what game got you into gaming

[razor343]

It may or may not have been duck hunt. As far as I can remember it was my first ever video game, but the one I spent playing a lot as a child and hence used to get myself into gaming was Yoshi's Island for the SNES. Super Mario All Stars, Bomberman (2?) and one of the Sailor Moon games helped a tonne too.

007 Nightfire, still has better multiplayer than COD.

 

[Fodder Aplenty]

it was so long ago i can't remember exactly. i think it was either pokemon blue or spyro 2

 

[Rule Britannia]

RAYMAN. long time ago though

 

[darkmushroomm]

My earliest memories of playing games to death were Crash Team Racing and Rayman 1.

 

[Kilroy17]

Worms 1.

Timesplitters 2. I would always bug my mom about renting Super Smash Bros. Melee and her response would always be along th lines of "you need to stop playing all those baby games."

So for christmas that year I opened up a present and there Timesplitters 2 for Gamecube was. It's still one of my all time favorite games (which also includes Timesplitters: future perfect) ever.

Pokemon Red <3

Pokemon was the first video game I remember loving, but my first game when I truly became a gamer was Metal Gear Solid 2, things changed after that.

Tomba.
Haven't posted links or embedded vids in a while so I forgot how, but just Google it. It's platforming in it's purist form. And you toss evil pigs around the maps. Awesomeness, they name was Tomba.

Hmmmm... the Might & Magic series was pretty big for me and got me to play some other games, but I don't think I started truly branching out until after Prince of Persia: Sands of Time.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time

I had a NES and a SNES (and enjoyed the earlier marios and zeldas and some computer games), but it wasn't until Ocarina that I because so immersed in a game that I wanted it to be a major part of my life forever =)

It's so long ago, but a combo of all the first Super Mario Bros. games.
Man how those NES controller chafed into your skin with their sharp edges. I'm glad the SNES came with smooth edges.

 

[MetaKnight19]

Kirby's Fun Pak on the SNES. When I was 6, I had seen nothing like it before. I would play it non-stop, even when I finished the game. And the rest is history as they say...

 

[Cat Cloud]

Sonic Adventure for the Dream Cast. It blew my mind when I was like 5.

 

[Kitty4President]

Rayman 2, back when I was 7.
Good times.

 

[Vault101]

Bioshock...

I didnt really take them seriously..untill I realised they can be on par with any book or movie

 

[Something Amyss]

Pick-axe Pete, I think it was called. A Donkey Kong-style game for the Odyssey 2.
