A "Gamer Moment," is what happens when a person comes into contact with a "high gaming area" and begins to love videogames with unbridled passion.

I remember my "gamer moment" or the moment that I realized that I would be a gamer until I died. I was watching my dad play Star Fox 64 and he went underwater in some sort of sub thing and I was like, "I thought this was a space game," and he said, "You can go into other stuff when you do different levels." That's when I truly knew that game were amazing due to their branching paths and infinite replayability. What was your Er "gamer moment?"?

i set down the path of a gamer when i got a video game console; unfortunately, it was a dark and lonesome path full of tribulation, as it was a genesis

Not a cute boy, just a boring girl.
Supposedly I learned to read and write well before kindergarten just to play video games according to my parents. Unfortunately, I don't remember this at all, only starting out playing space invaders and stuff like that on the Apple IIc.

Hope this counts OP.

my gamer moment was going home after getting secret of mana when i was eight after having known of its existence since i was six and having searched for it for, to my child brain, literally one-quarter of my life and playing that motherfucker. i saved in kippo village and i was like "i've spent years searching for this game and it is finally mine, this is truly one of the greatest things one can enjoy in life." it gave me an appreciation for rare and fine things

now that i'm an irresponsible adult and have spent the past twenty years hunting after rare games and swag, i want one of those 24k gold-plated game boy advance SPs they raffled off back in 2004 as a promotion for the release of japanese minish cap

i was talking to a moth
the other evening
he was trying to break into
an electric light bulb
and fry himself on the wires

why do you fellows
pull this stunt i asked him
because it is the conventional
thing for moths or why
if that had been an uncovered
candle instead of an electric
light bulb you would
now be a small unsightly cinder
have you no sense

plenty of it he answered
but at times we get tired
of using it
we get bored with the routine
and crave beauty
and excitement
fire is beautiful
and we know that if we get
too close it will kill us
but what does that matter
it is better to be happy
for a moment
and be burned up with beauty
than to live a long time
and be bored all the while
so we wad all our life up
into one little roll
and then we shoot the roll
that is what life is for
it is better to be a part of beauty
for one instant and then cease to
exist than to exist forever
and never be a part of beauty
our attitude toward life
is come easy go easy
we are like human beings
used to be before they became
too civilized to enjoy themselves

and before i could argue him
out of his philosophy
he went and immolated himself
on a patent cigar lighter
i do not agree with him
myself i would rather have
half the happiness and twice
the longevity

but at the same time i wish
there was something i wanted
as badly as he wanted to fry himself

final fantasy 2, the snes one, you know the one, with cecil and poo poo, we have to call it ff4 now or we're not internet cool

i rented it because i thought it looked like zelda and i liked zelda but was really confused by it. i thought when i left the castle and the FF theme started playing that i'd somehow skipped to the end and that i missed something but then it put me on the world map and i was like "whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat" and then didn't play anything but RPGs for several years because it blew my little five-year-old gamer mind

My parents said we (my 2 brother and I) were asking for a Nintendo (NES) but I don't remember it, I just remember getting it for Christmas. Keep in mind I remember some poo poo from when I was 2 so I'm amazed I don't remember that if it's even true. Anyway, I clearly clearly remember playing Duck Hunt for the first time and flipping my poo poo.

Then I remember having to share it with my other brothers and even though it was cool to watch, it felt like hours of waiting time for it to be my turn again, then just like those $1.75 Sega 3D racing cabs from back in the day in what felt like 10 seconds my turn was over.
