Started with GT1 as a 15 year old. Not sure exactly when I purchased it or my first car but I loved it. Favorite race was the Grand Valley 300 KM. GT1 was the game that hooked me and my brother. At the time we were more into oval racing and NASCAR type games and both fell in love with GT.
Bought GT2 at release.
Bought GT3 some months after release when I got to college in 2001 and room mate had PS3.
Bought a PS2 with GT4 in May of 2005 during senior year of college. Played the least of all GT games due to exams and certification exam. Around this time didn't play much video games other than SSX 3 and On Tour. Also didn't play Gt3 all that much compared to other GT's.
Bought GTPSP on release day.
Bought GT5P on release day.
Bought GT5 Collector's Edition on release day.
Repurchased GTPSP digital for use on Vita.
Just received GT5: Academy Edition as gift from German In-laws.
Like many people on here, the GT Series has a special place in my heart. It captured my attention in my mid teens and never really let go, even when I wasn't able to play as much as I wanted. It is interesting because I never was a big car guy and wasn't big into racing other than NASCAR at that time. But it is one of those childhood memories that will stick with me forever. The only other games to do that were Sonic but more specifically Sonic and Knuckles, Tomb Raider, and Oddworld Abe's Oddessy and Exodus. I can't believe GT has been in my life for almost 15 years already. Here's to 15 more.
