My mom took it upon herself to buy computer games for my brother and I when we were young and that served as our introduction to the vidya.

My dad handed me his Gameboy with a copy of James Bond 007 and Ms. Pac-Man.
Then I played goddamn Pokemon Snap for the N64. apparently(my mother told me this): I didn't want to go back to pre-school because they didn't teach me to read on the first day, I wanted to know the scores in snap without my mom reading them to me because "I thought she was lying". I learned to read because of Pokemon Snap :U
