My uncle brought a TRS-80 Color Computer to grandma's house one Christmas. I was probably six or seven. I spent days there with my cousins playing games which loaded off cassette tapes. There were tons of games (which I understand now were pirated). You had to use the counter on the cassette tape to know where to begin loading the one you wanted. We had a lot of fun with that machine.
My dad bought one soon after and I learned how to program basic and make my own text adventure games. The best game on the system was Dungeons of Daggorath. I remember being actually scared by it.
I really enjoyed that computer, but the joysticks were really crap. I remember my dad being pissed about how much they cost and never working worth a shit.

Fist game I ever played was mario on my mom's old gameboy. This was around 2006. Later that year I got my own gba sp.
Gato, I've been fascinated by submarine simulators ever since. However nothing has ever come close to the thrill of finding the key for changing the mode of propulsion from diesel to electric. I swear I saw an enemy sub once, they never managed to catch me because my crew would commit mass suicide before getting attacked.
I suppose it was 85 or 86, I wasn't in school yet and it was before any experiences with Commodore64. My dad's office, Intel 286 @ 6 MHz, calendars with boobs.
Playing Galaga, Tetris, Dig-Dug, Pole Position, Pac-Man & Wizard of Wor in the arcades with my dad and older brother. Galaga was my first favorite game. This would have been the late 80's.
My first home gaming experience would be Super Mario Bros 1, Zelda and Metroid on the NES. Couldn't tell you which game first, but I really enjoyed them all. I liked how fast Mario played, loved the huge open world of Zelda, and thought Metroid had the best music ever for any game I had played at that point.

Super Monkey Ball 2 on the Gamecube, or specifically, monkey target. For the uninitiated, monkey target makes no sense as a videogame.
It was a rough start.
