What game got you into gaming?

[Nerexor]

The original mario was probably the first game I played, but I didn't get really into gaming until a friend lent me his copy of Super Mario RPG. I've been a gamer ever since (and still friends with the guy who lent it to me).

Always liked gaming, just for simple fun though, till I played Super Metroid. That was the game that showed me it can be so much more. I learnt about the power of atmosphere, one of the few things I believe games can do better than all other entertainment.

Well Command & Conquer was the first big one but I have to put my money ultimately on Baldur's Gate as the game that showed me gaming was more than simply a time killer.

Well the first game I ever played was Wolfenstein in a auto shop; but what really got me wanting to play video games was Donkey Kong Country. I don't know why I just really liked all the fun imaginative enemies and playing the game. Though I was god awful at it. Took me forever to actually become proficient at jumping on a Kremlins head and to remember not to mess with Clump when playing as Diddy.
And that pretty much did it. I was craving a Super Nentendo after that.
