I don't know when I started playing... I don't remember. My brother (33 now, I'm 20) has an NES when it first came out so I played it. Mario, baseball, wrestling, the Little mermaid, all of it. He moved out, and left it so I still played it. XD I used to LOVE duckhunt. XD
Then I got an SNES and a gameboy, and it just went from there. XD
