First video games

I remember playing several games on my dad's Atari 2600. The games I remember most are tennis and Breakout. I remember playing several other games besides those, but I can't remember their names.

My first game system I owned was an original Game Boy. The first game I remember playing on it was a game called Battle Bull. It was a maze-type game where you could manipulate the blocks that acted as the environment. You could also destroy stuff.

I used to be a much more serious gamer in my youth. Compared to many people, I guess I'm still a pretty serious player, but not nearly as much as other people. Now, I mostly just play sports games and whatever blockbuster games that I'm interested in.
