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

Final Fantasy

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.

Tony Hawk's Underground, Need for Speed underground, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I don't remember which one I played first, but it was one of them.

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.

Sid Meier's Civilisation. Got me hooked like what I imagine crack cocaine and meth would do to you.

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.

Spiderman shattered dimensions

Played it half-way as a kid

That or nexuiz on my family linux desktop

Monkey Island 2

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.

Super mario bros

I've been into gaming since as long as I remember. My dad played halo 2 when I was a baby. First game I played tho was Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga.

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

When I was four or so I my family went to have lunch at another family friends house. Their sons were a bit older than me at the time, and they let me play some games on their new PlayStation console. I can’t remember exactly what order we played them in, but the first game I ever played was either Ape Escape or Crash Bandicoot: Warped. Both games are excellent and hold a special place in my heart to this day.

Sonic 2. I was like 3 at the time.

Minecraft

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

First game was Safari Race on a Sega SC-3000. After that mainly played PC games when they were a thing and had a 1st gen Gameboy.

I gave up on games and tried to adult through my 20s... but after a bad breakup I bought an Xbox-360 and Skyrim and it's been a hobby ever since.

Probably a Lego Star Wars game for the game boy, I get nostalgic thinking about it

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.

COD:MW2, Halo 3 and Fallout 3

Oh wow, this takes me back. I've thought video games were cool since the first time I saw a Space Invades arcade cabinet when I was like 4. But the game that got me really into video games? I dunno. It was either Donkey Kong or Ms Pac-Man.

Yes, I'm old. Yes, I've been playing video games since the 70s. No, I'm not particularly good at them. But ask me whatever I guess 😁

A Sega Mega Drive Car Game called: Lotus Turbo Challenge by EA from 1990

Need for Speed Underground 2

The first games I played were some Windows 3.11 and DOS games, like Microman, Space Quest V and Civilization (which I didn't really understand, mostly liked to build up a palace lol). But what really got me into gaming was probably my Gameboy Advance with Pokemon Gold.

My parents got me my first video game when I was 3 years old called Ready for Math with Pooh. I still remember some of the games!

I played games before, but my first obsession was Pokemon Blue, Diablo and 2 got me stuck into RPGs, and Halo CE got me into shooters.

Neverwinter Nights and Roller Coaster Tycoon when I was a little kid. I watched my dad play Neverwinter and had to indulge in my own tiny fantasy to play as a "dragon." Still at it.

Minecraft, and then Cuphead again

Pokémon Blue on a used Gameboy color when I was like 8. All downhill from there.

NFS 2SE

Does jump-start pre k count?

Portal. I have terrible FPS skills but love puzzle games. Having a FPS where I could proceed at my own pace and wasn’t constantly letting down teammates let me develop the skills needed to actually play.

First games i played were Pokémon and super Mario, but I think the first game that REALLY got me hooked was Banjo Kazooie.
