Halo/a slew of freemium MMOs I'd play on my dinky laptop in the mid 00s
Flash games. Like the ones on Newgrounds, Y8, coolmathgamesβ¦
Remember Fancy Pants? That game was so slick
Sly Cooper.
Zillennials rise up.
Pong.
Minecraft, and then Cuphead again
Probably space invaders on the Atari 2600
I didn't have an Atari new I believe it was already an old system when me and my sister got it.
Played my first game on a dedicated Pong console but my first transformative gaming experience was either Ultima III, Archon or Starflight. Those games were on IBM DOS machines with only 4/16 colors and a floppy drive. In the arcades it was Dragon Slayer and a little later the original Street Fighter.
super mario brothers 2 baybeeeeeeee
gaming chooses you. you wake up one day and youre grinding something and u have a vague memory of games you played on these "old consoles"
Chopper Commando on the PC Jr and River Raid on the Atari 2600 were my first gaming loves.
The first game I ever played was Mario on the NES, but the ones that really got me into gaming were Duke Nukem 3D and Quake on PC. It's been 27 years and I still enjoy them.
Believe it or not, Angry Birds.
Deathmaze 5000
The first game I ever played was Mario Kart DS. I have been a Mario fan ever since.
Adventure on the Atari 2600, also Pitfall and Chopper Command. Sort of fell out of it for a while until I played Halo. I've been on Xbox ever since
WoW - just prior to BC release
Pilot wings 64 and mario 64 played at my friends house. Only access to games prior to that were Prince of Persia, Myst and spooky-ass Iron Helix on an old Mac II and they were not particularly exciting for a pup of that age.
Commander Keen in my early years. But the first game that really got me into 3D gaming was probably Acclaim's ShadowMan. It's still an absolute masterpiece. Great visuals, amazing storytelling...and that creepy soundtrack is just burned into my brain. Probably had some nightmares from that when I was a kid. π
I think it was Tetris on the GameBoy, then Super Mario Land 2 and Kirby's Dreamland.
After the mandatory army service I stopped, studied and began gaming again with Portal 1&2.
Bubble Bobble
Laser Blast and Pitfall 2 on the 2600
I can't remember a particular first game. Nethack, various MUDs, Descent 1, Starcraft, and Unreal Tournament (1999) were all reasonably early.
Cruisin' the world. Would sit and drive for hours
Edit: just looked it up and it's actually called Cruis'n World
The first one for me was Alley cat in the early 80s. Later test drive for DOS and Mario bros.
