Intellivision. Games started coming with their own custom slide-in front for the controller.

Sitting down and watching my dad play Might and Magic VI: Mandate of Heaven when I was 6 or 7. Then one day he sat me down and helped me make a party and taught me how to play!

The earliest I can recall is Donald Duck Quack Attack (AKA Goin' Quackers)
Another game would be Super Mario World at my grandma's house.
I should hook up that SNES again sometime...

When I was about 5 my brother was visiting and brought Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, NHL games, and a few racing games and let me play. Also, Mario Kart with cousins.

My older cousin and I playing paper boy on the NES, which ultimately lead to playing Mike Tyson's Punch Out. We would always see who could get farther in that game, and I remember we both got stuck at Soda Popinski. Im pretty sure the feeling I got when I got past Popinski before my cousin did is what go me hooked on gaming. I can still remember the look on his fat face when I got it.
