I got a Sega Genesis at 5. I had Sonic 1 and 2, and tiny toon adventures. Tiny Toon Adventures slaps.
For me it was more a system than an specific game. I got a second hand GameBoy when I was like 5 or 6 and have been gaming consistently since then. Probably the highlight of that period was Super Mario though.
first game I got into was Pokemon Blue, but Guild Wars is what turned me into a gamer
First a gameboy advance with three separate games, Tekken, sonic, and f-zero. Then Nanosaur on a very old mac my dad had and his Sega Dreamcast with a few dozen titles. I still think they’d be fun to revisit today!
Pokémon Blue on a used Gameboy color when I was like 8. All downhill from there.
Pokémon Gold, when I was 8, got it for Christmas. Technically my first game was Battleship, which I opened first, but I probably spent thousands of hours playing Pokémon Gold. :) I’ve played almost every Pokémon game since, up until Scarlet/Violet, which I haven’t gotten yet, but maybe I will eventually.
I have these faint memories of watching my uncles play The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends for NES when I was super little. That’s probably where I first got an interest. But then the first game that I actually played myself that got me truly hooked was Super Mario World for SNES.
Still one of my favorite games ever.
Bubble Bobble on the C64 :)
NFS 2SE
Been playing Nintendo since I could remember. That’s like everyone else’s story.
However, I took a break. 1st kid was born and I wanted to focus on them. 5 years, no gaming… But Factorio… You see, that’s where the trouble began to grow. That factory. That damned factory.
edit: fellow engineers, check the FFF blog, they’ve released news of the expansion!
I’ve only played around 1500 hours of Factorio. Since I’m still a noob, can you give me some sites where I can read about expansion content?
I have the same issue. Too many kids. Haven’t really gamed in years. The only game that I got that was over 10 bucks in recent years was Doom Eternal. Other than that I usually play D2 mods or emulate. I really wish I could get into Factorio, but that game never goes on sale.
It literally won’t go on sale. The devs are on record saying so.
Ya I saw. Weird stance to take. Honestly the base game isn’t bad. Rimworld takes that to a new level. Not only does it not go on sale, but the DLC is way over priced for things that should arguably be already in base game.
Also stopped gaming when I got kids. But then I got the steam deck. Now i manage to game q#2 hours a day
Been saving up money for a deck. Figured I would get one by middle of next year.
Need For Speed Underground 2 and Burnout 3. Got it as a combo deal for Christmas as a kid.
Ocarina of Time. There’s, like, a whole world out there. I can walk around and see stuff. There are people to talk to. Hey, big owl. Scary monsters wtf. This shit’s awesome.
Been chasing that feeling ever since :(
Frankly it’s why I’m so into TTRPGs now. Video games can rarely give me a true sense of wonder, of exploring the unknown and unexpected anymore.
Does jump-start pre k count?
The first game I played was probably Nintendogs on the GBA. The game that really blew me away was Super Mario Sunshine though.
