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.
First memory was being in an arcade at age 2 or so and seeing some driving game. Probably pole position or something, it was a long time ago.
First memory actually playing a game.... I went with my dad to a place selling office computers and they let me play some ancient games while they were talking. Monuments on mars I think.

My mother (who was a true old school gamer) really wanted an Atari 2600,which was popular at the time. I had no idea what that even was but we went to the store and she got one.
We got home and she set it up and her and I took turns playing Pitfall. I must've been about 4.

Pac Man on the Atari 2600, 1984. The day we got a Nintendo the month after it came out was an epic moment. Mario Brothers, 1942, Top Gun and Mike Tyson's Punch Out were frustrating but wonderful days.
Forgot about Pitfall around the same time on an ancient computer. Not sure which came first though. I was 5 or 6 at the time.
