Video Games What game really got you involved into gaming?

SSB for N64. Classic.

 

The first game I remembered playing was Super Mario 64...AWSOME!!!

 

Sonic the hedgehog for sega. I would just spend hours trying to beat it. I also remeber Pokemon....WOW I spent two whole days playing it...then I was hooked on games....and still am! Oh, and the one with knuckles is Sonic and Knuckles...I had that one too

 

shinning force for sega and after burner 2 (?)

 

I had a few games for a second hand NES I had when I was 6 or 7 years old, among them being Contra, Captain Skyhawk, and a couple others (those were my favorites ), but it wasn't until I later got a SNES and later a copy of Final Fantasy II (as I knew it then) that I really got into gaming.

I can tell you of numerous occasions I'd skip school to play video games all day while my mom was at work. One time I came back after three days away and we had a ratio test, and I'd missed ALL of the study work on it. I didn't even know was a ratio was!

Ahh, good times. Good times...

 

I started gaming with the Atari 2600 I played cool games like Indiana Jones, adventure, E.T. (Don't ask - i thought it was cool at the time), and a very nice one about a dolphin and a mermaid. Forgot the name.

Then we bought a Commodore 64, so I could play TONS and TONS of new games! Aztec challenge, Aliens, Project Firestart, Summer Games, Summer Games II, winter games, Gateway to Aphsai, and many others!

Then I got a PC and played Prince of Persia (my favorite!) and then Lemmings, and the Indiana Jones games, yay!.

 

As far as systems go the Nintendo that space ship game. We are talking old school here. Plus Zelda and Link. AND that track game with the pad.

For a computer it would the 286. Enough said there. Well it was that tomb game.

Also I remember just the keyboard hook up. We played tic tac toe.

As far as arcades go I played asteriod because we had it. Still do. I so want it now.

All those contributed to my gaming.

I must say all you people are LUCKY to have what you have now. 10 to 15 years ago it was bad.

 

I first had a SNES, but I wasn't too interested with the games.

I got the Sega Genesis later on though, along with Sonic 3, and Mortal Kombat (was giving such a young kid a ated M game bad for health? You guess! ), and had loads of fun.

Mine was Zelda: Ocarina of Time for the N64. It took me 3 years to beat but it was worth it, that it was.

 

Thank you for reminding me, I had a Wheel of Fortune game, as well as Monopoly and a couple others when I had a 286, waaaay back when I was like, 5.

I remember liking the games so much I kept Monopoly when I got a newer computer (my old one, the Windows 95 1 gig Pentium 133 etc)

But this computer is too advanced to run them

 

It was either the vector graphics vga star wars game i played on a 286 or "ranma 1/2" on the superfamicom

 

Kung-fu for NES was good too. Punch, Kick, Jump Hoo Hoo hah hah hah.

 

it was secret of mana on the snes ... yea that game started me on gaming, i've loved rpg's ever since
