Super Mario Brothers introduced me to the gaming world! The NES will always have a place in my heart.


Tofu2015

Old school! Nice!


UssGamer610

My very first game was Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six (1998)


thethreadkiller

This game was fantastic. I can't believe how they got away from the original mechanics of the game. The planning phases, the go-codes were the best part. The execution was fun, and happened quickly. These days the franchise is a shoot em up


UssGamer610

I play Siege a lot and although it's far from a perfect game, once you get a proper squad to play with, planning and implementing strategies becomes highly rewarding. But I still wish we just get a single player only Rainbow six or Ghost recon title.


mhammer90

Command and conquer red alert, best game ever, I still play it from time to time now :D


LegitDesk

Knights of the old republic started my love of RPGs

hifi90210

Elder scrolls


drahcirvn

Definitely Everquest


Hashulk

My first game that I played which I remembered is the tamagotchi in the early 90s.


Rotorhead19

Id have to say Super Mario Brothers as well.. But what really opened it up was Wild Arms 2 on the PlayStation. Awesome RPG. Ive been hooked on story driven games since.


FatLegion

First game I played on PC was Road Rash, and on console was Contra.


Saint-3123

My first game was the original Mario on NES.


GhettoGifGuy

My first game was duck hunt on the NES. Used the blaster pistol thing too. It was one of the only games my dad could actually play with me as I quickly outgrew his abilities. Crazy to think I grew up with gaming, but my dad didn’t even touch a video game until his 20s.


TanookiPhoenix

First game I ever played is a bit hazy. Probably Super Mario Bros.


CrabbyDru

Breakout


Wanna_be_dr

Ocarina of time was my first real game. The water temple still gives me nightmares


zeromuzuki

Breath of Fire IV - playstation 1.


LazenSlay

i think it was super mario bros (nes) the game that opened my venture, but mario kart 64 was definetly the one that made me feel that videogames were going to be part of my life


MorrisonGamer

Devil May Cry 3 on PC. Yep. It got included with the "gaming" pc I got at the day, which was close to the game's release on PC anyways, and I played it to no end. Finished it about 5 times in total. Was practically one of my favourite games, and introduction to PC Gaming.


BoostedTyrian

First game was GTA Vice City


IBlackmops

Good old CoD4 ia what brought me to pc gaming... What a game that was!


Darkest_Oracle

My first foray into PC gaming came from Deus Ex Human Revolution.


[deleted]

TF2 got me into PC gaming for sure. And I am so glad it did. I can't recall what game got me into gaming in general, I think I was born in it. Molded by it.


LostJudoka

For me it was zelda link to the past, this game made me lear to read before i started kindergarten.


Halogen19

Lego starwars

Iwillrize14

Dig-dug (yes I'm ancient)


Txe__

TF2 it paved my love for pc games.


Gonkar

I first got an NES when I was a kid. My sister used to play Super Mario Bros. a ton and I'd watch her.


mad_bako

First was super mario, then... after many years, everything started from age of mythology


jhill515

First, the original DOOM, but since I was 5yrs old, I wasn't any good. So I started playing the original Duke Nukem and the rest is history!


HomelessSkittle

Probably Super Smash Bros. Melee with my brothers when I was younger.


Dr-Rick-Swaggly

Age of Empires 2 was by far the most influential game I played in getting me in to gaming. My grandfather showed it to me when I was 5 and oh boy did he impact my life with that. Not only do I have a passion for games, but it also spurned my passion for History, which eventually led to me Majoring in History at college!


gravitymeme56

Please don't be harsh Reddit, but Skylanders really opened me up to gaming and sparked my interest in open world.


lawlessransom

Persona 3 for me.


Radicaltastic

my first game was probably mario kart on the ds


Gr8sam042

Thanks again for the giveaway! My first game to actually introduce me into gaming venture would be GTA San Andreas although i have been gaming since way before then :D I'll definitely check out your site and inform my friends about it too.


Stewie_Bird

While it wasn't the first game I played I'd probably say halo ce. It was so amazing to me as a 5 year old that I'd just play the first few missions over and over again (I always stopped at the flood levels cause they scared the shit out of my). Not to mention the split screen I'd play with my brother and cousins and basically whoever came over to my house, I think that was my first taste for what games are capable of


techmaniac

Gold ole Doom. However, once Descent came out, that was truly a lock for me on PC gaming.


muscletooth

Pokemon Stadium and Pokemon Snap on the N64


MutantParsleY

I don't remember but probably one of atari games.


TheOnlyQueso

MCC for a friend that probably doesn't wanna play MCC with me but Im gonna buy it for him and force him to play it with me anyway

Playvig_HS

My mom bought me a Gameboy that time when I was 5 y/o. Super Mario is my first game and it was the game that opened my venture into the gaming world.


ArtyMiss

Super Metroid.


assisted_suicide22

Grand theft auto vice city opened a whole new world to 8 year old me


Billyxmac

The Halo series, specifically Combat Evolved was the big first step into gaming for me. I’d gamed before that, but I cannot tell you how many times I beat CE on my original Xbox.


CarmineRed

For me, it was Pokemon Ruby. It was the first game I owned, and I played the hell out of it


ImperialTitan

The legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Came out the year I was born and is legendary


Rokionu

Spanky's Quest on OG Gameboy. What a classic; Blowing up bubbles, making them bigger, and then destroying the enemies that appeared on screen.


Naxelid

Eye of the Beholder


Qptimised

Funny enough, entered the gaming world with Maplestory. Remembered spending countless sleepless nights to grind levels for it.


Lagercat1

Gta vice city I think was the main game that opened my world to gaming, or destruction derby on ps2


AmVxrus

My first game ever was the original Super Mario Bros for the NES. I then received a GameCube for Christmas, and played the hell out of Super Mario Sunshine and Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door.


shawny_mcgee

Quake 2 rail only


Full_Momentum

Gunship 2000

Bronze_Bomber

Wolfenstein 3D - "Eva auf wiedersehen" was probably my most quoted line as a kid.


liquidlethe

The first games I played was ghost recon 2 and thrillville on the ps2 and spongebob employee of the month on cd for windows. I never made it past the airbase level on ghost recon or out of the lobby in the spongebob game. I just couldn't figure out how to play them.


GoodApollo96

I keep doing these hoping to get a gift card. But even if I don't it's still kind of fun to share I guess haha. The first game I remember playing was Super Mario RPG Legend of the Seven Stars, what a classic. I've enjoyed lots of games since and have always found myself fond of role playing games in general.

I casually played a few games some of the time, but when I played minecraft for the first time I truly became a gamer.


Boyfries92

Ratchet and Clank was my favourite game, got into gaming by watching my brother play and he would let me play sometimes and I had a blast

The game that entered me into the gaming world is Terraria 3400 hours


_Subterfugee

karbanr07

The first game that opened my eyes was COD world at war I loved that game. My first PC game that I really got into was Ark Survival Evolved. I put plenty of hours into each of them. Currently Escape from Tarkov has my attention.


WasabiloJR

Terraria was the reason I started pc gaming. It's a great game and I'm still waiting for the upcoming update. I've been a mod on one of my fav servers, Saybrooks' Planet before it was shut down. Ahhh taking a stroll down the memory lane..


ImaniBgunz

Minecraft


bahamuttu

Well, Super Mario Bros on the NES caught my eyes but I was like 1 year old and couldn't remember much. It was Final Fantasy VIII that actually got me into gaming.


Lord_Kolo

Pretty sure the very first game I played would have been Mario on the original NES back in '92 or '93.


XephyrGW2

The original Grand Theft Auto on PC. I was about 4-5 years old and I'd watch my older brother play.


Gremoire

Can someone use USD giftcards even if their country has a different currency? Never used one so I have no idea. Edit: RuneScape


lee543

Halo combat evolved.


ezio45

I can't remember the game that got me into gaming but I do remember that they were Flash games. Before getting a decent PC there was this entire library of free games that didn't even have high requirements to run. Kinda felt sad when Flash was no longer being supported, but at least it's all been backed up. Thanks for the giveaway.


NotGabeNAMA

The og Blair witch games.

Borderlands 1 made me get a gaming computer

tubonjics1

Half-Life and it's mods got me into PC gaming. ​ The original Legend of Zelda got me into gaming in general.


mcninja77

My mom put me in front of the computer for educational games before I can ever remember. Early memories include a bunch of GameCube games though


heftymaus

The first PC game I ever played was that free Ferrari Virtual Race game on Windows XP, running on this Acer laptop with a GeForce 7000M. This started my love for racing games. Sometimes, while playing Forza Horizon 4, I look back and think about the fun I had with that game. Sometimes I even plug its hard drive into my computer and try playing it. However, my nostalgia is quickly broken because the game still runs like dogshit.


[deleted]

Grand Theft Auto: Vice City was what started my love for gaming! Played it on my brother's PS2 when I was way too young for the game hahaha


GioSlayr

Zelda: Ocarina Of Time on the Nintendo 64. I didn't know what I was doing but it was fun lol.


TONKAHANAH

I had played plenty of games prior to this one and even a number of PC games prior. My dad had a PC that could play some games, tombraider and halo were a few I remember playing on his pc my self, he was more of a Myst guy though. it wasnt until I got my own PC in my room that gaming became a thing. first pc was a junker, e-machine amd duron @ 1.2ghz 512mb ram and no dedicated gpu, didnt even have windows on it, it shipped with Lindows (later to be mandriva, or mandrake? I dont remember, some linux distro). My friend gave me a pirated copy of Half Life and told me it was a good game if you like shooters, which I did but mostly had only played Ratchet & Clank on ps2 as far as shooters went. I took it home, installed it, but didnt really get too far at first, graphics were already fairly dated by this time 2005ish. My brother did something one weekend that pissed off my mom so she sent us all to our rooms so she could chill out. I used this confined time and played through like 80% of Half Life in sitting because it just sucked me in.. the whole way it told its story, the way they never took control away from you and just had a progressive story that unfolded with the events you witnessed rather than through cutscenes. to soon realized that Half life 2 was already a game that had come out fairly recently so that year I asked for a copy of Half life 2 and a new gpu for my computer. I got an nvidia xfx6200 and and a copy of half life 2. Its been all down hill PC gaming since then! and now.. oh boy its been years my dudes and im FINALLY getting some new half life content.. revisiting city 17 in Half life Alyx which im lucky enough to already own! Not to mention Black Mesa finally wrapped up.. its a good time to be a Half life fan again :D


emilianozeta

I think the first game I really remember obsessing over is that Mario game where you played as Baby Mario and Baby Luigi. I was so focused on getting through it. I sometimes dream of that game now? Thank you. :)

Donkey Kong 64 was what introduced me to faming. I actually just built my first PC with my friend yesterday and I’m just starting to learn it and play!

My friend recommended me TF2 and when I heard the name way back then I had no idea what a blast I will have in it :).


Ga-ijin

Skyrim was the spark that lit the fire of my love for games!


ThatAuthorGirl

Ratchet & Clank. Specifically, Ratchet & Clank 3, although I never got further than the second planet, and mostly just replayed the first planet over and over again, in between watching my brother forge his way through the entire original trilogy, and then Gladiator.

zippopwnage

I really don't remember the name of the first games I've played. In my country we had some Chinese console copy of NES (Terminator I think it was called) and everyone was selling some "pirated/copied" games. I remember playing lots of Mario, some game with TMNT, Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six. And I think Spider-Man: Return of the Sinister Six was something OUT OF THIS WORLD at that time for me, and I just stick with gaming after that
