Where did it all start for you? How did you get into this..."video game" thing, anyway?
-What was your first console?
-First big console game?
-What about the first game you yourself actually BOUGHT? With your own money?
-Did you prefer platforms, fighters, RPG's, racers...
-Anything I forgot? I want to know about it!
I don't want a list or anything, unless you wanna answer all those questions. Just tell me...
How did it all start for YOU?
________________________________________
The first console we had was a Sega, but I don't remember it. We had that Aladdin game, I guess...
My step-dad came into my life toting an NES with games like Monopoly, The Legend of Zelda, Super Mario Bros, and Paperboy. He even had a PSOne with the first Spyro game, Croc, Tomb Raider, and Legacy of Kane: Soul Reaver. I was 5.
I didn't play console games because I was afraid to be criticized by the people watching, so I played my sister's Pokémon Yellow Version instead. I was given my very first game, Pokémon Silver Version during my 6th Christmas (to play on my clear purple GameBoy Color), and around that time, I started playing Spyro. I got over my fear of being watched and genuinely enjoyed playing in front of the others. Out of my sister, step-dad, and me; I was the first to defeat Gnasty Gnorc, the insurmountable final boss (in my mind).
I remember buying Kirby's Nightmare in Dreamland for my GameBoy Advance. It was a whopping $34.99, but I borrowed it from my friend enough to know that I wanted it. First video game purchase, and I STILL play that game.
I always preferred platforms in the beginning. Simple, easy to grasp; like Spyro and Croc. After a while I played fighting games like War of the Monsters for PS2, and the usual easy RPG's that were similar to my Pokémon games.
Nowadays I'll play anything. Old stuff, new stuff, retro stuff...I'm all for it. And Kingdom Hearts isn't the only game I will ever play a dozen more times! ;D
