when I was a kid country I lived in didn't have many video games and I didn't have any except I saw my cousin with a PS1 playing things like crash games and resident evil and played those a little, and my other cousin had a PC with red alert and few other games this was like idk 2001-2002. and they later got a PS2 we played a lot of stuff when we went there.

Out of curiosity, was this the first time you were introduced to Rygar? I knew about it from the arcades. When I found out it was on NES as well, I had to get it. Not the exact same port obviously, but still awesome.
Or maybe I was just happy I had Rygar at home
Edit: I just read your blog, and obviously you never played the arcade version. Interesting indeed. Quite surprised you never finished the game!

I first started playing videogames when I was 3, playing with my brother’s PS1 and GBC, and using the family computer.
No idea what my first game was (again, I was 3), but my most distant memories are either playing Lego Island on PC or playing Saltwater Sport Fishing on PS1.

Super Mario Bros got me into gaming at 4 years old, but Earthbound got me into JRPG's at 11 years old, and that's when I knew I was going to play games even when I'm 70.
Something like this if memory serves me correctly
Absolute shite of course but we're talking almost 40 years ago.
That looks like something that belongs in a hospital.
Never heard about this game, but that poster is fantastic.

I got a Sega Master System in Xmas or '89 or '90. It came with Alex Kidd in Miracle World, which I loved right from the start.
Prior to that, I'd heard the odd kid at school talking about Double Dragon etc, but was never that interested in video games. I still loved my GI Joes too and assumed video games would be too expensive to start wishing for.

The rogue like game Tower of Doom on the Intellivision was supposed to be D&D licensed also, but something fell thru. Great game too, btw.

I’m old, so mine is pac man, it’s the first video game I can remember back in the day’s when we didn’t have home video games (most people didn’t)
There was a pac man cab in our local chip shop, I remember watching people playing it, there was always a queue most of the time it was older lads playing and you would be lucky to get a turn, when we did it usually involved dying very quickly followed by regretting the loss of your 10 pence that could have been used to buy 10 penny sweets!

Tetris - unfortunately for me it was short lived.
I was given a Gameboy with Tetris as a present by an absent Father that I never saw. Mother decided that gaming wasn't good for children so took it away from me and sold it on to someone else after a month. Bitch probably did it just to spite my Dad lol
It wasn't until I was a teenager and had moved out from Mums to go and live with Dad that I really got into gaming thanks to Metal Gear Solid on the PS1.

MGS1 would have been hard as fuck for a kid with no gaming clues.
Im going to press X to doubt on that one.

By the time MGS came out I was 14/15.
The Gameboy is what I received as a child.
I had played a few games at friends houses before MGS so it wasn't my first ever experience with games (I didn't own any consoles myself). MGS was just the first game that I really got into and was obsessed by.

My story started with Sonic 1 for Master System. No matter how short it was compared to Mega Drive(got one years later), I still believe its better.
From that time the games I got where scaling harder. From that point also I didn't get what most of things meant to me because they were all in english language. Then my dad gave me a dictionary and soon I became to understand almost anything in games, even though I was small.

I always gamed and all but the ones that sealed the deal were DK country, Kirby super star, Yoshi's island. The one that had me obsessed about gaming : Diablo 2 W/ Expansion. ever since I have been lookig at games as a primary source of entertainment.

First game is apart of being a gamer, I assume a AAA game got everyone into gaming. Sega Gensis and SNES were what was happening when I was growing up age 3-4,

Titanic was called the Ship of Dreams, and it was. It really was.
Hard to answer. First game I ever played a videogame was Frogger, probably.
But the game that really made me a gamer was either Sonic 1 or Golden Axe II for the Genesis. Actually the day I got the Genesis for my birthday, it came with Sonic and we went out and rented Golden Axe II.
I think, if I had to pick one, it would be Golden Axe II. It just grabbed me faster(no pun).

I played when I was a kid but not too much. What really got me into gaming was the leap in maturity I felt Sony brought to the industry with the ps1. There was no more 8 bit music and sports games used real stats etc. The ps2 was the first console I bought and never looked back. I remember putting in GTA 3 with my buddy and we were blown away. I knew I made the right choice.

Born on the eastern side of the Berlin Wall, there were no video games in my life till 1990... with 5/6 I think, I got my first glimpse on some cheap Atari-knockoff... so yeah, that classic 32 games in one thingy was my first (and this was looooong years until my first "own" gaming system... my own cheap knockoff Atari) and I got hooked immediately... nothing in my entire live had the power to change that.

I'm the same with the super marios and duck hunt. That would be my earliest memory of gaming but it would have to be Final Fantasy 7 that got me hooked. I played that game when we were getting our ps1 modded. I didn't get the game until a while later though. It also could have been that tony hawk demo with that goldfinger superman song. Played that thing a ridiculous amount of times.
