What game was your first proper game, that made you carry on playing? Yes, your age will be very obvious when you post ![]() Mine was probably C&C Red Alert, then when my parents got our first PC, I got given Age of Empires. Which started me off on a good foot! Baldur's Gate got me into RPGs. |
Your first game that got you into gaming?

Registered 16 years agoMario Bros 3 on the NES. I couldn't get past world one on my own at the time. Used to enjoy watching my brother play it though. I must've been 4 or 5 (I was born in '87, no idea when SMB3 came out!) -

Space Invaders, in the arcade. Circa 1978. :-/
Seeing a Spectrum running Chequered Flag in 1982 was probably the 'revelation' moment, though - perhaps all this was possible in the comfort of your own home!
The Spectrum version of Manic Miner's not impossible to finish, btw. I used to be able to do it, too. Without cheating. -
Im the few 7 year olds that started with CS 1.6 and found himself dreaming about shooting people and dying in those few positions cs had.Not to be mistaken i played CS in a pub with my cousin.Alto i wasnt realy able to move the fregin mouse and move the player in the same time i managed shoot my cousin down a few times :3.Then my parents got me a PC ... i played starcraft 1 then warcraft then a my cousin bought me a N64 and we rocked Mario party.My first game with out blood and shooting hookers in the head ^^ -
The very first thing I had for gaming was a Vectrex, I hadn't even started school at the time. -
Think it might have been Elite. Can't remember what I used to play it on though.
