The Wii U is still going strong in my household. It was my 14 year old daughters first introduction to gaming too. Now she’s put in over 200 hours into Tears of the Kingdom.

My 4 year old is going to play Super Mario 3D World. She’s super excited to play as Peach.

The first game that comes to mind for me is Super Mario Bros. Son the NES.

Monster Truck Madness.. lol I used to love this game. I thought it looked awesome and was so fun to drive off the track and into some hilly area.. not sure if I only had the demo also or full game.

Super Mario Bros was my first. My son’s was Sonic 2 (he’s now 8 but was 3 at the time).

It’s been a lot of fun experiencing his growth into gaming. He loves to play coop games with me.

Late 70s/early 80s. Star Trek on a mainframe at Huntington College in Montgomery, Alabama when I was about 10 or so.

My first console was a SNES with super mario kart and killer instinct. So either of the 2, nothing like karts and blood to cheer up a 5yr old kid with a broken leg.

[drotahorror]

Some sort of late Atari game, river raid, tanks etc. I got an NES when I was 3 though, along with TLOZ.

I think it was either Combat or Popeye on Atari. But the first one I have decent memory of playing was probably Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros (NES) was my first game too! Wasn’t immediately hooked.

Super Mario Bris 2 though had me the moment I saw it. Loved playing that as the princess as she could float.
