I don't remember. It was when Atari was still competing with the NES because I begged my parents for either one I didn't care. I got a system called action max off clearance rack that used light guns and VHS tapes lol. Later my parents bought me a 16mhz 286 PC.

Oh my uncle had a system with plastic overlays you put on screen. It enhanced the dot in the screen I guess.

I think I was 7 when we got our first PC. The first real video games my parents bought me were Fifa 2001, Harry Potter and Escape from Monkey Island 4.

I was probably in 2nd or 3rd grade when I got a 2600, which would have been 1985ish. I remember that I wanted an NES, but asked for the Atari because I couldn't remember which was which from the commercials and was disappointed come Christmas that I asked for the wrong one.

If you mean Vanguard, the Mutual Fund company, then no, that isn't a bad thing. It means you have your priorities straight.

2 or 3 back in the early 90's. NES was the first system I played and Mario Bros. the first game. Or it could have been Duck Hunt...

As far back as I can remember. I used to have a PC in the basement where I'd play old cereal box and Tonka games. I must have been around 3-4 when I started. A friend gave me his old PS1 when I was 5, and I got my first console, an original Xbox, when I was 7.

I remember mastering Defender and a game called Phoenix in the early 80's in the arcades.

I hate to be the person to do this, but gaming topics aren't allowed. However, this would be a better fit over on the games discussion board.
