Roller Coaster Tycoon Deluxe

Video games? Space Invaders on my mate's Atari 2600. Asked for (and got) one that very Christmas.

Board games? That's a tought one, but I reckon Talisman 2nd Edition, which my uncles had a copy of. Played maaaaany hours of that game.

Need for Speed Underground 2

First game I ever played was Donkey Kong country 1 at 4 years old and it shaped my hobbies up until recently. So definitly that

Monuments of Mars and later Command & Conquer were the two biggest.

I’ve been playing games since I was a kid, but I never got hooked to any until The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Now I’m playing the sequel, Tears of the Kingdom. They’re both fantastic games.

Super Mario Bros. circa 1987. I’m getting old.

Sid Meier's Civilization 1

Chopper Commando on the PC Jr and River Raid on the Atari 2600 were my first gaming loves.

The first game I played was probably Nintendogs on the GBA. The game that really blew me away was Super Mario Sunshine though.

Hello Kitty No Hanabatake I believe was the very first video game I played when I was like 4. PGA Tour Y2K was a banger too.

Adventure on the Atari 2600, also Pitfall and Chopper Command. Sort of fell out of it for a while until I played Halo. I've been on Xbox ever since

The first game I ever played was Mario Kart DS. I have been a Mario fan ever since.

Super Metroid when I was 5 years old. Brothers finally let me play it after a hernia surgery because they felt sorry for me. Got to sit on a comfy couch with an applesauce cup playing it.

Jackal baybee! And 1943. ♡

Pokemon Blue that I got from a girl my mom babysat. But I think really getting into the hobby would be minecraft when I started hosting servers for my friends in middle school. I owe my career to that game.

Final Fantasy

Am I a gamer? Not sure. But Oblivion really blew my mind. I pirated it not knowing anything about it, I just googled "best games of last year" and that thing was the suggested result.

I was hooked. Years afterwards when my situation changed I bought it on Steam, along with Skyrim. I don't think I've ever played the steam copy.

Moraff's Revenge

I think it was Tetris on the GameBoy, then Super Mario Land 2 and Kirby's Dreamland.

After the mandatory army service I stopped, studied and began gaming again with Portal 1&2.

Lode Runner on an old C64 clone. That was back in '86 I think, at a local computer center in Kyiv. They had other games too, like Karateka, Rescue on Fractalus, etc. But Lode Runner made such an impression on my little mind, and got me hooked on gaming.

Later on, in that same center a teacher was demoing various computer viruses. That one got me into programming.

I remember clearly that someone brought an Apple II to my preschool. This would be early/mid 80’s. It had a color monitor and they showed off some maze running math game (probably Number Munchers or something like that), but for some reason what really grabbed my little 3 (4?) year old mind was just this simple graphical program that displayed multicolored <<< shapes that lined up and spiraled outwards. I remember thinking, “hey it looks like my living room rug!”

But that’s when I realized that there was this magic box under the monitor. It was covered in buttons AND IT LET YOU CONTROL WHAT WAS SHOWING ON THE TV!! It set my little brain on fire and I’ve been hooked ever since.

Pokémon then was reinvigorated but Minecraft.

WoW - just prior to BC release

Wobbly Life on PC, coop with the kids, I really, really recommend that game for kids. Since then we mastered BOTW and TOTK on Nintendo Switch and now are working the ranks in Fortnite.

Zork 2 & for a graphical game, windham classics "below the root"

Sonic on sega was the first game I played, FF7 was the first game I loved.

Deathmaze 5000

Tunnels & Trolls: Crusaders of Khazan, Railway Tycoon, King's Quest IV: The Perils of Rosella and some car racing game with a Ferrari Testarossa in it (that wasn't Outrun)

Uh... probably one of my dad's Atari games. For PC games, though, it would be space sims, like the old Privateer or X-Wing. My dad loved them, and so I grew to love them, too.

Pole Position II on Atari 7800.
