Can you recall the very first video game you played? What age were you when you first played it? My first video game was Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Mega Drive/Genesis. I was 4 years old, this was back in 1994. I remember my cousins had a Genesis and they brought it over to our grandparent’s house which is where my parents, sister and I were living at the time. We were all gathered around in the living room and the Genesis was hooked up to the tv. I was hesitant to play the game at first but once one of my cousins handed me the controller I was hooked. I kept dying in Green Hill Zone Act 1 lol.
