It's hard to say. I probably started with Ernie's Big Splash or Broderbund Playroom or Gertude's Secrets or OG Reader Rabbit.

It's funny, Roberta Williams is a towering figure in video game history, but was often described as a cripplingly shy woman. But that didn't hold her back from modeling for box art, including in a hot tub for a porn game.

First game I remember ever seeing was WWF on my cousin's ZX spectrum +2. The first game I played on a PC was 4D Boxing & the first console I owned was a Master System II with built in Alex the Kidd. Would have been around 1991 probably.

My earliest memory is when I was like 4 or 5 playing Mario Paint on my families SNES. This was back in the early to mid 90's. I remember getting upset with my mom because she would skip the intro cut scene. She didn't know it but there was an Easter Egg in the intro that let you goof around with the title letters and I was too young to properly explain it. She'd be confused because from her perspective; I asked to play a game, she turned it on for me, I'd be super excited and then I got sad.

Early 90's. Dad gave me his old Sega Master System 2 and a bunch of games.

I would have been 3 or 4, I think.
