You don't say? Mine started with a Pokemon game too. T'was pokemon yellow and is probably the main reason of my rapidly deteriorating eyesight, but there you go.supermole said:
I got hooked on the junk when i was 5....i would NOT touch the controller but i relentlessly forced my mom to play Tomb Raider 2 while i sat and watched/helped. 11 years later i can beat a tomb raider in a heartbeat, and i hog the controller like it's a life support system....ah to grow up is nice 
Now I love you, both those games are masterpieces and yes I remember that STUPID jump in Rayman. Cyber high-five!supermole said:
This thread is much better than all the threads saying how some game isn't as good as people think it is or asking people to list which games suck in some way or other.
This is a better thread than most on this forum.
Also on topic, I've just realized playing for high scores after beating the game can be fun for me. It just took the right games (most games are not really designed to be fun to play for score) and the appropriate level of player skill compared to the game's difficulty (or vice versa). This after 15+ years of gaming and not caring about score.

So, you made a thread to tell us how much you love gaming, without actually calling for a response or discussion. What's the point?
Ah, gaming has been quite the majority of my life. It's both the salvation and bane of my mother's existence as well as the source of the leak in my wallet. But well worth it.
It's what made me meet most of my friends and is a sort of dream job in the back of my mind that the front knows damn well would never happen whether it be designing, creating, or playing them for a living. Alas.
I first got into gaming with Super Mario Bros. where, as a 6 year old, I could not get past level 8-3 (and neither could my father). It later had a spectacular rebirth when my cousin introduced me to Pokemon Yellow where it evolved into the clusterfuck it's become today. I now own a Wii, 2 N64s, a Playstation 2, a Gamecube, and a well used SNES that sits alongside my old original Nintendo. But these are only my televison consoles. I also own a GBC, two GBAs, an SP, a DS Lite, and a DSi.
Lord knows the thousands of dollars in games I have spent.
But again, all very well worth it.
