I think maybe it was Super Mario Bros. The first game I played was combat on Atari and then many games on that System and Colecovision. Prior to SMB I did get deep into many games, notably getting to level 32 on DKJr and similarly on DK, but they never had endings and recycled levels. Pitfall was a let down when you realize you made it back to the beginning. But SMB gave you a complete package with an ending. It also opened the door to the NES which had Zelda and dozens of other games. I played the shit out of SMB. We all did. We all would try so many stupid things in the -1 world to get to the mythical Skiing level, which was a stupid urban legend in our region.
