Big question there. I got into gaming after playing Pokemon Red on the Gameboy Color and Spyro 3 on the original Playstation. But it Pokemon Red stolen so I never finished it. X_X

Oh, and this isn't necessarily the first video game you played. Because for example, Gran Turismo -was probably the first one I played before I got Pokemon Red- was a great game, it didn't give me the spark I needed to become a gamer unlike Pokemon Red and Spyro 3 did.

My dad got a N 64 for Christmas and got Mario Party and Namco Arcade for it. We used to play Mario Party every day, and I got hooked on it. When my parents got divorced when I was 5, my dad gave it to me as a sort of rite of passage. I still have the same N 64 and it still works form 10 years ago :3.

Yes, evil comes in many forms, whether it be a man-eating cow or Joseph Stalin, but you can't let the package hide the pudding! Evil is just plain bad! You don't cotton to it. You gotta smack it in the nose with the rolled-up newspaper of goodness! Bad dog! Bad dog!

And, isn't sanity really just a one-trick pony anyway? I mean all you get is one trick, rational thinking, but when you're good and crazy, oooh, oooh, oooh, the sky is the limit!

Announcer: So tick... do you think you could destroy the earth?
Tick: E gads! I hope not! That's where I keep all my stuff!

"Pwangg?" Trees don't go "Pwangg--" Llamas don't go "Pwangg--" Nothing found in nature goes "Pwangg", which means -- we're officially hip deep in the smelly stuff.

You know what? &@#$ tacos. And waiting. Damn you, Bullseye...damn you for making me hurt the ones I love. This time, it's personal. This time...it's for the tacos.

You should talk. Your costume's so tight you can tell what religion you are. Ever hear of a cup?

AAAAAAAAGHHH!! Packing chips! That's the greatest weapon on the face of the planet -- styrofoam packing chips! Just imagine getting nailed by some of these babies! Oh the humanity!

Dude, I had to hack that off to save you from zombie germs. You should totally put me on your Christmas card list.

If you're not Black Cat, then I'm done. But first -- The Olsen Twins: Good? Evil? Or part of the elaborate C.I.A. plot?

Pardoneth me, fair lady, but dost thou have any Grey Poupon?

Pokemon. And I'm betting a lot of people started being gamers because of Pokemon. Even though Pokemon Yellow was so... hard... (Brock you're horrible!!!)

My parents bought my brother and I a Sega Genesis when we were 5-6 years old. We used to play it not that often (I still remember the one game I adored from it), but it kept breaking down. After the 3rd time it broke, they got my brother and I Gameboy Pockets with Pokemon Red and Blue, respectively.

The Legend of Zelda: A link to the Past.

I had the first game for a long time, but this is the first video game I had ever beaten, which made it so meaningful to me.

my dad had an NES since before i wasw born, and when i was 3 years old he let me play it for the first time (super mario Bros 3)
at first i wasnt all that into it, but around the time i turned 4 (and managed to get past the first world) i became almost addicted to it, playing Zelda, Mario, Wario, Final Fantasy 1, Star Tropics, (Etc.)
never stopped playin gamez since lolz
(also Aether, Brock isnt that hard if u have a Butterfree {learnts Confusion at lvl 10} or a Nidoran {eas Double Kick at lvl 12/13 or so}) (took me a while to figure this out though XD)
