smgrinus Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Which system brought you into gaming? For me, the old AD&D games on DOS hooked me in. The Dark Sun setting was especially addictive. Edited June 8, 2018 by grinus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jotari Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I played the Super Nintendo before the Nintendo 64, but that's like very vague half form memories era of life. Nintendo 64 has to get the props for really selling me on the medium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too had Bob the Builder for PS1. (And a Dora the Explorer game for my sister.) I believe my first video game ever was Disney's Tarzan. But Ratchet & Clank was the video game series that truly made me love gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karimlan Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I would have put stuff like the TRASH (TRS80) and the various Ataris here if I could. I remember my mom and uncle playing games from those consoles back when I was about three years of age. I started my own foray into video games with the Famicom/NES though.

Ashpho Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I grew up with the PS2 and NES so I went between Super Mario Bros at my grandparent's house and Crash Bandicoot or NBA Street at home. Sonic Heroes was another really fun game I had for it so I guess the PS2 is what really got me into games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Super Nintendo for me. It was my first system and I played a good number of games on it. My favorites were Yoshi's Island and Mario Paint and still are. Though sadly since Mario Paint required the mouse accessory, I can no longer play it. Our mouse disappeared years ago.

You could buy a new one relatively cheaply I'm sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anacybele Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Just now, Jotari said: You could buy a new one relatively cheaply I'm sure. Yeah, I could, but I just never felt like it I guess. And the mousepad that came with the thing is gone too, I forgot to mention. Though I'm not sure if that was really needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 It was the Wii. I had my Wii since the year it came out but it didn't truly bring out my love for games until 2011-2012 when i really started getting into gaming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tryhard Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 PC really did have a lot in the late 90s and early 2000s. Most of my favourite games are from that time. I played almost no consoles until the PS1 (and really, mostly until the PS2). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cute Chao Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 (edited) It's weird. I had a Gameboy and played on my siblings' SNES and Megadrive, before getting a PSX to share with my other siblings, but I wouldn't say they started my love of gaming. They only really got me into Pokémon as an obsession, and I just played on the random games that came with it (Tomb Raider, Driv3r, etc) on occasion, but I wasn't truly in love with gaming. The Gamecube is what truly got me into gaming. It was the first home console that was only mine and I had saved up to pay half of it while getting the other half for my birthday. Originally, I got it just for Colosseum and Sonic Adventure 2, but since I now had this gorgeous new console, I wanted to find other games to play on it. Once I started expanding my horizons there, I then began looking at games for my GBA, too, which had only really had Pokémon and a few random things on. Then I expanded my PSX and PS2 collection and became a huge JRPG fangirl. It took about a year or so after getting my GC to discover Fire Emblem and become obsessed (starting with the GBA ones and branching out). So yup. First console I ever played was a NES. Console that I first owned was a Gameboy Pocket. Console that kicked off my love of gaming was the GameCube :D Edited June 9, 2018 by Cute Chao Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reality Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I had a namco plug and play with Dig Dug, Rally X, Pac Man, and Galaga on it. Also had tons of cereal box give away discs (Roller Coaster Tycoon and Backyard Kids Soccer come to mind) I eventually had GBC and then the Nintendo 64 as my first console, probbably 2 months or so apart. Granted we had like only 6 games for like the first 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
