Good questions, Jeff. Both my older brothers gamed, but neither really gamed much with me as a kid. They did get me started, though, and they gave me some D&D books. I really started gaming around 8th grade and into 9th with friends my age. I still game with the several of that group from from high school, but long distance/PBP.
I played a little Car Wars in 7th grade, I think.
I did some Lone Wolf and Fighting Fantasy books, too, and I read a lot of Choose your Own Adventures as a child.
I played outside or stayed home and read, more than I gamed, as a young boy.
