discussion What game got you into gaming??

[Baris]

I had a hand-me-down C64 growing up. I really got into the early ADnD games. Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds.

A significant gaming milestone was, later on, when my friends and I discovered the synergy between weed and gaming while playing the original Tomb Raider on the PS1(?). Good times

Any free game I could find, I played. So a lot of flash games.

Though I also had a ps1 with a bunch of games. Twisted Metal, Gran Turismo, NFS Hot Pursuit. On PC side I had red alert, generals, and warcraft 3.

I wasn't deep into gaming yet by that point though. I got deep into gaming after getting the Orange Box. The games in that collection blew my mind. In Half Life 2 i'd spend hours just messing with the physics. I spent hours picking stuff up and throwing objects. TF2 was/is the most fun multiplayer game i've played. And portal was the most innovative puzzle game i've played.

the first game i ever played was an old arcade version of asteriod. i remember watching my uncle play lots of super mario, but it wasn't until years later that i picked out a random playstation game from a bargain bin for my parents to buy. it turned out to be metal gear solid. that was my first real experience actually getting enthralled and transported into a new world with games. imo, i couldn't have gotten luckier with that random game snag.

had to be skyrim for me, then the mods lol

super mario 64 of course, but oblivion made me fall in love with games

We had an NES in the living room. I was so young I don't remember what would've been my first game, but I like to think it was Super Mario Bros. But there's a distinct possibility that I started my gaming journey with something that would later get torn apart in an AVGN episode.

I'd have to go with my OG, Runescape!
