I received an NES with Super Mario Bros. for Christmas when I was in the second grade. I had decided that I wanted to make video games for a living by the end of the day. That didn't quite work out, but I'd bet there are a lot of developers like me out there who started programming for the same reason. Only thing is, I wonder if it still works for kids these days. It was pretty easy for one person to whip up something fun and nearly professional in 1990, but I think one might be discouraged when he finds out just how much goes into making something like Halo.
