I have faint memories of my older borther getting our very first computer: a gameboy. When he let my have a try at super mario land, I walked straight into a goomba without jumping. years later I destroyed it with orange soda. (The gameboy, not the goomba)
The first platform of my own was the super NES, with donkey kong country. Before that, I would have to go to my friends all the time to play with their NES, or borrow my other brother's gameboy.
