1. First Video Game - I got a pretty early start in the video gaming world, since Dad owned a 2600. I'd have to guess my first game was something on that - probably either Dragster or Circus Atari. I recall thinking the "death" animation in Circus Atari was the funniest thing in the world. I was 3. It's still funny to me 27 years later.
3. A game that's underrated - I don't think enough people play pinball games anymore. Much as I dislike the pricing scheme of it, The Pinball Arcade is a great way to get into it. Or any of the 21st Century Entertainment pinballs, really. They're cheap as hell on GOG. https://computerfairi.es/media/zo7TfYUDC3QeeH6ZhUY
2. Favorite Character - God there's just so many to pick from. My current pick though would have to be Kazuma Kiryu, who despite all the ass-kicking, is actually a really good role model. He fights for the people who can't fight. He often dispenses very helpful advice to people who swear they'll stop trying to scam people. Generally, he looks scary as hell, but he's a man to look up to. https://computerfairi.es/media/Xe-KrYH0HeW23cDaiiE
