Flash games. Like the ones on Newgrounds, Y8, coolmathgames…

Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe

COD:MW2, Halo 3 and Fallout 3

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.

KOTOR It is still one of the best stories in a game.

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"

I got a Sega Genesis at 5. I had Sonic 1 and 2, and tiny toon adventures. Tiny Toon Adventures slaps.

Need for Speed Underground 2

In theory, Super Mario Bros. on the NES, because that's the first game I really played by myself. But I'm not sure it really is, because at that time video games were just a thing you did, like watching TV. So I never considered myself a gamer as such, just someone who would casually drop in on games here and there. I was never involved in them, I'd just play for a bit, then go and do something else.

Fast forward to a few years ago, and my wife (who plays a lot of games) suggested I play To The Moon, and that got me hooked. A video game that made me cry - amazing.

Since then I've played more games, looking for ones with a great story. Played RDR2 last year, and nothing has come close to it since.

Halo/a slew of freemium MMOs I'd play on my dinky laptop in the mid 00s

super mario brothers 2 baybeeeeeeee

Tony Hawk's Underground, Need for Speed underground, and Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time. I don't remember which one I played first, but it was one of them.

Probably Commander Keen 4 and Prince of Persia in black and white on my dad's 286 pc.

SpongeBob SquarePants: Legend of the Lost Spatula on Game Boy Color

I have no idea. My brother is 10 years older than I am, (so he's 49, I'll be 39 in a few months) and it was definitely something he let me play, I just have no idea what it could possibly have been. I've had a controller (keyboard and mouse mostly now) in my hands my entire life lol

The first games I played were some Windows 3.11 and DOS games, like Microman, Space Quest V and Civilization (which I didn't really understand, mostly liked to build up a palace lol). But what really got me into gaming was probably my Gameboy Advance with Pokemon Gold.

Minecraft

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).

Forbidden Forest on my dad's Commodore 128. I still have a MIDI of the title music on my phone.

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.

I've been playing games ever since I was a little kid, I don't really remember any particular "first game". We did have an old SNES that I did all the time so probably Super Mario World I guess.

First games I remember playing, at least on console, were Mario Kart 64 and Super Mario 64 on my cousins' Nintendo 64 (which later got passed down to me). I would frequently get Mario stuck in the castle moat and my cousins would have to get him out of it so I could keep playing, haha.

I can remember my Dad and I playing on the Amstrad console - "Pang" and "Burning Rubber" (I think?) .... The controller connections used a serial type port and I can recall him having to fix the pins on more than one occasion!

I also remember one uncle showcasing the PS1 to us, with Gran Turismo and Time Crisis, and another uncle introducing me to Unreal Tournament on PC, a game that I still play today!

mario kart wiiiiiiiiiiiii

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

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.

Pong.

Sid Meier's Civilisation. Got me hooked like what I imagine crack cocaine and meth would do to you.

Pokemon Blue that I got from a girl my mom babysat. But I think really getting into the hobby would be minecraft when I started hosting servers for my friends in middle school. I owe my career to that game.

Gaming in general? First game was Duck Hunt and the game that got me into gaming was Super Mario Bros.

PC gaming? Leisure Suit Larry 6.

I think Super Solvers - Gizmos and Gadgets was among the first games that really got me excited for gaming.

Probably a Lego Star Wars game for the game boy, I get nostalgic thinking about it

The first one for me was Alley cat in the early 80s. Later test drive for DOS and Mario bros.

I saw links awakening on my brother's friends Gameboy, just walking around digging with the shovel was enough to get my interest,

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)

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.

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

Believe it or not, Angry Birds.
