Hello GI Crew! It’s my birthday today, and I’m turning 26! This means that I am officially closer to 30 than 20, and it sparked some reflection about my childhood. So, what is the first game you remember playing? Mine is probably Star Wars: Attack of the Clones on the Gameboy Advance! Not a particularly good game, but I remember it fondly. – Jonah Abraham
