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

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.

Donkey Kong Country for SNES

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.

I had a Sega Pico and a PS1 so early I can’t really remember. I was maybe 5/6, idk. But it wasn’t like today : I had to plug and unplug the console everytime I wanted to play, so I wasn’t playing a lot at all. Then I got a Game Boy Color and boi, game was on.

I’m from 1995.

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Minecraft

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

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

Below the Root on Commodore 64. After that just the Mario Games and Final Fantasy games on NES and SNES.

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.

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

NFS 2SE

Need For Speed Underground 2 and Burnout 3. Got it as a combo deal for Christmas as a kid.

Does jump-start pre k count?

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.

The Little Big Planet series.

mario kart wiiiiiiiiiiiii

I've been playing games ever since I was a little kid, I don't really remember any particular "first game". We did have an old SNES that I did all the time so probably Super Mario World I guess.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula on Game Boy Color
