I have glimpses of memories of playing atari with my dad when I was 4 and 5, but that Christmas my cousin got a NES with Mario and Duck Hunt was magical. I think we spent the entire holiday in his parent's room (that was the only other TV in the house besides the living room) taking turns shooting ducks.........and that stupid dog. We ended up getting our own the next Christmas with John Elway Quarterback.
Haven't looked back since.

First thing I remember was watching my dad and brother playing Zelda.

Put Mike Tyson's Punch Out or Nintendo Baseball on that screen and you've got me. I played Mario, but as soon as I learned how to play, I gravitated immediately to sports games
RBI Baseball, Bases Loaded, NES Playaction Football, John Elway Football, Tecmo Bowl, Blades of Steel, Track and Field, Roger Clemens MVP Baseball..
Damn those were the days. I had to get my wife to buy me an NES/SNES and N64 USB controllers so that I could play ROMS on my Laptop. Nostalgia

When I was a young lad, I went to my cousins one day to hang out and they had a NES. Spent hours on the thing and me and my brother ended up getting one for Christmas that year.

Loved that game. Instead of picking an actual play, you could put it on "reverse" like you were going to run the designed play but backwards but don't pick a play and he would run 10 times faster than anyone on the field. One of the first glitches I knew besides the Mario extra tubes, but didn't really consider those glitches.

This is where my NES was. Definitely kept us from playing all hours of the night too.
Randomly, I think the footage from that gif is from Vs. Super Mario...as in the arcade version and not the NES one.
Dork alert!!!

Not enough fighting with siblings in that gif. Especially when you would lose.

I remember the NES, but only from watching my older brothers play. I did some button mashing in Punchout, though. I think I was 5.
I remember the SNES, though. We played street fighter for months on end. Then when I was a little older, maybe 8 or 9, I transitioned to PC gaming via Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, and haven't looked back.
