 My first video game was the original Doom for PC. My aunt got it for me and I played way too young. 

I turned out just fine!

 mine was “Hugo’s house of horrors”. I think think about it when I see a haunted house.

 My first game was Food Fight for the Atari 7800 and I only very rarely throw chunks of watermelon at chefs in order to get to the ice cream cone as quickly as possible.

 My first PC game was called Decathlon. It was pretty crappy & at some point dad wiped the 5¼" disk & put DOS on it. For years I thought everyone had a decathlon disk to boot their computer.
