    My first game was Super Mario Bros for the NES. As a kid I always had a game system and enjoyed playing games. But I was just a casual player until Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. That game was a fantastic experience, and it drove me to seek out further deep experiences from gaming.

    I now play mostly single player games with RPG elements. Recent favorites have included the Mass Effect series, the Fable series, and the Elder Scrolls series.

    I kinda started playing a few games at the same time. My dad got me Resi Code Veronica X when it was new out so I was 6 years old...good parenting right there...

    But the things that really got me into games were early pokémon games on GB Colour, and Zelda. Link's Awakening was great. ^_^

    Mickey Mouse for Intellivision.

    Then I got a Sega Genesis. Played Sonic 2 and never stopped gaming ever since.

    I wish I was lucky enough to own my own Super Nintendo as a kid, but I would always go over to friend's houses and my cousin's and play theirs. :)

    Man... there were so many great games that captured my mind when I was a kid and teenager. Definitely the Zelda games... that gold cartridge, lol. Metroid... later on, X-Com and the first Civilization game. Oh and the first Sim City. The first Final Fantasy...

    :laugh: The first game I was obsessed with was Super Mario Brothers 2, then Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III: The Manhattan Project, then Ocarina of Time <--- literally months of my life were consumed by OoT.

    Currently it's Skyrim. I just can't get enough of it!

    Bubble Bobble & Chuckie Egg off of a cassette on some kind of green screen Amstrad and various other games of that ilk .
    My first MMO was Disney's Toon Town - I just loved being able to throw pies or drop anvils on the mobs.

    First Game was Super Mario Bros.

    First Game that made me gamer was probably Final Fantasy 1 and then revived hard with Final Fantasy 7 and it snowballed from there.

    Dino Spell on the pc was my first game that I can remember (I was about 5 at the time). My dad had a bunch of CDs that had lots of software including games on them which were fun.

    My parents owned a grocery store when I was 4-5 and they had a Galaga and Ms Pacman in the store...my "babysitter" for an afternoon was giving me 50 cents to play Galaga. I knew how to put in my initials and had all the high scores on the machine. The manager of the company who managed them one day had to come by the store and see who "FUK" (not my real initials) was because it was the highest score he'd ever seen by a long shot...

    My mom pointed at a blond curly head kid rocking superman underoos and said "he is"...

    Other than that I'd say my biggest accomplishments in gaming are on Mike Tyson's punch out. I've knocked down every fighter with a stomach punch (not as easy as it sounds) and TKOed Tyson in round 2.

    The first game that made me a gamer was Super Mario Bro. 3 on the NES. (There were a few games before SMB 3, but it was SMB 3 that made me a gamer at the young age of two.) I still take out and play every now and then to celebrate the good times of past gaming.

    I played games as a kid, but there weren't really any that made me a "gamer" until I started playing Might & Magic VIII. And then came the Sims. I've been a Simmer ever since, as well as an avid (rabid) fan of a few other select titles...

    Dungeons & Dragons on the C64. I fell in love with the PC at a very young, impressionable age :)
