What was the video game that got you into gaming?

[Tomas Elliot]

Wait wait scratch what I said earlier: Before the SNES, there was The Secret of Monkey Island on my mom's PC! How the hell could I forget Guybrush Treepwood?

Sonic 2 is the earliest game I have memories playing. I never got past Wing Fortress Zone as a kid, but I still played it for hours on end.

Later on I started playing a larger variety of different games, including some RTSes on my brother's computer like Red Alert 2 and Stronghold, and some other games on the Gamecube, like Pokemon Colosseum, Starfox Assault, and Super Mario Sunshine.

Hmm, the first game I played was Ocarina of time for the N64. And then my dad made sure, I got to play all the awesome N64 games. Like Mario Party 1 and 2 with family, Banjo Kazooie, and Pokémon Stadium. So it is more the N64 that got me into gaming and OOT as first game ^^

The first games I actually remember playing, aside from maybe a few of those kids' games, are Settlers 3, and Populous: The Beginning, when I was like 5 or 6. Later on, we got a DS, and PMD: Blue Rescue Team was the game that got me into Pokemon.

Pokemon LeafGeen, my brother had FireRed and always won. Damn older brothers.

[Vinny]

Hmm, I don't remember exactly.

I'm pretty sure I remember me playing Golden Axe.

I might have had other experience with games before that one, but it's the first game I remember. And I've loved games since the first game I played, so I'm pretty sure that's what got me into gaming.

Donkey Kong Country for the Gameboy Advance. I even wrote my college essay about my experiences with it!

[Another Felix]

Crash Bandicoot Warped and Ape Escape were my first games.

[Blanchette]

My first game was Pokemon Yellow but Final Fantasy X was the one that showed me how magical games can be

[Marcello]

I remember watching my Dad play Pokemon Gold when I was 5 or 6, and it fascinated me, and I think the first game I ever properly played was Pokemon Crystal, which I got along with a gba for christmas or a birthday. Loved videogames ever since.

[Sheep]

The first video game that I can remember playing is Star Wars Rogue Squadron. Released in the golden year of 1998 when I was a full 5 years old. Starting early.

[Bearadactyl]

It was either The Legend of Zelda or Super Mario Bros. 2 on the NES that got me in to it; I can't remember which specifically. The first game I ever played was actually The Legend of Zelda.

[Damage]

First video game I played was Pong. Oldie but a goodie.... says the hundred year old. Game one I can't remember whether it was Sonic the hedgehog or Super Mario world on SNES. Then I played FF7 some time later and had no idea how RPGs worked let alone JRPG.

[Shadow Tack]

I'm not too sure, but it was likely either some Mario game or my first Pokemon game, Pokemon Ruby.

[Zumi]

Pokemon Blue, i think. And Super Mario Bros Deluxe edition for the gameboy color. i was like 4 when i got both. my parents made a Mistake for now i am massive gaming garbage and nothing can stop me

[Baczoni]

The game that got me into gaming was Tales of Pirates http://top2.igg.com/

[Joker]

I'd like to say Pokemon Yellow, but honestly it was probably Donkey Kong Country. That was my shit as a child.

[Okami]

I used to play my brother's Pokemon Pinball, that was amazing. I think what really got my interest was either Melee or Animal Crossing Population: Growing when my parents got my brother and I a Gamecube.

[Loyalitie]

I started with Sonic 3 or Golden Axe

Idk the name of my first console (I was four and I didn't cared for what console was, for me it was all videogame), nor my parents remember.

But when I was 6-8 I had a Playstation 2 but it broke ;-;

Then my dad gave me a NDS with Platinum, that's how I started playing Pokémon.

[Tringus]

I know I said this before on a couple threads, but Donkey Kong 64 was what got me hooked into gaming. DANKEY KANG FTW!

[Felicity]

I think the actual answer for me is Oblivion. Yes, the elder scrolls one. I used to watch my aunt play it when I visiited her. Probably explains my affinity for enjoying youtube videos as well.

[Malfaria]

Pokemon ruby, enough said.

[Daann]

I don't exactly remember, but it was probably either rayman or crash bandicoot 3: warped on ps1

[Sunireic]

Playing baldur's gate 1 with my father when I was 7 or 8 years old was my first step into gaming.

I still remember my mother telling us to stop playing computers game and do real father and son activities xD
