I honestly don’t remember because I was too young. However I do remember growing up on all the classics like Keen, Duke Nukem, Wolfenstein 3D, DOOM, Rise of the Triad, Test Drive (1 or 2? definitely 2), Street Rod 2. The list goes on
Pokémon Blue, you could say.
Also, RPG Maker. It’s wholesome seeing what people make.
Oh yes, the golden era of Horror RPG Maker Games. Ib, Yume Nikki, The Witch’s House etc
Combat on the Atari 2600.
Specifically the 1v1 tank battles.
Combat! I loved that, especially with bouncy bullets.
Super Mario Bros. A game that’s nearly as old as I am, that fully stands the test of time. From the very beginning of my gaming days, this and Duck Hunt got me into it. Dig Dug 2 was the first game I ever got angry enough to flip the tv the bird. Sonic and Tails probably was the second major influence on my life, from a video game perspective. After that I was a gamer and will never turn away from the cathode-ray light!
Doom, Wolfenstein 3D and Elite back in the mid-90s. Jagged Alliance 2 and Fallout 2 a few years later got me finally hooked.
Sonic Adventure and Rayman 2: The Great Escape on Dreamcast
I once stumbled into my parent’s computer room as a little 6 year old and saw my older brother playing Sim City 2000. That moment literally changed my life.
Before that, I had seen my parents on the computer, but they were always just emailing or faxing stuff. I thought computers were boring machines for adults to do paperwork on.
The day I saw my brother playing Sim City on the computer was the day I realized it could do something awesome.
That was well over 20 years ago, and I’ve been a PC gamer ever since.
I still remember that damned theme song!
A fellow child of DOS! My earliest memory is of playing: sango fighters, pang, and comet Buster’s with my two older brothers
Just found out that there’s a remake!
Too bad it doesn’t run on Linux 🥲
We have a Home Movie of me at 3 years old playing Tetris on my cousin’s Gameboy. I don’t remember a time that video games weren’t a part of my life.
The first game I remember realy clicking for me was Donkey Kong Country. I can still play that game off muscle memory alone.
Definitely has to be full throttle. Such great games by lucas arts back then
Does anyone remember Outlaws?
Surprised that I cant find it in the comments allready: Definitly Minecraft
Been playing Nintendo since I could remember. That’s like everyone else’s story.
However, I took a break. 1st kid was born and I wanted to focus on them. 5 years, no gaming… But Factorio… You see, that’s where the trouble began to grow. That factory. That damned factory.
edit: fellow engineers, check the FFF blog, they’ve released news of the expansion!
Can’t remember if it was Baldur’s Gate 1 or Morrowind when I was a kid.
Prince of Persia on our Family PC (Intel 486).
I have played this game more than I’d like to admit. It was difficult, but not impossible. Just an awesome game, and quite good for its time
Same. I don‘t think 8 year old me got even past the first couple of levels but it sure didn’t stop me from trying.
flashgames if it counts
