What Game Got you Started???

[Axeldeath]

I hate all JRPGs, so far... No exceptions. I hate turn-based games ( exceptions include Civ IV ). But I love ARPG's.

ME2, next will be probably Prey or Thief, but I have strange need to play HL2 once again.

Wrong thread, possibly?

[Alyxx Thorne]

Yeah, I'm sure JJT meant to post this in the "last game you played" thread.

[Toast]

Always used to watch my brother play Final Fantasy. I fell in love with FFVII, and many years later, when we got Halo: CE for the Xbox, it opened my eyes to the world of gaming. Other than that, I played a lot of Majora's Mask and Pokemon as a kid.

Umm... Nope, I just started to play ME2

Ah, you think this thread is "What game did you get started on recently" ?

It's a thread about what was the first game that got you into playing games.

[Jek Jek Roo]

wait... Oh sorry. Yeah, nevermind. Ignore my last posts here, please xD

 

My mistake

[Grommok]

the first game that got me gameing alot was either, diablo 2, half-life, or Return to castle wolfenstein, and i've playd and still play those games to a great extent today, i playd on a 64 before then but i never really play'd on it much but the first games on there would be super mario, smash brothers, ect.

Some of my earliest gaming memories are of misc. arcade games, duck hunt and mario on an old NES and Street Fighter 2 on SNES, some of the 1st games I really got into playing for myself though were all N64, and playing the PS1 with my Dad. I got into shooters kinda late, mostly being a console gamer I couldn't really get ahold of a well done one until the 1st Halo. A lot of my childhood was spent with a gameboy in the back seat on a long car ride. God knows how many hours I sank into that Blue Version.

Did you hear the Lavender Town music in your nightmares too?

I had long forgotten it, just youtubed it, and am now haunted by it, thank you Alyxx, you've just given me less reason to sleep than I already barely had. Being exhausted from classes and insomniatic (is that a word? lol) is the best combo ever btw.

You're welcome.

Just remembered Oregon Trail. Anyone else remember that?

 

This image here is from a webcomic my brother-in-law makes.

All I remember from that game is a theif stealing 11 of my oxen in the night.

To this day I don't know how he did it, but I would like to assume he's best theif of all time.

[Obsidian]

Aww man, I remember playing that game back in grade school for an assignment. If I recall, my group somehow ended up reenacting the Donner party fiasco...

[Michael Archer]

I've been playing video games ever since I was little, but the first game that made me a gaming nut is Halo: Combat Evolved.

[Karl]

The original Super Smash Brothers for the N64. I would have my two neighbors come over, and we would play it all day. As we all grew up being near each other's ages, we would then play SSB Melee, and eventually SSB Brawl as they came out. Man I love that series.

The game experience is extremely enhanced if you have people to play it with.

As lame as it may sound, the Crash Bandicoot series was what got me started when I was 4, and everytime I've fallen off the gaming band wagon, its mainly been Naughty Dog that's got me back on.
