There are bound to be many interesting stories of how people got into gaming, let’s share some of them! Maybe it will inspire some people to start gaming and discover the magic behind the pixels, or maybe we’ll just have some fun with the nostalgia ;)
My story
One day while i was like 8-9 yo ( so 20 years ago :P ) my dad brought home a friend of his who happened to own a pc.
Back then pc's were rarer than they are now so we were quite impressed.Along with the pc he brought a floppy disk with pac-man and BOOM thats how i got my first experience with gaming.
After that it was a one way trip to more complex games.
Red alert,warcraft (rts),dota (later),age of empires,syberia and many more but finally i stumbled on WoW which gave me many new friend and countless hours of fun alongside with dota and lol.

For me it was the classic 'Donkey Kong'! awesome game
Damn @nzfxtrader...i thought i was too old just cause i had a game boy classic and a snes xD
I started gaming when I was 6 years old and had asked my parents to buy me a cereal box with a game on it. The moment I got it I put the dick into an old laptop that we had lying around and played the game for like 3 hours. After that, I wouldn't stop looking for more games on cereal boxes. It was an old soccer game, I can't really remember what game exactly though. That's my story :D
I started playing since I was 2 years old. It all started with the original Crash Bandicoot. Since then, I've stuck with the Sony games until Smash Bros came out. Then it was all about trying to play the NES games. Now, I'm more focus on Smash Bros and a MOBA game called Paragon. It's hard to believe that I've been playing video games for 22 years.
