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

It was Road Rash on the SEGA Genesis at a BEST store. It was on display and I was just a kid... so young I don't really remember any of it other than the fact that it happened.
My parents "lost" me while we were shopping (I probably just wandered away like children do) and they found me playing the SEGA. The next Christmas, my father bought me both a SEGA and Road Rash. I remember spending almost all of my childhood (nearly all of the fond memories that I can remember) playing this with him... this and Ms Pacman.

Alex Kidd in Miracle World on the Master System.
I played that game for hours on end before my parents got me a Game Boy.

Same for me.
I got my uncle's master system, and an old tv (that had been left in a cupboard by the people who lived in the house before my mum and dad moved in) for my 6th birthday in '92
