What was your first played rom and how did you get it?
Then how did you know what are roms?

My first rom was pokemon blue for the gbc, I won it on a sticker promotion thing, I got it on a cd with this 4 roms inside (red yellow and pinball with it) and the emulator smygb (something alike).

Then later when pokemon crystal was newly released in japan I thought (hm........I may get this thing downloaded on the internet) I found it on a p0rno website after searching it on yahoo.
I started searching, learning and dowloading roms trough the web

my cousin showed me Metroid Zero Mission, Harry Potter and Driver 2 advance on his pc. I asked " how is this possible? " So i snagged a copy of the program off of him and didnt bother about the roms, when i got home, i read the VBA readme and it mentioned - emulation somewhere. I typed in google : emulator download and it showed up some info on how to get roms as well. I soon found out that you could get them from sites if you had the original game/s. And i went from there and now it's basic information for me to know.

Don't know which one was the first i played, but i know for a fact that i got into emulation because i was searching for a Golden Sun, and i know that it was one of my first ROMs as well. Those were the days  :)
