Okay, by now we all know that everyone on this site is a very keen gamer, right?
But how did it all begin for you?
When did you first become interested in gaming?
What attracted you to games in the first place?
What was your first console?
What was your favourite ‘retro’ game? And what is your favourite game at this current time?
And finally, why do you still play games to this date? And what console do you prefer now?
(Please, no console wars stuff, please. Its all about individual opinions)
Just to get things started, I’ll let you all know about my ‘Gaming Roots’
I am now 18 years old and I remember the first time I ever played a computer game. I was visiting my Uncle and he had just bought a Spectrum. I was around 5 years old at the time and the first game I played was ‘Batman’. I enjoyed it very much.
So a few days later, my Uncle came over to my house and gave me an offer. “I’ll swap you the Spectrum for your VCR”. Well I agreed, and we traded, it’s the best deal I ever did in my life. I have now been hooked on games for the past 13 years or so and I don’t think I’ll ever tire of them.
As you will have realised, my first console was the Spectrum, and I was attracted to games, just simply because the amount of fun and entertainment they provide you with. My favourite ‘Retro’ game was ‘Rockfall’. It was a Spectrum game where you had to lead a little guy around whilst trying to avoid any rocks landing on the little sods napper.
Sometime the simplest ideas are the best, eh?
But in this present day, my favourite games are certainly the entire ‘GTA Series’. There is just so much fun contained in those 5 little discs that it is unbelievable. I have been playing games all of my life; I have had many consoles over the years. I now have a PS2, GC, X-box and a Dreamcast, because put simply, and honestly, games are my life and I will continue to play games for many more years to come.
Well, that’s my story, so now, how did it all start for you?

Wow i had flashback for the CDI but i can't remember whether it was the sidescrolling one or the one where his head was gonna explode, 2 totally different games around the same time so i get them mixed up.
Well, i played my first game on the MegaDrive when i was being babysitted and was round his house. Later on, i bought his MegaDrive. The best game i have ever played, and my favourite game, is Flash back for the MD. It was a kind of stealth game, similar to MGS, but a hell of alot better.
i got it when the nes came out, along with mario bros 1, those were the days.
and fave game at moment - i have always liked final fantasy ever scince the start. (i had no 1, then the series got messed up)
fave retro game - mario bros 3 or turtles nes game.
