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.

Itβs been a hobby ever since the beginning, I think. First games I played were Spyro and Crash Bandicoot on the PS1. Went on to play the sequels, and eventually got into RPGs with Legend of Dragoon and Final Fantasy 9. Hooked ever since.
Elder scrolls V: Skyrim. I got into gaming at a pretty high age(31yo) even though I had played a bit when I was younger, but I wouldn't consider myself a gamer before Skyrim.
I can't remember a particular first game. Nethack, various MUDs, Descent 1, Starcraft, and Unreal Tournament (1999) were all reasonably early.
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
I remember clearly that someone brought an Apple II to my preschool. This would be early/mid 80βs. 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, βhey it looks like my living room rug!β
But thatβs 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 Iβve been hooked ever since.
WoW - just prior to BC release
Believe it or not, Angry Birds.
Deathmaze 5000
Pilot wings 64 and mario 64 played at my friends house. Only access to games prior to that were Prince of Persia, Myst and spooky-ass Iron Helix on an old Mac II and they were not particularly exciting for a pup of that age.
The first game I ever played was Mario Kart DS. I have been a Mario fan ever since.
I saw links awakening on my brother's friends Gameboy, just walking around digging with the shovel was enough to get my interest,
Commander Keen in my early years. But the first game that really got me into 3D gaming was probably Acclaim's ShadowMan. It's still an absolute masterpiece. Great visuals, amazing storytelling...and that creepy soundtrack is just burned into my brain. Probably had some nightmares from that when I was a kid. π
