My first console was the Nintendo 64 that my dad had. As a kid my siblings and I would play the crap out of Super Mario 64, Killer Instinct Gold (my dad was way better at the game than us and would frequently trounce us because he could), Pokemon Stadium, and Banjo-Kazooie. We also had a stack of cheap, mostly bad PC games we would play. Those got me into RTSes even though I'm pretty bad at strategy games in general.
