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?

Sega, Star Wars episode 1 Racer! and Sonic: The Hedgehog. I was on the 3rd grade, and my grandpa was visiting us in PR from NY. When I came home from school, he was blocking the TV, he moved and yell: "¡SORPRESA!" and there it was, my first console and games, and that was my very first time playing video games!
