what game got you into gaming

[boag]

An old little game called Utopia.

It consisted of 2 players, managing the resources of 2 separate islands, you could build farms, industrial complexes, shipyards, fishing boats and Navy boats.

It was on the Intellivision, and it was wicked fun.

And Trons Deadly disks.

Honestly I don't know, I've been playing games since I was 1 year old...
But the first games I remember loving and playing over and over are Sonic The Hedgehog and Jazz Jackrabbit, 10 points if you didn't have to google Jazz Jackrabbit.

OMG OMG OMG. I loved Utopia. I loved it so hard.

Deadly Discs was awesome, too.

I do miss my Intellivision sometimes.

[DementedSheep]

The game that got me properly into gaming rather than just screwing around with games once in a while was probably Baldur's Gate.

 

[Kizi]

Super Mario World. Oh, the memories.
Nostalgia makes me want to invent a time machine and relieve my childhood...

 

[Utrechet]

One of the Mario games, but i'm unsure what one it was. It had multi-colored Yoshi's and trees with apples. Yeah, never really went back to Mario after that but I enjoyed that one so much when I was 3

I started out playing random games on the atari. and then half Life came along and then I played that.... a lot. and then yeah. that's where it began.

 

[technoted]

Asterix and Obelix on the Sega Master System, it also got me into competetive gaming since when I was little I used to play it with my mum and she was ruthless never letting me win, now she refuses to play against me on games because I won't let her win mwahahaha! Vengeance is sweet!

 

[DanielBrown]

Spyro the Dragon.
Still remember when I got it on my birthday, when my Playstation was fairly new. Played the shit out of that game for years.

Love it so much!

[jkcasillas]

Early Sony stuff: Spyro, Crash, etc.

 

[Alcamonic]

Rise of the Triad, Wolfenstein 3D, Doom 2, Heroes 2 and one of the Commandos games, not sure which one.
I can't specify which one, I was 6 at the time, can't remember everything =P

PC gamer by heart.

 

[JasonBurnout16]

Dino Crisis. That was an amazing game. Had always loved dinosaurs so watching my Uncle play a video game with them in was amazing.

Notmany good dinosaur video games get made however. That one was a jewel though!

 

[ph0b0s123]

The first game that was fired up for me on the Atari 2600 console my parents brought. Probably tank battle or one of the other game included in the cartridge chucked in with the system.

 

[mmins]

Most likely Ace Combat 2. I've never really played video games before that game.

 

[KillKill]

Spyro 2 and Crash Bandicoot

 

[Skywatcher]

Star Wars: Dark Forces. Countless hours of my childhood were sucked into that game.

 

[Nemu]

Pitfall on Atari 2600.
I remember begging my mom to take me to the store on my birthday so I could buy Pitfall 2. I LOVED those games.
