Well unfortunately I'm not as old as you guys and my first game was Sonic 2 on the Genisis (called Megadrive here). I played it for months when I was about 7 but could never finish it... but I got there when I was 8. Then I started messing with the cheats like debug mode and at the time I knew all the cheat codes off by heart.
