A friend showed me how to play SNES games on the computer back in the day. I've been hooked ever since but I don't play too much nowadays.

A colleague gave me a disk with a megadrive emulator and Streets Of Rage 2. Then I couldn't rest until I got a SNES emulator and Super Mario RPG because I'd never played it.

A friend (this is a long time ago) had a cd with all kinds of emulators and games on it and we used to play it a lot at her place. Then my dad had the brilliant idea to copy the cd from here (this was when copying wasn't as common as it is now). Dunno which game was my first one, but I have played Chrono Trigger, Zelda and some Sailor Moon game (I didn't even now what it was lol) on it a lot. I've lost the cd now =(

My friend told me about it. And another friend tried to copy one (unsuccessfully) for me. Then I worked it out for myself.

My friend told me one day he was playing FFTA on his CPU on AIM, I paid no heed. Then, a month later, I went to his house, and randomly I asked him how. So, he showed me.

My friend started playing Megaman 3 and Super Mario Bros 3 in NES emulator and I liked those games. Then I started to play some games on NES emulator too... Later I advanced to SNES, then came GB, GBC and GBA and now there are N64 and PSX too... I hope there will soon be a good DS emulator, so I could add DS to my list too!

Well, I remember when I was 7 or 8 that time...when my uncle installed this Gameboy color and Playstation emulator into my computer. I really liked playing games like Pokemon there! But in the Playstation emulator...I didn't get to use it one bit. The sad part is, the computer had to be taken away shortly. Then...3 years passed and my uncle re-installed another gameboy emulator into my new computer and this emulator was...the VBA. That's how I got into emulation! :(
