First VG You've Played?

The very first video game I remember playing is Hexen. I got killed constantly and spent most of the time fleeing for my life lmao.

First RPG was Diablo on my uncle's save. I thought it was awesome but I was also terrified bc I was a wee babbu and there were shadows and skeletons and OMINOUS MUSIC.

I also had a Gameboy Advance and a handful of games on that, mostly Super Mario Bros tho. My brother had GTA and The Sims and I'd steal his PS2/PC and play those bc hookers and hot tubs and death.

And I remember some game with a mouse pirate(??) that I loved.

I was in my 20s when I started gaming (when I was growing up, we had 3 channels on TV and the games we played were like Clue and Monopoly, lol).
My first game was Sim Earth, and I moved from there to Sim City, Sim Theme Park, and then Sims. And I still really love management sim games. I currently have Planet Coaster and Cities Skylines, but I haven't spent as much time with those because distracted by other games.
My first non-sim game was Diablo, and I went from that to Fable. And I still really only play sims and RPGs.

Oh, I almost forgot about Myst, I played I think all of the Myst games.

My first "console" was an original Nintendo Gameboy that my mum bought secondhand from a friend's daughter.

I got a few random, shitty games with it. I only really remember Bart Simpson's Escape From Camp Deadly.

Lol.

GTA 1
When I was 3 

Oregon Trail on apple II


Jazz Jackrabbit and Wolfenstein 3D DOS 



I still have my gigantic yellow gameboy for donkey kong and my transparent purple gameboy color for all my pokemanz games.

The first one I remember, anyway, was Vectorman for Sega Genesis.

The only video game available in 77 in France: Pong. It was fun, for real (and hard, but fun, but sooooo hard, but sooo fun ^^). My mum and I spent hours on sundays playing this 'game'.

I think it was Mathblasters, actually. I was awful at math but very interested in video games, so the concession my parents made was that I could have educational games.

The very first game (outside of school settings -- Sesame Street math games, Oregon Trail, etc) that I remember playing and getting into was Lemmings.



This was a PC puzzle game where you used the lemmings to get through the level. They are essentially drones, and there are different lemmings with different jobs. You might need builders to make a bridge, or diggers to dig a path, or suicide bombers that explode to make a hole. If you became trapped, you could end the level by nuking them all.


I played some Mario on SNES, but I never owned one, so my experience with that is spare. I had an original Gameboy and played quite a bit of that. I didn't consider myself a "gamer" until I got an N64. Even then, it took The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time for me to really become obsessed.

For the computer, my first MMO was the Korean MMO, Ragnarok Online, which I played obsessively for a couple of years; like most K MMOs, it was a total grindfest. Then I played World of Warcraft and become lost in that for about 10 years.

My first introduction to Bioware games was Neverwinter Nights, which I played a lot of, all expansions, and really enjoyed. It was the first game that also got me into modding. The community content was pretty awesome and there were some really high quality player-made modules, complete with voice acting, that were very good.
