OP you're not a real gamer, Super Mario Land wasn't on the SNES. Anybody knows that.

If you're talking about Miz he never said SMB was on the SNES.

OP means original poster, he was talking about BHR 

Oh okay. ^_^

I played games here and there like duckhunt, contra and saint seiya when I was around 4-5 years old. I truly became a gamer at the age of 8 when my parents bought me a PS1 and my first games for that console were Rayblade, a mecha turn based strategic game unknown to the general audience but was fun nonetheless and the Harry Potter game based on the first Harry Potter. Good times. After that I had gaming in my blood and played many other games, mostly JRPG's since they were hella popular back when Squaresoft existed. It was after I played Suikoden 1 & 2 that I really started to play games as a passion.



Apparently, I taught myself how to play solitaire on my mother's old Windows laptop when I was 3. The rest, as they say, is history.



On Christmas day I was 7 years old and I got an N64 with Hot Wheels Racer.

Maybe a month later my big bro of whom was 10 years older than me brought me some games, among them was Ocarina of Time <3

The rest is history =D

Ya I was three when I beat my first game at least I remember it that way as does my mom. My mom had an Atari 2600 when I was born. My family was all gamers. She got me playing games like Tank Battle but Nintendo's titles quickly became my favorites.

My Uncle then gave us his Amiga with about two hundred games. It was pretty much mine I played hours a day. By the time I was five my dad had given me my NES. After that I was a gamer for life.

Games played a massive role in my childhood. My two earliest memories asking Jesus into my heart when I was three. Playing my moms Atari when I was three. Earliest memories.

My parents had an atari, played it on a fuzzy "to small to be a tv" TV. Next thing i know, my grandma is buying me an nes bundled with super mario and duck hunt, followed by talespin. Oh the days...



I got the nes in 87 at the age of 7 and never looked back. lol
