Well, I was there when Karate Champ came out. I do remember playing the very first street fighter. I was all about the roundhouse because it was something I always wanted to do in Tae Kwon Do.

As for the first one I really got into? Sadly, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tournament Fighters ON GENESIS. Not even the good one, the crappy one. I didn't know any better. Figured out how to spam moves on the CPU and had fun doing it. That was when I first learned about quarter circle/half circle motions, super moves, charge moves, all that stuff. I did get the SNES version which was SOOOO much better.
 
When I was a kid (around 4-6) my dad worked at a huge arcade in Atlanta (i think). The place had neon lights and everything. He had a key that would enable him to play any game for free, so everytime i go, i would just spend hours playing random fightin games. The biggest game i played back then was Mortal Kombat, and i used to low sweep my way to victory everytime. Those were good times, and thats probably the reason I'm hooked on games as it is.

Then wen I moved to Cali I got my nintendo 64 with super smash bros and both zelda games....i was in heaven yo. The next door neighbor also had it, and we were always friendly rivals....and with each other shit talkin each other every day, we played all day every day got better, until we were fukin crazy good. Then Gamecube came out with melee, and we decided to try our skills at our school tourney. We won all of them (we did the 2 vs. 2 matches)...those where the first games i actually got good in.

huh....i miss those days....
