Gaming started when I was allowed to play my older brothers Atari 2600 when I was 4 or 5 years old. Pitfall II for the Atari 5200 was the first game I ever conquered thus starting my affinity for adventure games. Then came the Nintendo with Super Mario Brothers and Mike Tyson's Punch Out and Sega Master system with 2player co-op Double Dragon and Castle of Illusions that my cousin and I would spend endless days on at my grandparents house. Then I got a Sega Genesis with Altered Beast and Sonic the Hedgehog and my cousin got a Super Nintendo Super Mario World and Super Mario Cart. Then came the Sega Saturn which bit the dust in like 2 years. Then I got a Dreamcast with NFL 2K, Sonic Adventure and my all time favorite unappreciated Shenmue. Then the Dreamcast bit the dust and in choosing between the massive game collection of the PS2 and the more powerful non memory card needing and Shenmue 2 having Xbox the PS2 won because of GTA III. Then came the Super, powerful, few game having PS3 which brings us to present day.
