Some cowboy game on the atari started it, but since I got a NES with super Mario bros I never stopped

First video game I remember playing was Super Mario World in about 1996, when I got a used Super Nintendo for Christmas. It blew my mind and I remember being so impressed when my older brother showed me how to get to Star World, haha

The very first game I can remember was Silk Worm on my dad's Amiga 500. After that, Shadow of the Beast and later, on PC, Command & Conquer.

Pokemon on my childhood 2DS was what got me interested in gaming, Minecraft was what brought me over to PC gaming (i had primarily played legacy console edition before this, but I wanted to mess around with mods and commands) and Portal 2 brought me to Steam.

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.

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.

My first "games" were the shareware episode of Doom and the HL demo disc. Didn't have money when I was a kid so I rarely got to play on arcade machines in laundry mats, kof and Metal Slug mostly. Love them still, but it wasnt until we got our first family pc in early 2000 and I got to experience those that really pushed me into games. I honestly have no idea where those discs even came from,

When I played pong on a Dec PDP 11 β€œmini” computer in the 1970s. I was hooked and spent my life playing many games. Into VR development these days Imagineering a Theme Park.

MacMac (or something like that, because I can't find it anywhere) It was a jump and run game on windows 95. You were a little ninja in a red trainings suit. you had to fight and run your way into a castle. first you were on the outside walls, than on the roof, inside. The final boss was a blue genie. Along the way you had to fight bats and knights, but you could only kick and punch.

As a little child I watched my father play Diablo. I was always allowed to chose the character he used. The first games I played were Titan Quest and Lego Star Wars, excluding some learning games.

While my first approaches were watching my father play doom and reading him Tomb Raider's strategy guide, as well as playing on my mother's Sega Mega Drive 2, my OWN first games were pokemon yellow and Homeworld, which came pretty much at the same time, and which shaped me all through. To this day I am still a PC and Nintendo gamer

The first one for me was Alley cat in the early 80s. Later test drive for DOS and Mario bros.

I saw links awakening on my brother's friends Gameboy, just walking around digging with the shovel was enough to get my interest,
