I got a Sega Genesis at 5. I had Sonic 1 and 2, and tiny toon adventures. Tiny Toon Adventures slaps.

KOTOR It is still one of the best stories in a game.

Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe

Dune 2, on our 386. Pretty sure my brother pirated the game from a BBS and at the time I didn't know piracy or BBS' were a thing.

Ultima online

Asteriods, Atari 2600

Video games? Space Invaders on my mate's Atari 2600. Asked for (and got) one that very Christmas.

Board games? That's a tought one, but I reckon Talisman 2nd Edition, which my uncles had a copy of. Played maaaaany hours of that game.

Super Mario Land on the Nintendo Gameboy, and Lemmings on PC/DOS.

Donkey Kong Country for SNES

Super Mario Bros. from the famicom

First game I ever played was Donkey Kong country 1 at 4 years old and it shaped my hobbies up until recently. So definitly that

I’ve been playing games since I was a kid, but I never got hooked to any until The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Now I’m playing the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom. They’re both fantastic games.

Super Mario Bros. circa 1987. I’m getting old.

Monuments of Mars and later Command & Conquer were the two biggest.

How do all of you even know? I was like 4 and played an NES at a friend's house then got a game boy. Did you all get in at older ages? My memories at 4 are mostly gone.

While there was a bunch I played before it, Quake 2 and the rabbit hole of mods for it, were what really got me hooked. Really loving the remaster that just launched and what that is bringing to the mod community that is still going strong to this day.

Dragon Warrior on NES is what really got me hooked. I'd played games on Atari but Dragon Warrior was my first introduction to rpgs. I'm glad the franchise is still going strong. Have slime magnets on my fridge.

I have no idea. My brother is 10 years older than I am, (so he's 49, I'll be 39 in a few months) and it was definitely something he let me play, I just have no idea what it could possibly have been. I've had a controller (keyboard and mouse mostly now) in my hands my entire life lol

Probably going to date myself a bit here

Doom 2, I played Doom before it and it was really fun but Doom 2 just stuck it claws in me and I was hooked.

Spiderman shattered dimensions

Played it half-way as a kid

That or nexuiz on my family linux desktop

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Uh... probably one of my dad's Atari games. For PC games, though, it would be space sims, like the old Privateer or X-Wing. My dad loved them, and so I grew to love them, too.

Probably the pong game that my neighbours had hooked up to their tv in the very early 80s

I know for sure that Sonic and Knuckles was the very first game I played, or at least that I formed a memory of playing. I also had this handheld Radica Junior Bass Fishing game. And then I think I got to play Cruisin' USA at somebody's house and they had a full steering wheel setup for it.

First games I remember playing, at least on console, were Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario 64 on my cousins' Nintendo 64 (which later got passed down to me). I would frequently get Mario stuck in the castle moat and my cousins would have to get him out of it so I could keep playing, haha.

Gaming in general? First game was Duck Hunt and the game that got me into gaming was Super Mario Bros.

PC gaming? Leisure Suit Larry 6.

The first game I played was broken sword on our family's windows 5.2 pc or whatever it was.

I can remember my Dad and I playing on the Amstrad console - "Pang" and "Burning Rubber" (I think?) .... The controller connections used a serial type port and I can recall him having to fix the pins on more than one occasion!

I also remember one uncle showcasing the PS1 to us, with Gran Turismo and Time Crisis, and another uncle introducing me to Unreal Tournament on PC, a game that I still play today!

Forbidden Forest on my dad's Commodore 128. I still have a MIDI of the title music on my phone.

I think Super Solvers - Gizmos and Gadgets was among the first games that really got me excited for gaming.

Age of Empires 2 on my parent's crappy old laptop.

Pokemon Blue that I got from a girl my mom babysat. But I think really getting into the hobby would be minecraft when I started hosting servers for my friends in middle school. I owe my career to that game.

Sonic the Hedgehog

Halo/a slew of freemium MMOs I'd play on my dinky laptop in the mid 00s

Probably Commander Keen 4 and Prince of Persia in black and white on my dad's 286 pc.

Fallout 4.

I started Fallout 4, instantly loved it, and got the initial few quests done and made my way into the open world. There were also side quests asking for help and stuff though. I thought to myself - let's knock out the small stuff so I can get the hang of this.

400 hours later I was basically fighting deathclaws with a high XP character and had barely completed past diamond City I think.

I didn't realize the side quests never stop and I'm an idiot but I was having fun anyway. I eventually looked up why I had to do so many and realized my issue. Finished the game shortly after because I had a maxed out character basically for beginner missions.

super mario brothers 2 baybeeeeeeee
