We had a NES and later got a Gameboy, and I naturally found them and decided to play with them.
I don't know where the NES went, but we still have the Gameboy to this date. It's a bit old now (B&W still) but the nostalgia... ____________________ Originally posted by HotSoup |

| My sister and my father, although they were pretty casual. My sister allowed me to play Donkey Kong on the old Coleco Vision when I was very young, and playing some things with my father on the NES is what got me into gaming overall.
Ended up being obsessed with Nintendo, and the game I was initially most afraid of as a kid (Super Metroid) became my all-time favorite. Unfortunately, I don't play even a quarter of the amount of games as I used to, nor do I bother with total completion or challenges. Sort of wish I still had that kind of interest. |

| My elder brother owned both a NES and a SNES even back before I was born, so he naturally taught me his ways as soon as I could correctly hold a controller.
Of course, it was my parents who gave him his gaming systems, so one could say that it's their fault; however, you could continue tracking back ad infinitum, so I would really give my brother the credit. |

| My parents got my oldest brother an Atari way long time ago, probably to keep his entertained. When I came along, I just rooted around in my brother's stuff and stole their games. My parents eventually bought me my own classic Gameboy to keep me off of theirs, and I got hooked. |

| Hmm...is saying that I don't remember NOT having video games an option? Even when I was four back then (1995) there was still an SNES to play on. Maybe an NES as well, but I can't remember that part.
If I have to make a guess though, I'm going to say that my brother probably asked for the system in the first place and I just followed suit. Or maybe it's my dad who indirectly owns the NES that we have(but it's in the closet). O hey, did I mention a Commodore 64? He has one of those. In storage. (I think that if we ever got all of the old crap (that belongs to my mom) out of his room he would feel like setting it back up, but that's a guess.) But for now, he's content playing handheld Yahtzee and Poker on the computer since his eyesight has gone down. ____________________ -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Posts = &numposts& Age = &numdays& Lv &level& Exp &exp& / &lvlexp& LvExp &expdone& / &lvllen& (&exppct&%) PostExp = &expgain& ExpTime = &expgaintime&  |

I've been a gamer since I was 3 when I first played Super Mario Brothers. My parents are both gamers and had an NES/SNES. We used to take turns playing Super Mario Brothers 3 (among other games) and we'd all curse that goddamned fish from world 3 together.
My mom isn't as much of a gamer as she used to be--the last game I remember her really playing seriously was Ocarina of Time. Nowadays, she just mainly plays random casual games and stuff on Facebook. My dad still plays non-casual games from time to time, though. I got him to play Symphony of the Night the other night but I don't think he really cared for it. He likes the Mother series. ____________________ |

Occasionally I lost privileges as a punishment though. I remember one time when I couldn't play video games myself, but I could still help my mom through Myst 
Nowadays for her it's either that or Clubhouse Games... both of which she is not very skilled at. Sad, considering she used to be able to beat me silly at TA...
