what game got you into gaming
- Thread starter thedevildancer

I guess what really hooked me was when I got a PS1, along with a copy of Spider-man on my 9th birthday. I played the first half of the game over and over and over until I got a memory card. I must have finished that game twice in a row after I was finally able to save my progress.
Before I got my PS1, I had been playing DOS FPSs like Doom, Blood and Redneck Rampage. At the time, I also owned a Sega Genesis with the original Sonic games, but I never did like them. I've never liked a side-scrolling game, which is why I wasn't too upset when my mom gave my Genesis to my younger cousins. By now, it's probably in a Quebec landfill. Oh well.

Looks like my post voodooed away for some reason.
The game that got me into gaming was Star Wars: Rebel Assault. It was a shitty rail shooter, but I thought it was super cool at the time.
Later, DF: Jedi Knight sold me on the FPS genre, and Half-Life, Baldur's Gate and Thief convinced me that gaming was worth doing as a hobby.

Four games: Banjo Kazooie on N64, Goldeneye on N64, Spyro The Dragon for PS1, and Red Alert 2 on PC.
I was never more enthusiastic about a game since those, somehow the first you play are always the best, I only hope that some new game will one day prove me wrong.

Space Invaders.
My dad had to tear me away from it when I was 4 or 5. His friend gave him the Atari 2600 I was playing it on. Never looked back!

I think it was either Super Mario Land 2 or Super Mario World that got me into gaming as whole.
I know for one thing is that it was C&C Red Alert had gotten me into RTS and Unreal Tournament that got me into FPS.

well the first games i played were Legend Of Zelda: Link to the Past on the SNES (which i've been told is one of the best) and Pokemon Blue and Yellow. but what got me INTO gaming was years later, when my friend played Phantasy Star Episodes 1&2 Online on the GameCube with me... a game i still play to this day, though less on the GameCube and more on the PC where i can actually play online and it's free...
