How do you remember your First Great Game

[Zeema]

Pretty Simple pick a Game you've Played and remember why you loved it so much What Scene Was it? Was it a Funny Char? Was it a Bug/glitch?

for me it has to be Majores Mask Zelda when you fight the Giant fish and to celebrate every Month i sit down and play it for 3 hours a Month im nearly half way through.

but tell us your fave Game and how you remember it and why it was so great?

Conker's Bad Fur Day; I was 10 at the time and all the M rated content was freakin' awesome

 

[Layz92]

Baldur's Gate 2. The first thing that comes to mind would be the sword Lylarcor. A sword that screams "SWISH. HOT BUTTA!!" and "HANDS UP KIDDIES! WHO WANTS TO DIE!?" gets top marks in my book.

 

[Fishyash]

Super mario 3 and flying. So awesome.

Also the tanooki suit and kuribo's shoe are awesome!

 

[HellspawnCandy]

Doom, it was paused because my Stepdad had to do something. I went on to play my brother showed me the controls. Here I am now.

 

[comadorcrack]

That was Pokemon Blue on my GBC. First game I couldn't put down. 12 years later and I still can't....

 

[LongAndShort]

Age of Empires 2: Age of Kings

First time I conquered the French (Francs) was the proudest moment in my RTS gaming life.
Fuckin frogs learned what a couple of dozen longbowmen can do to a village.

Just to be clear, I've got nothing explicitly against the French, they were just my first hard conquest.

Brute Force

One of the early xbox games that kicked ass. it was like a 3rd person shooter the controlls were great and confortable. the plot was actually quite good and i loved it. my favourite scene was when your about to invade an alien base but instead of charging in and shooting them down cod style you stand behind a huge fence and throw grenades in to get rid of enemy. one of the reasons i liked it so much is becasue it did a lot to avoid direct combat. you had five characters you could play and you would pick them at the right time say if you need to do a stealth sequence well you pick the chick thats small and can turn invisable or if you need to charge absorbing damage and absolutly owning every one then you pick the huge alien guy. it was really good and i think that game is proberly my favourite game of all time.

Warcraft 2. I didn't really understand what was going on, or what I was supposed to do. All I knew was that I was supposed to mine that gold, harvest that lumber, and kill those bad guys. And for what it's worth, I was pretty good at it compared with the fact that I was 8 and didn't have a lot of experience with video games.

I remember when I first started playing Age of Empires when I was little my brother came in and showed me how to use fishing ships.

"Yeah, you see that guy? He'll get food for ya and bring it back to ya."

Dunno why I remember that.

 

[Terminate421]

Jumping on my first Goomba

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

Grandia. The first truly great game I've played.


I will remember this moment forever.

 

[Jabberwock xeno]

As with OP, Majora's mask.

 

[MrShowerHead]

First one I remember is MGS1

I think I was around 7 or 8 years old. I didn't understand anything what happened in the game. The fact that I didn't speak English at all that young didn't help, but oh man, I still loved it.

But I didn't complete it...I lost the CD. I just completed it last month at my friend's house. I almost cried, so much nostalgia

 

[SckizoBoy]

My God, Caesar III that my childhood friend lent me. First taste of RTS. Don't like RTS no more, but no regrets about that.

Wolfenstein SoD, first FPS, LOL how retro

 

[Sassafrass]

Banjo-Kazooie on the N64.

Soooooooooooooooooo many childhood hours I wasted on that when I should've been doing homework. It sucked me in, refused to let me go and made me think "Why don't I have a bird in a back-pack?" It was a truly awesome game. Defining memory? Mumbo-Jumbo. Loved that guy.

 

[Magnatek]

Sonic the Hedgehog, with Robotnik juggling the Chaos Emeralds. Yeah, I didn't get all seven on my first completion, but I was also eight at the time, so I didn't care.

 

[GoBologna]

Super Smash Brothers on the N64.

I remember loving to spam items in Training Mode. My favorite was the Beam Sword. ^_^

I had played other games before, but the first I actually owned was a Genesis with 6 games, including the original Sonic the Hedgehog. I was a fan of the SatAM cartoon before actually having the game, and I was overjoyed, even if the game wasn't anywhere near the show. Especially the first time I beat Green Hill Zone, which I am quite embarrassed to think about now for how long it took me to do. Ro-butt-nik can take that ball and shove it!
