I didn't get a computer that could run games with any kind of playable framerates (unless they were really old games like Civilization 2 or the first two Warcraft games) until 2003.
A year later, my then-girlfriend (who loved The Sims) decided she was going to get me hooked on Sims 2, so we both got a copy at launch in 2004.
It was a bit slow going to catch on with me (2004 was such an amazing year for games in general, with Rome: Total War as my main obsession), but after I married the girl in question in the spring of '05, it was off to the races with me and the series.
And when we divorced in 2009, Sims 3 was there to take the edge off the heartache as I got over the loss.
