System 4 years 10 months ago Posts: 74809	6-7, in Sweden. I was born in 1982 and it was 1988-1989 or something, as me and a Kindergarten friend were playing video games in his home. We mostly used to play some Super Mario Bros. both Zelda NES gmaes and Metroid. First I played at friends, mostly from Kindergarten and school. In 1991, I also got a NES, and in 1992 also an SENS. One of my favourite games were Super Mario Bros. 3. Almost all children in Sweden attend Kindergarten since the mid 1970's, and since then it has become very rare to employ a live-in housemaid girl or nanny girl, except some rich people of course. It was in 1975 when the Swedish parliament passed a proposal from the Swedish social democratic cabinet to establish Kindergarten for almost everybody even if it's voluntary. Sure some people still use babysitters or pay someone to come clean one day, or some may maybe host an au pair girl, but employing the sterotype live-in young (aged 16-25 or something), low-paid, housemaid girl, nanny girl or childminder girl, who had to wear a uniform like a white blouse, black skirt (or maybe traditionall housemaid dress for some of them), name tag and apron, and also had tie her hair back in a ponytail and curtsy, and is very, very rair, except some rich people, mostly in the Stockholm districts. Most Kindergartens and schools in Sweden are operated by the local governments.

Antti 4 years 10 months ago Posts: 40 Account Disabled	I guess I was maybe 3 or something. Me and my older brother got this brown video/TV game console which had two controllers with tall sticks and the unit itself had these holes in the console that they could be placed in when you don't play. The console was brown the game cartridges had yellow based stickers in them. I can't remember which console it was but it's still in my parents attic. After this I got NES like everybody else.

Same here, I think I was six when we went to my cousin's for Christmas ('88-'89) and he had a new NES with Super Mario Bros. I was blown away, and got one the following Christmas.
