We all have been gamers for so long right, but where did it REALLY start?

I think it started when my best friend let me play his pokemon red...around 1998...I know it's late compared to others, was born in 1991 and was pretty oblivious to gaming...but once I got into it..well...here I am!!! had to do alot of catching up!!!(and still do)
