The year was 1992. I was 2 years old, and my parents had just gotten married. Either the same day or a few days later, my grandma came over with this big box. Inside this big box was what I'm led to believe to be their wedding present: an SNES with a copy of Super Mario World.
That was the day my life as a gamer began.
So yup. Super Mario World was the first game I ever played, and made me love video games. It was not my first love, however. My first love was LoZ: aLttP. To this day, that still remains my favorite game of all time.
And ironically enough, that was the game I was playing when my SNES finally broke down on me last year. I almost cried that day.
LONG LIVE :snes:
