Ah, my grandfather had the NES, so I played when I was over at his house - he did eventually get the SNES as well. The first system I owned was the SNES, unless you count that I did a lot of computer game stuff before then...
...Which brings me to the fact that I was playing things like Reader Rabit, Think!, Lemmings (the original), Math Blasters, etc as soon as we had a computer in the house. So, that was probably about the same time as I was introduced to Duck Hunt and Mario. :D; I always played Oregon Trail at the public library in Kansas City, too. Good game.
Okami is brilliant. It's easy, so easy that there's no threat that I would Game Over, just the threat that I'll become frustrated with a boss. The controls are intuitive, the visuals are stunning, the plot is interesting enough to hold my attention, and the world itself is phenomenal and full of wonderful characters and none of this NPCs you can't talk to crap like FFXII.
