    My Atari 2600 that i got for xmas from my grandparents when i was 11. I loved it, but my stepdad monopolized it and rarely let me play it. Him and my mom made a rule in our house that we weren’t ever allowed to play videogames, so they basically took it away from me, and only let me play for a few minutes a month. I didn’t really play videogames until i bought an N64 when i was in my 20s.

    I was a gen-x free-range kid that wasn’t really allowed in the house until it got dark outside.

        When i got my N64, i got Zelda OoT…and then it was my GF who kept harping at me to turn it off.

        I don’t think i really got into gaming until i stumbled upon Subnautica in my 40s. Wow. The creative mode in that game is like a SCUBA vacation.
