I grew up with the SNES. I had SMW, Yoshi's Island, some Batman game, and Super Metroid.

I watched the Pokemon anime when I was younger. Then I saw a videogame magazine with Pikachu on it and asked for a Nintendo 64 with Pokemon Snap for Christmas. Something like that.
UltraMario
Donkey Kong
My brother, Joshua taught me how to play my first videogame, Super Smash Bros. Melee, when I was like 3-4. I then started playing various GameCube and Game Boy Advance games, which got me instantly hooked. Also, video games also taught me how to read as well.
We visited my cousin, who had an original gameboy. He was playing pokemon Red. I thought it looked really cool, but he wouldnt let me play it, so I just watched him. I confused the Vulpix sprite with a goat (remember, this was pokemon Red, not pokemon FireRed. The sprites were very basic.) And I thought it looked really cool.
Apparently I was glued to it the entire visit, so that Christmas, my mom went everywhere to find a gameboy color. They were sold out everywhere so we had to go to every store. Eventually we ended up at a JCPennys, and the last one they had was a Tommy Hilfiger gameboy color, so we got that.
That was the first time I'd ever gotten my present ahead of time, but I wasnt allowed to open it. They wrapped it up on christmas, and I got it, along with Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue.
That was my first game video game ever. Best Christmas ever.
Edit.
It was a long time ago. So I cant remember all the details.

My sisters owned a Sega Master System before I was born, so I started playing that at the age of three. I got my own GameBoy at four, and have been a devoted gamer ever since.

One word: The Gameboy Advance.
I got Super Mario Advance as my first mario game and have loved it since. Too bad I don't have it anymore though.
Also, the PS1 was my first console system.

Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly!
I don't remember much, it might have to do with one of the Game Boys, but whatever happened, IT CHANGED MY LIFE!

My brother got a GBA for his birthday when I was about 3, and then we probably got some more games later on. I don't remember much from when I was 3.
