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

You’re making me feel old. My first game was Carnival on the Atari 2600…

Pokémon Blue, you could say.

Also, RPG Maker. It’s wholesome seeing what people make.

Oh my god. I was on that rm2k/2k3 hype train for so long. Never put out anything of value, or anything really, but I had so much fun doing it.

Pong was my first game but not what got me “into” games. That would be Zork by Infocom, played on my beloved Computer 64.

Combat on the Atari 2600.

Specifically the 1v1 tank battles.

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!

Ah yes I too am a gamer of a certain vintage. Duck Hunt was great. I also had the Top Gun game for my NES.
