Getting Pokemon Yellow in either '99 or 2000, I forget which one. That set me down the long, miserable path where I find myself today, surrounded by you NERDS.

I'm gonna stick with when I was the first one to start going the extra mile in Pokemon Blue, right back in '96 or so. Everyone else, finished and stopped playing, I actually went for full completion, at the grand old age of 6. I had played Sonic and Mario before, but they had been on friend's consoles, so I never got into them, but then Pokemon. Ah Pokemon.

I would probably be a far more hardcore gamer if you hadn't introduced me to extreme music. Now I'm a metal nerd. >_<
Naw, but anyway. This guy basically turned me into what I am today.
'cept for the furriness.
The first game that i ever loved was MK:Trilogy (PS1) I'd played games before owning a megadrive but never did I play games as continuously or as meticulously. Being only 7 at the time I think I may have just been mesmerized by a cascade of multi-coloured blood.
Ocarina of Time did it to me in 1999 and 2000. The hours I would spend just wandering around, not even doing anything related to the story. Banjo Kazooie also played a role in that as well. Along with Super Mario 64.
When i was 5 and my parents got a PC with Windows 3.1 (or whatever the OS before 95 was). It came with a game called Megarace and it was awesome. A few years later (i was 9) we got a better machine, i was at a friends house and he had Tomb Raider 3 and we both thought that was the best thing ever. My interest in gaming just kept going and it's 16 years later.
My mom and dad were gamers and always had me watch them play games. And then they let me try out Diablo before I was 10. Probably even before I was 8. I was hooked. I played so many games around that time. Warcraft 2 with my dad, Diablo with my mom or dad, the Ultima series.. and that was just on the computer. I was also playing Sonic and Popful Mail on the Sega, along with any game my parent's decided to treat me to on the Gameboy and Gameboy Color.
It was fantastic. My parents are the only ones you could say, "I will do my homework, after this boss." and they'd understand, as they were saying, "I will go to bed, after one more level."

I've pretty much been a gamer all my life, so I can't pinpoint one moment when I made that revelation. It may just have happened while I was too young to remember it. It's long been a running joke in my family that the only reason I learnt to real was so I could play the text adventure games we had at the time.
Probably 1995/6 when I stopped going outside quite so much and decided that I wanted to alternate between my playstation and computer because I could kill, build and own things that were only available in my mind before. Ceasar 3 or Final Fantasy VII were probably the instigators.
