First a gameboy advance with three separate games, Tekken, sonic, and f-zero. Then Nanosaur on a very old mac my dad had and his Sega Dreamcast with a few dozen titles. I still think they'd be fun to revisit today!

Legend of Zelda 2 on NES. I could not get enough at 4 years old even though I kept getting killed.

The very first game I can remember was Silk Worm on my dad's Amiga 500. After that, Shadow of the Beast and later, on PC, Command & Conquer.

I have these faint memories of watching my uncles play The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends for NES when I was super little. That's probably where I first got an interest. But then the first game that I actually played myself that got me truly hooked was Super Mario World for SNES.

Still one of my favorite games ever.

Commander Keen in my early years. But the first game that really got me into 3D gaming was probably Acclaim's ShadowMan. It's still an absolute masterpiece. Great visuals, amazing storytelling...and that creepy soundtrack is just burned into my brain. Probably had some nightmares from that when I was a kid. 😄

Some cowboy game on the atari started it, but since I got a NES with super Mario bros I never stopped

The first game I played was probably Nintendogs on the GBA. The game that really blew me away was Super Mario Sunshine though.

I'm not a gamer per se, just a casual, but Rome: Total War (the original one with the Barbarian Invasion Expansion, not the Rome 2 trash)

I remember clearly that someone brought an Apple II to my preschool. This would be early/mid 80’s. It had a color monitor and they showed off some maze running math game (probably Number Munchers or something like that), but for some reason what really grabbed my little 3 (4?) year old mind was just this simple graphical program that displayed multicolored <<< shapes that lined up and spiraled outwards. I remember thinking, “hey it looks like my living room rug!”

But that’s when I realized that there was this magic box under the monitor. It was covered in buttons AND IT LET YOU CONTROL WHAT WAS SHOWING ON THE TV!! It set my little brain on fire and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Moraff's Revenge

Deathmaze 5000

I can't remember a particular first game. Nethack, various MUDs, Descent 1, Starcraft, and Unreal Tournament (1999) were all reasonably early.

Adventure on the Atari 2600, also Pitfall and Chopper Command. Sort of fell out of it for a while until I played Halo. I've been on Xbox ever since

It’s been a hobby ever since the beginning, I think. First games I played were Spyro and Crash Bandicoot on the PS1. Went on to play the sequels, and eventually got into RPGs with Legend of Dragoon and Final Fantasy 9. Hooked ever since.

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.

Pokemon on my childhood 2DS was what got me interested in gaming, Minecraft was what brought me over to PC gaming (i had primarily played legacy console edition before this, but I wanted to mess around with mods and commands) and Portal 2 brought me to Steam.

Super Metroid when I was 5 years old. Brothers finally let me play it after a hernia surgery because they felt sorry for me. Got to sit on a comfy couch with an applesauce cup playing it.
