What Was Your First Gaming Experience?

Posted by Zonk on Tuesday January 15, 2008 @05:46AM from the oh-christmas-mario dept.

Stephen Totilo, at the MTV Multiplayer blog, recently put up a piece that asked a number of notable games industry folks all about their first time gaming. Several had some unique answers, with Peter Molyneux (Black and White, Fable) probably taking the cake: "It would have to be the original Pong. I can clearly remember seeing it in a shop window on Guildford High Street and being utterly transfixed - I had never wanted anything so much - in fact I stole money from my grandmother's purse to buy it. I got it home, took it apart, and never got it to work again - but from that moment on I was hooked on all things to do with computer games." What was your first experience with gaming? d20s on a kitchen table? A Nintendo Entertainment System under the Christmas tree?

What about gay aliens? Do you know that people in large metropolitan cities, like Des Moines, Iowa, are building landing strips for gay aliens?
