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?

Atari 2600 with some fairly sh*tty games...the best thing about that system??? My dad found someone to trade his NES for our 2600....funny thing is I remember the guy stating that Atari was the future of gaming - I really hope he didn't invest in the stock market. I remember playing Mario with my dad on the NES for hours after that trade.
