Default Wasn't a video game but...

This wasn't a video game but it really set the stage for a life long love/hate/addiction/passion with video games.

Here is where it all started for me:

Magic Shot Shooting Gallery at Feeling Retro

It broke on the first day I had it. I think I played it for like 10 minutes and I will never forget it. I have just been looking to build on that experience ever since.
