Cruisin' the world. Would sit and drive for hours

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

Sonic on sega was the first game I played, FF7 was the first game I loved.

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.

In early 2000s, I got hooked into an online MMORPG called Tibia with some friends. At it's peak it had something like 70k players online. It was cutthroat, if you died you'd lose hours and hours of progress. I was hooked at one point doing 14h days. That experience has been impossible to recreate in adulthood.

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

Moraff's Revenge

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

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

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)

Wobbly Life on PC, coop with the kids, I really, really recommend that game for kids. Since then we mastered BOTW and TOTK on Nintendo Switch and now are working the ranks in Fortnite.

My uncle showed me the doom 1 demo when I was 5.

Been fucked up ever since.

Civilization 1.

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

Jackal baybee! And 1943. ♡

Zork 2 & for a graphical game, windham classics "below the root"

Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan, Railway Tycoon, King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella and some car racing game with a Ferrari Testarossa in it (that wasn't Outrun)

Schatztaucher

OG Fallout.

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.

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

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.

Bubble Bobble

Elder scrolls V: Skyrim. I got into gaming at a pretty high age(31yo) even though I had played a bit when I was younger, but I wouldn't consider myself a gamer before Skyrim.

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.

I saw links awakening on my brother's friends Gameboy, just walking around digging with the shovel was enough to get my interest,

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

I played a lot of games beforehand, but one(s) that kicked off the three decades of gaming were Lufia and the Fortress of Doom, and Final Fantasy 4(was 2 here in the US). Honestly don't remember which one I played first.
