class Track Meet.

I also remember my father kicking my ass in Street Fighter II. Good times.

 

[Slaanax]

Some golf game on the commodore 64 =D. It was probably before that too, but that was the first game I remember playing.

Joe n' Mac on the Super Nintendo. I was around 8 or 9.

First game I ever played. Was at a friend-of-the-family's house, and my lord, I was in awe. Kept shouting to everyone in earshot, "I GOT THE SIDEWINDER!" Good times.
