I think... Gran Turismo?? I am a big fan of racing but the handling of TOCA Touring Car Championship never agreed with me despite my love for 90's BTCC. I had a better time with the more sensible handling of GT1.

I have fond memories of a yellow Impreza. I couldn't drive the RWD cars back then. I also remember me trying to use a racing wheel, I was equally bad at it but at least I was having fun!

I played a lot of games beforehand, but one(s) that kicked off the three decades of gaming were Lufia and the Fortress of Doom, and Final Fantasy 4(was 2 here in the US). Honestly don't remember which one I played first.

Sonic on sega was the first game I played, FF7 was the first game I loved.

For me it would have definitely been an MS-DOS game. Exactly which one is harder to remember since I was a kid, but I do recall playing a lot of an educational game called Operation Neptune.

In early 2000s, I got hooked into an online MMORPG called Tibia with some friends. At it's peak it had something like 70k players online. It was cutthroat, if you died you'd lose hours and hours of progress. I was hooked at one point doing 14h days. That experience has been impossible to recreate in adulthood.

OG Fallout.

Moraff's Revenge

Quake 3 was my first but Ultima Online is the one that made me fall in love.

Wobbly Life on PC, coop with the kids, I really, really recommend that game for kids. Since then we mastered BOTW and TOTK on Nintendo Switch and now are working the ranks in Fortnite.

Civilization 1.

My uncle showed me the doom 1 demo when I was 5.

Been fucked up ever since.

Elder scrolls V: Skyrim. I got into gaming at a pretty high age(31yo) even though I had played a bit when I was younger, but I wouldn't consider myself a gamer before Skyrim.

Jackal baybee! And 1943. ♡

Das schwarze Auge it means ~~Black~~ Dark Eye and is a Pen and Paper Roleplay.

Edit: corrected due to the correction right under me. thx

Zork 2 & for a graphical game, windham classics "below the root"

Motocross Mania on the PS1 was the first game that legitimately hooked me. I can still hear the menu music when I think about it, and it's been 15 years since I've played it. Team Fortress 2 got me into PC gaming and I barely ever use consoles now.

First video game I remember playing was Super Mario World in about 1996, when I got a used Super Nintendo for Christmas. It blew my mind and I remember being so impressed when my older brother showed me how to get to Star World, haha

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!

Legend of Zelda 2 on NES. I could not get enough at 4 years old even though I kept getting killed.

Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan, Railway Tycoon, King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella and some car racing game with a Ferrari Testarossa in it (that wasn't Outrun)

When I played pong on a Dec PDP 11 “mini” computer in the 1970s. I was hooked and spent my life playing many games. Into VR development these days Imagineering a Theme Park.

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.

While my first approaches were watching my father play doom and reading him Tomb Raider's strategy guide, as well as playing on my mother's Sega Mega Drive 2, my OWN first games were pokemon yellow and Homeworld, which came pretty much at the same time, and which shaped me all through. To this day I am still a PC and Nintendo gamer

The very first game I can remember was Silk Worm on my dad's Amiga 500. After that, Shadow of the Beast and later, on PC, Command & Conquer.

I'm not a gamer per se, just a casual, but Rome: Total War (the original one with the Barbarian Invasion Expansion, not the Rome 2 trash)

The first game I played was probably Nintendogs on the GBA. The game that really blew me away was Super Mario Sunshine though.

Hello Kitty No Hanabatake I believe was the very first video game I played when I was like 4. PGA Tour Y2K was a banger too.

MacMac (or something like that, because I can't find it anywhere) It was a jump and run game on windows 95. You were a little ninja in a red trainings suit. you had to fight and run your way into a castle. first you were on the outside walls, than on the roof, inside. The final boss was a blue genie. Along the way you had to fight bats and knights, but you could only kick and punch.

My dad got me into gaming with Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I remember fighting with him and my cousins over the PC at times just so I could play. And to this day, I still play it occasionally. It's actually held up incredibly well, and there's a bunch of qol and content mods that make it even better

Oblivion. I got chills watching that opening sequence with Patrick Stewart speaking as the emperor. Never looked back after that. I had only ever played like Madden or call of duty. I didn't know video games could even be what oblivion was, much less the games that came after.

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