There was never really a single game. First game: Grand Prix on Atari 2600 Then The Settlers, Desert Strike, Another World and Lotus Turbo Challenge 2 on Amiga. Age of Empires 2, GTA, Stronghold, SHOGO, Morrowind, BG2 on PC After these titles I can try just about anything. That made me consider really wide variety of genres, styles and publishing formats (from indie to AAA).

I was first blown away with SimCity 4. My uncle had a pretty decent computer for the time, which could properly run it and I spent hours loving it. My nephew had RTC2 which we played for days on end, the first game I played through at home was Age of Mythology. I guess it shows where my love for strategy/simulation games comes from.

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.

Sonic Heroes

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.

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

Sid Meier's Civilization 1

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.

Final Fantasy

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.

How do all of you even know? I was like 4 and played an NES at a friend's house then got a game boy. Did you all get in at older ages? My memories at 4 are mostly gone.

Pokémon then was reinvigorated but Minecraft.

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 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.

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.

Super Metroid when I was 5 years old. Brothers finally let me play it after a hernia surgery because they felt sorry for me. Got to sit on a comfy couch with an applesauce cup playing it.

Deathmaze 5000

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

Been fucked up ever since.

Civilization 1.

Schatztaucher

Pole Position II on Atari 7800.

Donkey Kong Country for SNES

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

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"

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)

Jackal baybee! And 1943. ♡

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

Moraff's Revenge

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.

Cruisin' the world. Would sit and drive for hours

Edit: just looked it up and it's actually called Cruis'n World

Pitfall on Atari

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

Laser Blast and Pitfall 2 on the 2600

Bubble Bobble

I really enjoyed secret agent on dos.

Ultima online

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.

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. 😄

WoW - just prior to BC release
