When we were kids, someone introduced each of us to the world of video games. Maybe it was a parent, or a friend who had the latest and greatest. Or maybe that love developed in arcades and translated into the home. This week, we revisit the formative years that made us gamers.

Sean and Vinnk interview their families, play user submissions, and give their own individual stories about what it meant Growing Up Gamer.
