    Default How did you come across your first console?

    I'm not interested in what your first console was exactly, though feel free to share. My question is this: did you share a console with one or both of your parents, or did you ask your parents for your first one?

    For me, my dad was (and still is) a gamer. He had an old wood grain 2600 with who knows how many games by the time I was 2 and started playing myself. It was him who started me on my path to being a lifelong gamer.

    Coincidently I repaid the favor several years later when he had long stopped playing video games and I left for a tour of duty in Japan. He inherited my PS1 and a copy of Tomb Raider. He was instantly hooked and has played every single one up to and including Underworld on his very own Xbox 360.

    So that's it. Did you get you inherit your first console from your gamer parent or beg and plead for it from a reluctant parent or something in between?
