That's an awesome first memory.
While I don't fully remember it, I apparently always tried to play my Dad's copy of Space Harrier when he was playing. So 4th Christmas, they got me a Super Nintendo. It came with Super Mario World, of course, but the other earliest games I remember we're Mega Man X and The Lion King. Those games formed my gaming foundation, and I was hooked. Especially with SMW and MMX. Been a gamer ever since.
Shout out to video games being the reason I learned how to read(aka my parents got sick of reading things for me).
