I actually don't remember the first game I've ever played. I just have a vivid memory of my brother playing Mortal Kombat on the Sega Genesis and I used to watch him play that as well as Sonic The Hedgehog 1 and 2. I didn't get my own console until I was about 8 or 9, and I got an N64. The first game I've ever owned was Bomberman Hero.
I got into gaming by just watching my brother play. During that time, I was into sports, so I wouldn't play often. I'd go out and roller skate or ride my scooter. Or play with dolls. Buuut videogames soon took over my life, haha.
