will61 5 years 3 days ago Posts: 117	I was 2 and half when I started playing video games. The first game I ever played was Pac-Man. I remember i was watching my Dad play his usual game of Pac-Man at the local pizza parlor that went out of business 19 years ago, I remember my dad ask me if I wanted to play. I said yes of course because I was interested in that machine with the funny sounds. My dad had to give me a boost because the game machine was taller then me. In conclusion after touching the joystick and eating a few ghosts with an assist from my dad of I was hooked on video games. I have played every console from the 7800 to the x-box 360,

I remember the original Zelda...my friend and I grew bored of it and went outside to play. Ironic, right? Especially since I became such a big LoZ fan when I got a bit older. Hm, also, my family had some type of gaming system thing. It had a keyboard with blue keys. For the life of me, I can't remember what it was. That was about...'88. The game that I played with it...I don't even remember that. I just remember it was loud. Oh yeah, forgot about the computer games we used to play in school: Oregon Trail, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, Number Munchers, Word Munchers. I guess that counts. That was in the late 80s, iirc. First time literally getting into video games, I'd say about nine or ten.

I dunno. 6 or 7. Somewhere in there. The Atari 2600 wasn't that popular yet, so it was probably Pong.

System 5 years 3 days ago Posts: 74809	Probably when I was about 6. Our dad would take us to this one mall and we would always hang out in the arcade and he would get something from the food court. For Christmas that year he bought us an Atari 2600 and that was how I got interested in Video Games. The earliest ones I remember playing were Pole Position, E.T., and Centipede.
