I was 3 or 4 years old living in Germany (1978-1979). My parents had an Odyssey 300. It's had Pong, Hockey, and Smash on it. I wonder if they still have it.

Then they bought an Atari 2600 before we moved to the US

Oh man this brings back memories.

 

[DavyH]

followed by Asteroids, Space Invaders, blah blah blah. Consoles came out a fair while afterwards.

Gawd I'm old.

 

[MaKo´s Tethan]

pacman, tetris, and Mario, all in 8 bits.

This.
My parents paid $1.99 or something per hour for me to play those damn games. Now people think $15 per month is a lot to spend

Jesus H!! My parents would have went broke to fund my video game addiction.. i played Mario and Double Dragon for fuckin hours a day, everyday!

 

[All_¥our_Bass]

Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Megadrive, back in about 1992.

Same here. I went to a friend's house and played it, I was instantly hooked. I ended up getting my own later that year.

I will pwn anyone at any of the old school sonic games, this is a verifiable fact.

While I'm sure it wasnt my first starcraft is what initially turned me into a gamer / kid who spends every waking minute playing games.
