What game started it for you?

[Spellbinder]

It was a penguin game on my friend's Amiga or C64. I can't remember the name of the game or which system it was for because I was so young I didn't even know there were different systems.

And when I was six years old I got my own NES with Mario for Christmas.

James Pond, Robocop???

For me it was an arcade hame called Marble Madness.

And then i was hooked on games.

Bought me a C64 at first and played through a lot of games on it and then i upgraded to Amiga and jumped on to PC after that.

Wolfenstein 3D, Doom or Duke Nuken 3D, not really sure about what game I tested out first.

But Rainbow 6: Rogue Spear really got me into "serious" gaming.

The staging after each round is the best idea since the internets, cause you always get a few seconds to chat with the people you are playing with, so the fun factor gets alot higher etc.

Haha, I found it: Percy Penguin (C64).

First PC game I played was Star Goose.

This:

Quake 2 was the first game to get me into editing, although I never released anything, it was Half-Life that set the ball rolling properly

Worldcraft 2.0 *shudders*

[TomWithTheWeather]

Mario 1 got me started on consoles. Kings Quest got me started on PC. Wolf3D got me started on level editing.

PC gamer from the very start ^^

Tetris, Adventure, DigDug, Hard Hat Mack, Ys, had a bunch of them old 5¼ floppies.

On the 2600 it was all about Asteroids and Combat. Anyone play Yars Revenge?

To this day I consider Tetris the best game ever on any platform including board games and sports. I remember playing it on one of my dad's old portable computers, the kind that had a one-bit display at about 480x128. The vertical column had to *scroll* lol. Later when we had a Mac LC my dad would play Super Tetris two-handed (two games at once). Not terribly well but it was pretty hard core.

My first NES started it all... from that day, I was destined to become a gamer D:!

For PCs, it was the most greatest game of all time: Gorilla.bas for Qbasic!

that little apple game on the Apple II. It had a ramp sort of thing, and at the end were two boxes, and a small board you could move over one or the other. Then little apples, filled in or hollow, would come down the ramp and you had to put them in the right box.

My first console was an atari, I remember playing pitfall and enduro but I was like only 4 or 5

Then I saw a Master System and I was like "OMFG I NEED ONE". So after bothering my aunt for some time she got me one. BUT, she parked her car on the streets and went home to have some coffee. When she went back to the car again she found out that someone had broken into it and taken my master sytem

I had to wait like almost an year untill she get me one. On the master system I wasted all my time playing Sonic, Alex Kid (omg best evr~~) and many others. I didnt have a PC at that time but my aunt did, so I could play duke 3d, SIM CITY 2000 (wasted a lot of time on this one), road rash 3d, lode runner 95, corel (or some other graphical program, I dont remember), doom and skunny kart.

On the SNES I wasted a lot of time with my brother playing super street fighter 2 (blanka 4lyef), International Super Star Soccer Deluxe, Mortal Kombat 3 and Mario Kart.

Fiendish Freddie's Flying Circus started it all for me, when I was 4 and received the holiest of the holy: a Commodore 64. You can see the cheeky chap as my avatar, taking it back to grass roots.

Half-Life 1 got me into level design. Including Hammer on the disk was a stroke of genius.

[Section_Ei8ht]

Wolfenstein 3D is what started it all for me. My oldest brother got it the day it came out and I was hooked. I was about six when it came out.

First console I got into was a SNES. I was a PC gamer before I even knew about consoles. Didnt get an SNES until way after they came out. Super Mario World was my crack.

Duke Nukem 3D started the whole modding thing for me. Made levels and changed the enemy stats so you could kill the biggest, baddest boss with one pistol shot and made it so it took about 18 shotgun blasts to kill a pig cop.

[DaanO]

Commander Keen i think

[teeluu]

Oh Mortal Kombat III (Sega megadrive) for sure. I had a notebook (or whatever it was) where i had all the fatalities and animalities and everything else, ooh!

[JynxDaddy]

You're all brainwashed killing machines!
