I've been into gaming since as long as I remember. My dad played halo 2 when I was a baby. First game I played tho was Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga.

Bastion by Supergiant Games.

I'm actually not sure how precisely it happened, but a good decade ago as a teenager I somehow stumbled upon a torrent of the game. I didn't really know anything about the game, but I distinctly remember reading the description and looking at the art and being like "this is so cool", and then being like "this is even cooler" again when it turned out Rucks basically narrates the entire game with that deep hopeful voice.

And that was that; my early gaming continued with things like Hawken, Detective Grimoire and Machinarium, but Bastion definitely holds a special place in my heart.

More than a decade later, I've played (bought) and replayed basically all of Supergiant's games several times. Such a wonderful studio. Darren Korb is a fantastic composer as well, just doesn't miss a single vibe :)

Cruisin' the world. Would sit and drive for hours

Edit: just looked it up and it's actually called Cruis'n World

Jackal baybee! And 1943. ♡

first game I got into was Pokemon Blue, but Guild Wars is what turned me into a gamer

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

Doom II was probably the first game I ever saw and it made me ask for a computer. Got a hand-me-down pretty much the next day.

It wasn't the first game I played, nor the first I was really drawn in by but Ultima IV on the Master System just seemed like a miracle. There could be an entire world with a rich history, populated by diverse characters where I got to step into the role of the protagonist of a story like in a fantasy novel only I had the freedom to make my own choices about how to respond to the story, the gameplay rewarded careful thinking over twitchy reflexes and the game world was so big it expanded into real world artefacts. I had no idea of the potential of the medium until I encountered that game but it all unfolded before me once I had.

Hello Kitty No Hanabatake I believe was the very first video game I played when I was like 4. PGA Tour Y2K was a banger too.

First game I ever played was Donkey Kong country 1 at 4 years old and it shaped my hobbies up until recently. So definitly that

Believe it or not, Angry Birds.

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

Sid Meier's Civilization 1

Carmageddon, it was the first 3d game I had played and I spent all my time at my grandparents house playing it. I still regard it as one of the best games ever made.

Motocross Mania on the PS1 was the first game that legitimately hooked me. I can still hear the menu music when I think about it, and it's been 15 years since I've played it. Team Fortress 2 got me into PC gaming and I barely ever use consoles now.

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

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

When I played pong on a Dec PDP 11 “mini” computer in the 1970s. I was hooked and spent my life playing many games. Into VR development these days Imagineering a Theme Park.

Spiderman shattered dimensions

Played it half-way as a kid

That or nexuiz on my family linux desktop

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

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.

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

The first game I ever played was Mario Kart DS. I have been a Mario fan ever since.

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)

While my first approaches were watching my father play doom and reading him Tomb Raider's strategy guide, as well as playing on my mother's Sega Mega Drive 2, my OWN first games were pokemon yellow and Homeworld, which came pretty much at the same time, and which shaped me all through. To this day I am still a PC and Nintendo gamer

MacMac (or something like that, because I can't find it anywhere) It was a jump and run game on windows 95. You were a little ninja in a red trainings suit. you had to fight and run your way into a castle. first you were on the outside walls, than on the roof, inside. The final boss was a blue genie. Along the way you had to fight bats and knights, but you could only kick and punch.

As a little child I watched my father play Diablo. I was always allowed to chose the character he used. The first games I played were Titan Quest and Lego Star Wars, excluding some learning games.

Freddy fish 🐠

The Little Big Planet series.

Quake 3 was my first but Ultima Online is the one that made me fall in love.

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

Need for Speed Underground 2

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).

Lemmings or Descent, I don’t remember.
