what game got you into gaming

[Jaeke]

Earth-Worm Jim ( i might have gotten the name wrong its been so long ) was the first game i played. MY first videogame that got me into videogames was Ocarina of Time, well maybe that and Super Mario 64, but Ocarina has been the game that I will always remember even though i was about 6 or so when i played it.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind. Got it for $10 in a bargain bin at the warehouse when I was eight years old.

I am not 100% sure for my first game I played was at the age of 2... It was one of these three, Mario, Sonic, or Battletoads. Mario I first played at Mc Donalds, Sonic at a friends house, and Battletoads with my brothers at my home. Other possibilties are Pac-Man by the local Donut and Coffee shop, and Mega Man at my older brothers house.

I know t is hard for some people to believe, but I did play those games when I was 2 years old. Mostly watching my brothers completing the games for I could not at that time... Except Mario. None of us could beat Battletoads though (could anyone...?).

POKEMON! Red.

 

[ConstantErasing]

Oddly enough I was introduced to gaming when a friend of mine (who actually isn't even and never has been that into games himself) brought a Pikachu bouncy ball into daycare when I was 4. Soon after that I got Pokemon yellow and loved it. However the game that expanded my range beyond constantly playing and replaying the first 2 generations of Pokemon was either Donkey Kong Country or Super Mario World.

Pokemon Blue made me see games as a worthy pastime exercise, but it wasn't until Oblivion that I comfortably clicked onto the railway of games. Keeping up with news, seeking out new releases, creating a taste in games and so forth

 

[DirgeNovak]

I played other games before it, but Crash Bandicoot in 1996 was my first gaming obsession. It's one of those rare PS1 games that are still thoroughly enjoyable by today's standards.

 

[Riddle78]

A combination of Megaman X4,Final Fantasy VIII,and Dungeon Keeper. They still hold a special place in my heart,just because I found them to be pure awesomesauce. Even if I could never beat Cyber Peacock/Edea Round 1/The Avatar when I first played.

 

[Thatguyky]

For me it was The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. My aunt showed it to me when I was really young. I think I was about seven or so. I remember having so much trouble with queeny (or whatever her name was). I played that game like crazy.

 

[ChocoFace]

I used to be really casual up until a back-then friend introduced me to Priston Tale, an MMO.
I never looked back.

 

[mik1]

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
The Manhattan Project

[W1SE 9UY]

contra, crystalis, the original goleneye, and KOTOR. contra and crystalis got me started, and the others kept me interested throughout the years.

 

[freaper]

Runescape was my gateway drug, hands down.

 

[MJpoland]

Megarace 2, from 1996 year

 

[honestdiscussioner]

Super Mario Brothers & Duck Hunt. Yeah, I guess I'm that old now.

 

[socialmenace42]

Logical adventures of the zoombinies

First game that turned me on to gaming proper?
Worms armageddon

Game that tuned me from a casual PC gamer to a no-holds-barred console player?
Halo (yes, I know)

 

[babinro]

Jumpman and Jumpman Jr (Commodore 64) - These are the games I remember loving from the onset and wanting to come back and try to improve upon.

There were tons of others for the C64 including Archon, Friday the 13th, Ghostbusters, Caveman Ugglympics, some amazing western game that used Bioware style conversation and choice systems <if anyone knows that name of that game I'd love to know>.

Our household eventually got into the NES which naturally got me addicted to Super Mario Bros and snowballed from there.

 

[The Dutchess]

I only started really playing a few years ago when I played a couple games on my friend's xbox. The one that grabbed me and didn't let go was Dragon Age: Origins and so began a beautiful relationship between me and Bioware.

 

[Jewrean]

Doom, Commander Keen, Mechwarrior 2, Stunts (very old driving game), Jill of the Jungle, and other DOS games.
