Who introduced you to gaming?

[olee12343]

My uncle introduced me to the PS1 when I was a wee little lad, and my first game was Mathblaster. I, personally, thought it was a really good game.

 

[GestaltEsper]

My older brother. Although it was more like he shoved gaming into my face.

 

[Aura Guardian]

My papi. My dad and I would play NES forever!

 

[FROGGEman2]

My mother.

She bought me "kiddy games" for the computer...

...then they slowly evolved...

 

[amrl]

My brother did. I always looked up to him when he was playing games.

 

[Silver Scribbler]

My older brother. Used to watch him play games all the time.

First one I played was either a sonic game on the Sega Megadrive, or that Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck game where they fall into that magical chest? Can't remember what it was called.

 

[Flos]

Oh! What an interesting twist o- Wait... wait...

and what was your 1st game?

I KNOW THIS THREAD.

...Anyway. Dad and the original Diablo. Never did get beyond the Butcher.

 

[shwnbob]

My older brother

 

[Contun]

When I was about 3 or 4, my older brother let me and my younger brother play his NES. The first game was probably Super Mario Bros.

Though technically we were only button smashing...

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

My Dad. I think I owe him big-time for that one.

 

[War Penguin]

A kid downstairs that was 6 years older than me. Pretty cool guy. Must've had a high tolerance if he let some 6 year old play his games. First game? I have no clue.

 

[AvsJoe]

My mom bought me my first NES when I was 3 years old.

EDIT: First game? Either Duck Hunt, Mario Bros., or TMNT. I don't know which one.

 

[Serenegoose]

my parents got me an amiga with some rudimentary 'games'. from there, got a megadrive. my uncle introduced me to pc games, which has been my preferred format since. first game? uh... 'budgie' or something. was a platformer.

 

[Mortal Wombat]

Nice answers guys!

 

[siffty]

my mum and dad with a psX

 

[sms_117b]

Grandad played me at pong, then introduced me to a few BBC and Spectrum ZX games. Many, many years ago.

 

[SovietSecrets]

My brother if anything. He is the one who told my dad to get Need for Speed for PC.

 

[IamQ]

I think it was actually school. When I was 5, I saw a demo of Croc 2 on the school computer and I enjoyed it alot.

 

[Emilin_Rose]

My mom. I used to watch her play Sonic the Hedgehog as a kid and i gain my love of games from that.
