What Brought you into Gaming?

[Santuary of Sinz]

As someone who has grown up in a family with Gamers, My very first experience with gaming was a Gameboy Color

I remember my first game being Megaman X-Treme. IT sent me down the Rabbit Hole

What about everyone here? What started their intrigue of gaming?

The first video game I ever played was Spyro: Year Of the Dragon (got the remake of the trilogy that was released a few years back). The second was Jak & Daxter: The Precursor Legacy.

When I was a little baby, my 11 year old big sister got 8bit Nintendo as a Christmas present. I was so young that I don't remember it, but essentially I grew up in environment where playing console games was the typical spare time activity.

First game I remember playing myself was megaman 2. Saving games was not possible back then, but that game had a "code" it gave you after clearing stages that you could input next time you started up the console.
I had papers filled with these codes around the house and it always felt like a huge triumph to finally clear one more stage. The game only has like 11 stages but I never managed to finish the game, but I was like 3-4 year old.
