Oh nice. That's a beautiful series. Did you ever get into the editing? I got in pretty deep lol. Never really shared anything, though.

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.
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.

Doom II was probably the first game I ever saw and it made me ask for a computer. Got a hand-me-down pretty much the next day.
Initially it was Animal Crossing: Wild World. One of my parents' coworker's daughter was babysitting me before school when I was in 3rd grade and she had the game on her DS and I fell in love with it. Still have the copy I got to this day. However, I wouldn't say I fully got into the hobby until The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess (Wii). TP especially got me to fall in line with video games as a storytelling medium artistically and narratively.
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.
Bastion by Supergiant Games.
I'm actually not sure how precisely it happened, but a good decade ago as a teenager I somehow stumbled upon a torrent of the game. I didn't really know anything about the game, but I distinctly remember reading the description and looking at the art and being like "this is so cool", and then being like "this is even cooler" again when it turned out Rucks basically narrates the entire game with that deep hopeful voice.
And that was that; my early gaming continued with things like Hawken, Detective Grimoire and Machinarium, but Bastion definitely holds a special place in my heart.
More than a decade later, I've played (bought) and replayed basically all of Supergiant's games several times. Such a wonderful studio. Darren Korb is a fantastic composer as well, just doesn't miss a single vibe :)
Hawken
I still feel like this had one of the best atmospheres in gaming. Something about it felt so visceral. I had such high hopes of playing it in VR eventually, but by the time VR really came out, Hawken was already dying away.
It had a fantastic gritty futuristic vibe for sure! It's a shame the recent reboot, well... basically failed at delivering that old Hawken experience. Here's hoping the old game gets magically revived someday (and I must agree, a VR port would be very cool).
The first game I ever really wanted to get good at was the arcade game spy hunter. The first time I got the speed boat was a dopamine high I've never recreated.
Sonic 2. I was like 3 at the time.
KOTOR It is still one of the best stories in a game.
super mario brothers 2 baybeeeeeeee
Sid Meier's Civilisation. Got me hooked like what I imagine crack cocaine and meth would do to you.
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"
Pong.
It wasn't the first game I played, nor the first I was really drawn in by but Ultima IV on the Master System just seemed like a miracle. There could be an entire world with a rich history, populated by diverse characters where I got to step into the role of the protagonist of a story like in a fantasy novel only I had the freedom to make my own choices about how to respond to the story, the gameplay rewarded careful thinking over twitchy reflexes and the game world was so big it expanded into real world artefacts. I had no idea of the potential of the medium until I encountered that game but it all unfolded before me once I had.

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 π

SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula on Game Boy Color
Halo/a slew of freemium MMOs I'd play on my dinky laptop in the mid 00s
Minecraft, and then Cuphead again
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.
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.
I got a Sega Genesis at 5. I had Sonic 1 and 2, and tiny toon adventures. Tiny Toon Adventures slaps.
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!
A Sega Mega Drive Car Game called: Lotus Turbo Challenge by EA from 1990
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.
PokΓ©mon Blue on a used Gameboy color when I was like 8. All downhill from there.
Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe
