I was a Nintendo girl. I remember playing Mario with my mom. I remember that duck hunting game too. I never got to play Atari much, but when I did, it was fun. I was always into playing arcade games too, like 'Galaga'.

Now, my husband and I have an Xbox, Xbox 360, PS2, and a Wii. We're pretty big gamers, well, mostly him.:D

sega genesis was my first console when i was real little. i think gamecube really brought out the video gamer in me :)

hmm... i had a sega too but i didnt quite like the games as i thought they lacked creativity and the gameplay of most of the games was quite similar. i liked nintendo better than the sega. i never owned the gamecube but i know there are alot of good games on it. the mario games on the gamecube look simply gorgeous and resident evil 4 rocks! i have RE4 on the ps2 but it was originally releases on the gamecube

When I was around 8, my uncle got us our first nintendo, that got me hooked instantly. And then a few years back, I bought myself a ps2 and really got into hardcore gaming as well. And now there's no going back. I'm planning to get a new gen console really soon as well. Probably the xbox 360.

i liked the nintendo too and the PS and the PS2 really got me going.. now that there are new gen consoles and there arent many good games coming out on the PS2, i am thinking to buy either a 360 or a better graphic card for my computer :)

I gotta say.. PS. Great games.. I got addicted by FF9. Awesome RPG which made me replay it for 4 times. Besides, there are other games like Harvest Moon. PS introduced me to the world of console gaming.

Well, I had Atari and an NES before it, but my addiction started when I got a Super Nintendo with Super Mario World and Mario Paint. Before then, I didn't play video games that much.

The first gaming system I ever played on was also an atari. I wouldn't say that it got me hooked though because I was not allowed to have a gaming console as a kid. My father thought it was too much of a distraction and would turn my mind into mush. As a result, I was stuck only playing video games either on my computer (and we weren't allowed to buy that many games in the first place) or go play the games at friends houses. When I finally got older, I bought myself a playstation 2. that one was just okay, but I had a hard time with it because I didn't have much gaming experience and found all the buttons confusing at times. Now I have both the nintendo wii and their portable ds lite. Finally, I am hooked. I love the Wii for when I have company or just want to play with my boyfriend, and the ds is great for my morning commute or even just lounging around in bed. It's safe to say that I am now finally hooked on gaming thanks to the new nintendo systems.
