It was Halo combat evolved for me. My dad didnt give 2 shits that I was far too young to play it. The level "343 guilty spark" is probably why Im rather fond of horror too

 

[Dereminah97]

N64 Diddy Kong Racing and Pokemon Red were the first games that I played like a degen. Earlier than that, I remember playing the original Doom and Wolfenstein when they came out

 

[Fendrich]

hm maybe Alex Kidd or Sonic on the Sega Master System

I actually don't know what the first game I ever played was, or what hooked me on gaming. My parents had a win 3.1 computer when I was barely old enough to associate a screen with a mouse and certainly not literate yet, and I've been using computers ever since.

It was probably something in the Best of Windows pack, like Chip's Challenge - I still remember being frustrated beyond measure on some timed ice level.

 

[annon980]

ocarina of time. a masterpiece

 

[ninjatsu]

The 3d pinball game that came with old Windows. Shit's got me hooked.

 

[Sulfurieus]

Space Pinball 3d on the library computer and Pokemon Fire Red/or was it Black on a DS emulator on an old Mac at home.

The first game I remember playing a lot was one of surfing penguins in my father's pc when we didn't even have wifi. Probably that game yeh.

 

[Nikx]

I remember playing a few older games on PS2 but flashgames were what hooked, Armor Games, Miniclip, Nitrome...

 

[Enzo-r345]

Saints row 2

 

[Ethanol1]

Good old Pinball in Windows 98 for me

 

[Baka]

Pong is my first memory of gaming, then getting drawn into it in the 8-bit era of Spectrum and C64. Can't think of a specific game but I remember playing stuff like text adventures, California games, Barbarian, IK+ and Operation Wolf.

 

[Vicegrip23]

Mario Kart on the Wii, played it at someone else’s house and we decided to get one ourselves

 

[Ytro]

I like retro games very much, i don't know, i feel like this games have more soul

 

[Reyman7775]

Tekken 3

 

[jagerfrogger]

Battle Brothers

 

[SilentHunter]

Tetris, back in 1985.

would have been the arcade right across the street from my grade school in about 1977 / 78 to only soon after make a new law that only people over 18 were allowed in between 6am & 4pm
anyone under was only allowed in after school hours cause everyone skipped school to hang out in the arcades LOL

and even back then it was expensive at $0.25 a game, you could buy a large fries & a pepsi or coke for $0,50 & that included the $0.10 deposit on the bottle & a large fries were huge, feed 2 people no problem
