blyegg Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) So, I've been wondering... What game got you guys into gaming? Do you still enjoy that game even now? For me, my first ever game was Pokemon Firered... My cousin was playing on his GBA (I forgot which one) and I asked if I could play, and I was, like, mesmerized by the awesomeness. Then, few months later, I get a GBA SP for my birthday, with Firered. So, for me, Firered. How about you guys?

Garnef Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 The game that truly got me into gaming was Banjo Tooie.(I had played several games before that, but this was the first game that truly mesmerized me.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) I was watching my Mother play Sonic The Hedgehog 2 when I was 3 years old and I've been playing games ever since. Mario 3 and Contra were also early games that got me into the whole thing Edited October 5, 2013 by Jedi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Narga_Rocks Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Tetris. On a disk. I am THAT old. I'm older, nya nya. Or I think a long time back your age was revealed and I was older. I was brought into gaming by Apple2e gems like Sammy Lightfoot and Montezuma's Revenge. And some Mickey Mouse going to planets and moons in our solar system game.

Batter the Beast Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 (edited) A lot of games probably were my "gateway game" but the one I can remember the most was Kirby's Adventure. How the hell do I have difficulty with the boss rush in that game now when I could do it so well as a kid.

Sånıc Bÿm Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Sonic Adventure, when my uncle bought me a Sega Dreamcast as my very first game console. I was about 9 at the time. I know, I got into gaming relatively late compared to my peers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest meibum Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Perhaps Spyro 1 for the ps1. I was too young to really remember which game I first played :P I played a lot. I loved pokemon the most so, maybe that got me into it :P In short, people bought me video games I played them I've been playing all my life the end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Refa Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 Pokemon Red- Got me into games, but also made me way better at RPGs than other genres of games, which isn't good because RPG's are for nerds unless they come from CoD only MACHO people play that. Also RPG's take way more time to speedrun. Regardless, it was fun and rocked my world almost as much as the TV show did. Jazz Jackrabbit 2- Old PC game, made by the same people who made Gears Of Wars, even though the gameplay is more like Metal Slug crossed with Mario. And it had great PvP. Yeah, it was really awesome. Shining Force- I owned Sega Smash Pack 2 on the PC, and the first time I played this, I thought it was well, boring. Then I got sick of the other games because I sucked at them so much, even if Sonic 2 and Comix Zone were great fun even when I sucked. So I went back to this and started playing it...and playing it more and holy shit I was addicted (even though I sucked at it). Good times, good times. Sonic R- SHUT UP Crash Bandicoot 3/Spyro The Dragon- My friend loaned me these games when I had a PS2 with barely anything on it (except Treasure Planet, that was a great game too), and they really got me into console gaming and 3D platformers with their interesting worlds, unique levels, and surprisingly good soundtracks. Although I liked Crash Bandicoot more because I sucked at collecting all of the macguffins in Spyro. Kingdom Hearts- First Square game, really got me more interested in JRPGs and the like as a whole even though a) it was an action RPG and b) I played Pokemon like 10 years ago and that apparently didn't do it for me or something. Also I really was missing something more visceral with my other games, and KH delivered to me on that front. Also I like became really good at it or something I dunno.

There, there, you can show on this doll where "The Adventure" touched you. that's the only kind of changing life scenario I can envision that game being in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
