This is one of my first memories in general as well as my first game related one. Way back in the 80's my father was a young man in his early 20s. He was all about some NES. We had the Mario/Duck Hunt cart that came with the system. I tried it. Was not emotionally mature enough for Mario. I cried inconsolably and let the timer run out while Mario chilled at the beginning of the level. Goombas were scary and would kill me. Apparently I took video game death very seriously. Dad found this hysterical. He laughed right in my little kid face.

I've laughed at my daughter through the years for many of the odd things video games threw at her.
The first memory I have ever seeing a game was watching my older brother play The Illusion of Gaia on SNES. He would rage so so hard in the Mayan temple level. I tried playing but I really didn't understand anything as I was probably 6 or 7. I still own the game tho and I love it!
I also remember the day he brought home Asheron's Call for PC. This was the first MMO I was exposed to and entire reason I love the MMORPG genre so much. I remember we used some database app that had a list of all the spells and potions and all of their reagents. We printed the entire thing off in a bound booklet so we could access the content easier haha. I miss AC!

Yoshi's Story I remember loving how they used alternative graphics, and since then I have been in love with pretty much any game that looks "different." (My favorite games are Okami and Windwaker xD)

Mine was watching my mom playing The Even More Incredible Machine on our old computer. I think she got it for free when she bought the computer and she was always playing that game and I loved it too. The visuals and the music were always so appealing to me. Still play it to this day and I've been playing it for as long as I can remember. I wish they made more games like that today. Definitely showing my kids this game when they come of age, it just promoted thinking outside the box and creativity.
