I got into it because of friends. And they showed me a few sites and I looked around. My first game was Digimon World 1 for PSX. XD

A buddy of mine was playing street fighter 2 turbo during a class and I heard about this site from him. I think the first game I downloaded was street fighter 2 turbo.

When I was a freshman in high school, in Tech lab ,lol. Each station had a computer with internet access, and I was just looking for something to play online when I came across this site:http://www.angelfire.../anime/motoki2/Which I still go to, I downloaded the emulator and the Roms and showed the rest of my amazed classmates how to play some good old SNES in class:D The rest is history, and awsome yahoo skills.

Wanted to play a few SNes games that were never released stateside. Nowadays I mostly use it as a free way to test games before I decide whether to buy or not.

I'd started watching Pokémon when it first aired (now I feel old) and then I found out that it was actually a game...but I didn't have a Gameboy. So I spent days looking up an emulator (No$GMB) and finding out if it would work on my PC...which it shouldn't have. :weep:;; I had to run the game at 80% speed.
