While I did have experience with Atari since my uncle had one when I was a kid, I grew up in the Nintendo Age. Got my first Nintendo when I was about 5 or so. Mario is awesome and a lot of fun, but I enjoyed Final Fantasy and Zelda more. I guess I was a sucker for those puzzle and adventure games. My favourite Zelda has to be a tie between the original, Link to the past, and Ocarina of Time. My favourite Final Fantasy though is 9 with 7 and 10 right behind it.
