How did you start with gaming?

for me it all started with tekken on the PlayStation 2, when I was 6 but I began playing online in red alert 2 when I was 7I love(d) the game it was so great, I played it a lot I got great memories that, I also started playing battlefield bad company when I was 8 and that Realy made me start playing games of different categories (RTS,fps,strategy,etc)
(I also played counter strike but only began playing that a lot when Csgo came out)

so now a question for all readers>How did you start with gaming?
im interested to hear all you answers!
