How did you lose your gaming virginity?

[Mr Mc Twiggy]

Half Life, introduced by my dad, and it's been one of the best things ever in my life! XD

 

[InvisibleSeal]

Simon the Sorcerer on MS DOS - I was either 4 or 5, and I'd been chased away from watching my brother play it when it first came out a couple of years ago.. good times

 

[The Garuness]

Sonic the Hedgehog when i was 4. The rest is history.

 

[kronoset]

It was either Pokemon Red, 007: Goldeneye, or Age of Empires, whichever came out first, somebody help me out there.

 

[The_ModeRazor]

Did not. I'm only 16 though, so I guess I'm not doomed yet.
Oh, gaming virginity?
I think I was about 4 when I first played a video game. I think it was Prince of Persia 2.

 

[mayney93]

The first game I ever played was either Spyro the Dragon or Crash Bandicoot 2 on the Playstation. The game that turned me into a gamer was definitely Pokemon Blue.

ditto, blue was much better than red

 

[CopperBoom]

Super Mario Bros.
...in the back of a Volkswagen.

 

[CriticalGriffin]

Gameboy Pocket, along with Pokemon Red.

 

[elfshiree]

Streets of Rage...probably 8 or 9. My neighbors forced me into it though. It was tragic.

 

[geek.flip]

Commodore 64. "Rocky's Boots" logic/pre-programming educational game. I still remember my frustration in trying to make an automatic alligator seeking/kicking machine/program to protect the orange cursor.

[The_Graff]

given a copy of doom by an uncle, all downhill from there.

 

[dasUnbekannte]

Pokemon in my younger years, followed by a massive WoW addiction starting pretty much as soon as it released.

 

[evilgrim]

LoZ:OoT

I was three months old.
Second generation nerd ftw.

 

[thenoblegaunt]

Tetris when I was like 3.

 

[MgalekgoloHunter]

Ah, the simple days of PSone, when consoles weren't big enough to kill a small dog, when legitimate gamers weren't punished for not pirating. The disc of Rayman 2: The Great Escape clips into place...

It's also the first game I ever finished, I believe. Watching the end cutscene was one of the most thrilling moments of my life up to that point...

 

[AgentNein]

It was an NES. Let me tell you, the game-slot is NOT DESIGNED FOR ANYTHING BUT GAMES.

I've still got scars.

 

[noogai18]

Space Quest III: The Pirates of Pestulon, for first game ever.

StarCraft for first time gaming solo. Dad thought it was totally appropriate for a 4 year old.

 

[darkenedroom]

Flight Path 737 on the Commodore 64.

And now I feel old...
