Probably playing Bricks (you know, with the paddles) on an ancient Apple Macintosh at my mum's workplace when I was very very young. I would sit and play for hours. The first system I played in my own house was the original NES. My sister bought Mario Brothers and I bought Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the game that would be my first source of video game rage. The poor NES controller took a battering.
But most gaming memories come from the first PC games I played, on a 486. Packaged with the system were some greats (great to me anyway). The King's Quest series, the Gobliiins games, a number of enthralling adventure/puzzle titles I forget the names of.
But I was still a 'casual' gamer, playing for simple entertainment, up until the year 2000 when I loaded up Deus Ex. That turned me hardcore and showed me what games are capable of. And made me so unsatisfied with the kinds of games I'd enjoyed up to that point.
