what game got you into gaming

[ciancon]

That would be Ape Escape. Once i figured out how the hell to swing the net i loved that game!

and

Closely followed by:
Nobuo Uematsu, you're a god.

Banjo-Kazooie did its job too, but it was mostly those three.

 

[NaramSuen]

My first console was an Atari 2600 and I loved Pitfall and Ms. Pac-Man, but the first Legend of Zelda was the game that really hooked me.

 

[j0k3r.ig]

The first game I played was Super Mario Bros. but Resident Evil 2 was the game that changed my whole outlook on games

 

[Ktownknight]

Of course the classics infleunced me, but the big three were Pokemon, (Blue was the one i had...still have it somewhere, im sure), DK64 (my first introduction to console gaming, and probably one of my all-time favorites), and, for PC gaming, a very buggy but fun game based on the D&D adventure, Pools of Radience.

PS1 demo disc. Included gems such as Spyro the Dragon, Metal Gear Solid, MediEvil, Crash Bandicoot: Warped, Wild 9 and Tomb Raider 3.

 

[jetricx]

The original Spyro.
Such a great game...

 

[Move127]

The first game I played a lot was Pokemon Red, so I'll say that.

 

[JokerboyJordan]

I do believe it was this game http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KKND2:_Krossfire
Either that or Final Fantasy 7.

 

[AD-Stu]

Line ball between Battle Outrun on the Master System II and Monkey Island on PC - neither were the first games I played, but they were certainly the first "OMG I love this game" ones.

 

[sharinganblossom25]

Super Smash Bros on Nintendo 64. It got me on the video gaming train for sure.

[masher]

Honestly? It was Tiberium Sun. Good times... good times...

Heck yes. The Conqueror's expansion was the first release I actually tracked. Fear the wrath of the Mongol horde!

 

[Techsmart07]

My first game was ghost busters on the commodore 64, but it wasn't until command and conquer 95 that I really began to play games alot.

 

[YogSothoth]

I have no idea what the first best game was for me, mostly because the 5th to 8th years of my life are hazy (no it isn't memory repression or anything like that, I wasn't raised catholic after all...), but I would have to say that it falls under three catagories for me;
a) The first game to genuinly make me laugh (and having intended to) = Timesplitters
b) The first game to be actually playable and not kill me at the second enemy of the first level because I'm not some sort of meta-human with seven sets of opposable thumbs and bullet time = Crash Bandicoot
c) The first game that I bought its sequel without any hesitation because I just knew it had to be amazing = Spyro (the starting point of my current cynicism)

 

[Imperiused]

I can't remember. It was either Donkey Kong, Pokemon, Oregon Trail, or Age of Empires.

 

[articqatar]

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 for the Playstation 1

 

[crimson sickle2]

Sonic 2 at a friend's house.

 

[Burst6]

I remember when my parents bought me my first game. It was a mickey mouse game called Mickey Mania. I was playing the SNES when the gamecube was out. Then i convinces my dad to buy me a gamecube, and got Super Mario Sunshine.

Back then i couldn't beat either of them.



Aah brings back memories. Like that time i got constipated for two days and tried to take my mind off it by playing Mickey Mania.
