I find it so interesting how strong of friendships and communal bonds can be made from playing games with friends and strangers alike. I was wondering where everyone's origins came from in terms of gaming. For me, my first game was Altered Beast on the Sega Master system. My dad picked this up for me in the 80s when I was only 4. We kicked ass together and it was pretty graphic for a 4 year old to play. Punching and kicking zombies and beasts that exploded into pieces lol It was rereleased on the Sega Genesis (which I still own). It's still a lot of fun to play today too.
So what is everyone's story here?

First ever video game experience was Super Mario Bros on the NES around 1989. I know, I'm so original. I received an SNES plus Super Mario World bundle for my birthday a few years later and a Game Boy and a Game Gear not long after that. I've had a version of just about every Nintendo system since then with the only exceptions being the Virtual Boy and the Game Boy Color.
