For me, it was 1986 on Atari 2600 trying out Superman. The game amazed me just because it was my first game much like how my mom first watching a TV in the early 50s watched boxing as a kid despite knowing nothing and not liking boxing but it was the novelty of it. I never owned an Atari 2600 but have played my fair share. 1 year later I owned my first console. The NES.
