Everyone has that moment they can remember of some of their first gaming experiences, the gateway that kicked off your love of gaming, and led to a life of loitering around the Escapist forums.
I was lucky in that I had older siblings, so my house already had a NES with a fairly extensive library at the time that I gained awareness of such things.
The two games I remember playing very early on was a game called SkyKid, and another called Bubble Bobble. Mostly because these were co-op games, therefor my siblings could carry my still gaming-newb self.
So it got me thinking, what are everyone's first gaming experiences? What games or systems got you in to the hobby? I'm interested to see how that key moment is different for a number of people.
