So guys, what is it that introduced you to the world of gaming?

[App4that]

console, Atari 2600

 

PC, Apple II plus and Load Runner

[rcorkum]

Apple 2 with tape drive at school then a vic-20 at home.

[Jtalk4456]

probably a combination of Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 for the PC and whatever demo was playing on the consoles in Walmart

[ZcanKal]

The Nintendo 64 was my first ever gaming console (even if I was born 5 years after it's release) but my first ever true gaming experience where I did something other than mash buttons was New Super Mario for the DS on my extremely breakable DS Lite.

[Agonizel]

It started with my older sister's SEGA (Sonic) and PS1 (Crash bandicoot). Then I got the old 1989 Gameboy from my cousin. After that, I went to the PS2 & PS3 until I ascended to the PCMR because of the desillusion that was the """""""""""""next gen"""""""""""""" consoles. Diablo 3 is the main reason why I got a PC actually. Great memories

I'd rather know the 1st gaming 'community' people were apart of. Gaming opened my eyes only so much. Online Communities is really what blew my mind. 

[Minorika]

Mine was when my mother bought me my first PS2 and a copy of Ratchet and Clank 3.

One of my best memories.

[Drak3]

N64 and PC games for kids.

[Ithanul]

 

MS-DOS games.

They looked like this:

 

 

 

 

Being six years old an playing a game like that....so much getting my butt owned.

 

This the one though, that got me into RPG type games:

Who here remember having a high dislike of that stupid rat in the first area.

[hardtofindinthefuture]

3D pinball space cadet of course! 

[8uhbbhu8]

Console stuff and handhels - Original Gameboy with that amazing dotmatrix screen.  First games I played on it were Metroid II Return of Samus, Super Mario Land 2 6 golden Coins, Donky Kong, and Tetris  Love those games. Then it was a super nintendo, and a gameboy advance  

 

For PC it was probably Pajama Sam on a Pentium 3 pc running Windows ME I got from my uncle  

[ElZamo92]

I really don't know. Maybe it was my grandma's old Atari 2600 or my aunt's NES, but maybe it could have been Doom on my grandpa's PC. The first gaming device I had was a Nintendo 64, so I'm going to go with that,

[Soppro]

A light blue Nintendo DS Lite was my introduction to gaming.

 

I remember stuffing around on Brain Training and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Darkness, but I what I really wanted was Pokemon HeartGold ... 

I think my first PC game was some 'Cars' racing game lol

PlayStation One with the original Grand Theft Auto & Gran Turismo.

PSP

 

This page is indirectly revealing people's age isnt it?

well you can be a hundred year-old man when you decide to pick up a PS vita and play some weebo anime dating sim exciting action game and start gaming from there 

[wasab]

Pokémon.

 

it was magical. Playing as a kid going on a Pokémon adaventure, it was so magical....

 

i still feel the magic even as an adult.

 

None of the triple a games had the same magical feelings. 

[TechyBen]

Repton (cookie for anyone who gets the reference)...

[Inversion]

Disney Pixar's Cars on the PS2

[Crunchy Dragon]

My first game experience was probably something I played with my parents as a little kid(or infant, whichever you prefer).

 

My first video game I actively played was probably Space Cadet Pinball on Windows XP.

[DrMacintosh]

GameBoy Advance SP, but what really did it was the DS Lite. 

 

The specific game that did it was Star Trek Tactical Assault

 

and Steel Horizon

[uzivkovic97]

For me that was Terminator console and PS1.

[Mr.Meerkat]

My first gaming capable thing (and device/hardware) was an AMD Athlon (either Classic or Thunderbird) equipped desktop. My mother had retired it and decided that she would give it to me (who was only a toddler). Apart from the athlon sticker (and the beige case), I don't remember anything else about it as I was only 3-5 years old at the time. 

 

Fun fact: My sister also got her own machine as well. My mother's old laptop . 

[Technomancer__]

a psp my parents gifted me at Christmas 

[AresKrieger]

Not sure what the first game I played was but I assume it was either Super Mario World or Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past, and ever since then I've liked games

 

Anyway I received a hand-me-down SNES with both those games, pretty sure Zelda was the first one but its hard to say.
