How did you start gaming?

I remember I started gaming when I was just about 3 or 4. Old enough to have the dextirty to hold the controller. My first game was Twisted Metal which I think is kind of funny since I was so young but I digress. That game was about the only game I played when I was a kid and I could only play it when we went two states over to my cousins house and the first thing I did when I got there was ask to play the playstation. There was also the N64 at my babysitters house that had Goldeneye which was also a bad ass game.

I remeber though when my mom came home with a white box with a bunch of writing all over it when I was six. She told me to open it and inside was a Sega Dreamcast. I loved that thing so much it was insane but it got lost in a move which makes me sad.

My grandfather let me play Lemmings on his computer when I was 4. I ended up beating that game.

My father played a lot of arcade games, and got me into them.
He bought an Atari 2600, and played with me quite often.

I think the first game I played was Golden Axe on my dad's computer when I was like 5 or 6

I started gaming in the arcades because it was the "new thing" at that time. My first console was pong and my second was Atari 2600. Talk about dating yourself

When I was 4 my uncle got me an old Tulip PC that I used to play games like Tetris, Test Drive and Captain Comic. When I was 6 or 7 I stopped playing games for a while and only started again when I was 13 and finally got a decent PC again.
