Minecraft Demo version on my grandpa's iPad. It blew my little 5 year old mind.

My parents got me my first video game when I was 3 years old called Ready for Math with Pooh. I still remember some of the games!

I played games before, but my first obsession was Pokemon Blue, Diablo and 2 got me stuck into RPGs, and Halo CE got me into shooters.

Initially it was Animal Crossing: Wild World. One of my parents' coworker's daughter was babysitting me before school when I was in 3rd grade and she had the game on her DS and I fell in love with it. Still have the copy I got to this day. However, I wouldn't say I fully got into the hobby until The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess (Wii). TP especially got me to fall in line with video games as a storytelling medium artistically and narratively.

Pokémon Blue on a used Gameboy color when I was like 8. All downhill from there.

Chopper Commando on the PC Jr and River Raid on the Atari 2600 were my first gaming loves.

NFS 2SE

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

Need For Speed Underground 2 and Burnout 3. Got it as a combo deal for Christmas as a kid.

Ocarina of Time. There's, like, a whole world out there. I can walk around and see stuff. There are people to talk to. Hey, big owl. Scary monsters wtf. This shit's awesome.

Been chasing that feeling ever since :(

Frankly it's why I'm so into TTRPGs now. Video games can rarely give me a true sense of wonder, of exploring the unknown and unexpected anymore.

Does jump-start pre k count?

The first game I ever played was Mario on the NES, but the ones that really got me into gaming were Duke Nukem 3D and Quake on PC. It's been 27 years and I still enjoy them.

mario kart wiiiiiiiiiiiii

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.

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.

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

Freddy fish 🐠

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.

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

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).

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.

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.

Pole Position II on Atari 7800.

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.

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

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

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

Pong.

Sly Cooper.

Zillennials rise up.

Probably space invaders on the Atari 2600

I didn't have an Atari new I believe it was already an old system when me and my sister got it.

Minecraft, and then Cuphead again
