How did you lose your gaming virginity?

[Cthulus MailMan]

_shudder Unreal....I was only 6

 

[DRESSMYSELF]

Mutant League Football on the Genesis. Basically the greatest game in human history.

 

[Volafortis]

Warraft 2, I was 4 or 5.

 

[no one really]

Well, seeing as I was born in 1993 and had a gaming dad. (yes, had) My first game was Diablo 2, followed closely by Heroes of Might and Magic 2

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

I lost it to a fat Italian plumber when I was about 3 or 4 years old.

Spoiler: Suddenly...

Hello, Mario. Please have a seat over there.

This, with the exception I was two, yes two years of age when I began my venture into the gaming world. Fairly accurate reason why I am so heavily vested in them today.

 

[no one really]

Well, I did have a nintendo 64 with the classic Mario game, but who didn't?
EDIT: look at the post above, for example.

[Joa_Belgium]

The Smurfs, on my Gameboy.

I was 6. I got pretty much molested by Nintendo around that age.

 

[Blakeyboy90]

Alex Kidd in Miracle World as I recall. Never got very far.
Could practically finish the first level in my sleep the amount of times I've had to redo it.

 

[linkblade91]

Pokemon: Yellow. I was about five/six years old.

That or the classic original Super Mario Bros for the NES (combined with Duck Hunt = bonus!).

 

[Doc Theta Sigma]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2... Man it was good.

 

[The Mick]

Sonic on the Sega when I was 3.

 

[uNeekS]

Sonic, and to this day I still randomly find myself humming the song

 

[yamitami]

Well, I played Magic School Bus games all through growing up but I'm not sure if they count in this context. The first game-game I played was VERY late when I was 14, and it was final Fantasy 9. Someone brought a miniPS1 to one act play practice along with the disk and we played.

 

[Sleekgiant]

Test Drive 5 in all its PS1 glory. Bet no one else has that

 

[TelHybrid]

I masturbated to a picture of a companion cube...

...oh wait that's not what you meant is it?

 

[opie314]

Legend of Zelda: Link to the Past on the SNES when I was just a wee little tike of 2-3

Ahhh...good times

I was 5 or 6, and my mates a few doors down had just gotten a ZX Spectrum. The full 128K model, baby! Although you could still switch back to the original 48K setup if you were playing a game that couldn't cope with the cavernous expanse of the full one hundred and twenty eight kilobytes.

Anyway, the first game I played there was Breakout, followed by Horace Goes Skiing. I wasn't too hot at either.
