My first memory actually is playing Super Nintendo with my dad. We got Super Mario and my 2 brothers, my dad, and I all played that for many hours with one level or 2 lives per turn. We also got a Terminator 2 game that was awful, hahaha.

My dad was incredibly amped to show me his new Gameboy Pocket. He was showing me Pac-Man and that was the first time I've ever seen a video game. Unfortunately he started to play Jeopardy! afterwards and then tried to convince me how much fun it was to critically think and figure out the answers. He let me play Jeopardy! on the GB, and I...I was 4, I had no idea who to spell the answers. Then my uncle would be like "SNOOPY! THE ANSWER IS SNOOPY!" and I was like "Okay, I know there's an S in there."

that largely depends on what is classified as gaming; if we are to be liberal with this definition id say tamagatchi, but if we want to get more purist then the answer would either be pokemon red or phalanx(i cant rightly remember with one came first)

My family was lent an Atari 2600. My mother, brother and father played pitfall and some pacman style game, I had more fun pulling the connections out at the back, touching them together and making them spark (I was 3).
My first proper gaming experience was when my brother and I were given a Sega Megadrive 2 (Genesis) for christmas with Captain planet. I recently picked up a SM2 with captain planet, but it just doesn't live up to the nostalgia.

I'm probably too late, and unlike everyone else it wasn't a video game. I still remember sitting down with my grandfather and him teaching me how to play chess. Led me into a whole world I didn't know existed. He gave me different opening books and he encouraged me to join the chess club at our school. We still play now and then. Not enough though... not nearly enough. I think I'll give him a call.
