When did I first 'game', thats kinda complicated to answer...
See, if I wanted to get technical, I would say, I didn't truelly start 'gaming' until around 1998 or so. I played games, but I didn't almost exclusively play em, they weren't my 'main' form of entertainment.
(games I played, involved FF series, Cool Borders, Mario, GTA, Siphon Filter, Twisted Metal.(GOD I loved that demo! Electricuted soooo many people
))
However, the very, very, very first Game I remember playing, was something on either the Atari, Comadore 64, or something on the vic 20.
IT was escentially a 'demolition derby', with some kind of joy stick/controller.
Its kinda funny, cause one of the games I loved playing growing up, was the Twisted Metal Series! I remember playing Twisted Metal with my cousin for damn near 16 hours from like 10am to 3 am, beating the game so many times on every difficulty, going on death matches, you name it...
To put it simply, we beat the fuck out of that game.
However, I would also say that the very very first game that I remember outside of nintendo was firstly,
1) on the Pc Warcraft, my brother got a laptop from the library and was playing this game warcraft, and I don't remember if it was 1 or 2... But I didn't know wtf I was doing and was just having a blast listening to everything the orcs said.
2) Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen on the PSX. My brother & his friend brought home a PS1, and this was one of the games I got... A few months/years later we finally got a PSX, and that was one of the games I had to get, as well as...
Twisted Metal
Riven: Sequal to myst. (I'm still pissed at that, my mother saved the game at the VERY END of the game, where you had to solve a 'puzzle' that the only way to beat it was to 'listen' to a tune, and where she saved, was at a spot where you couldn't go back to, and if you got it wrong, you died or something. The problem is, everytime you load the game, the tune changed!!) ugggh I musta put like 80 hours into that game...)
Cool Borders: You'd think after renting the game about 90 times and spending approximately 3x what it cost to buy it, your parents would have you know.. bought it for you... Oddly enough, this was mine, and my cousins favorite game at the time. (different cousin) THe funny thing is, we both got it for 'xmas' and on x-mas day he came over and said 'hey you won't believe what I got', and I showed em my copy... Needless say, it took out the 'dude, I got something you don't got!' factor.
