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?

The first game and system I fully owned myself was a gameboy color, and Pokemon red and blue (gifts when I was 8, parents didn't get the whole; same game/trade things over deal) But my dad made sure I played games from every era (even the intellivision) Unfortunately I don't remember the first game I ever played... I'm thinking either millipede on the Atari or pinball on the virtual boy
