How did you lose your gaming virginity?

[Blizzarded Soul]

I was a very late bloomer, for me it was Croc on the PS1. I can't for the life of me remember how old I was. Then I was given a Gameboy Pocket and it all lifted off from there.

well i don't know if this really counts but when i was 3 or 4 we had Final Fantasy on the Nintendo and my dad would give me the second player controller and sit behind me with the main one and play, and i'd just jam random buttons thinking i was playing...

Ocarina of Time when I was 3. And it felt so good...

I remember my first time like it was yesterday. Super Mario Bros., on the NES. My dad had rented a NES with SMB one saturday morning in the summer of '89. Not long afterwards he bought the console and we haven't looked back since.

My first memory was of Ocarina of Time. I was five, and the nanny brought over her N64 for us to try. She was the best ^^

 

[Junkle]

Ocarina of Time as well. Holy cow, that game was awesome.

Then Mario Kart 64 came along and cemented my eternal love.

It might have been round 42 or paratrooper on an ancient computer. I mean ancient


That or it was to Mario on the NES or grabbing the joystick and playing Mechwarrior 2: Mercenaries when I was 6.

I think it had something to do with my neighbour's '64 and mario kart, possibly goldeneye too, I can't remember.
