Why are you here?

[Hurr Durr Derp]

To quote the guy from Minesweeper: The Movie
"I'M HERE BECAUSE I'M BORED!"

But anyway, I don't even remember my first videogame. I vaguely remember playing a digital pool game, but I don't think that was my first. At least it's the first one I specifically remember.

 

[ThreeWords]

Actually, I'm here for the RPs and Off Topic

I do so love mingling with people as mad as me...

There have been quite a few threads recently asking for your favourite or threads trying to spread hate for <insert console/game/company/political institution here>.

But as I read the thoughts of my fellow enlightened masses, or the rank drivel of the morons, depending on your point of view, I realise that we're all on these forums for one reason...

We enjoy our games.

I'm curious to know, what started you down this path. What piece of interactive media grabbed a hold of you and kept you.

For me, it was Pitfall on the Atari 2600.

Yeah pitfall got me to and Jungle Jim....But i must say as long as i play games i also want to make my own games...And being on forums like this one is helpful to get an idea what people like and what not.

Although its a nice and cozy place here

 

[FallenJellyDoughnut]

Crash Bandicoot.

 

[Xanadeas]

Nintendo created Super Mario Bros. and that's the first game I ever played. Ever since I've loved vidya games.

 

[twcblaze]

Street Fighter II, because it was the first time I could kick my older brothers' collective asses.


addendum: and the reason I'm here now is because nobody's invading on demon's souls... kinda hard to PKK when there's no PK after your blood.

 

[Sneaklemming]

As a PC fanboy today; it's odd that I started really on the Playstation 1

 

[DazZ.]

Wolf3d/Prince of Persia/Commander Keen.

A mix of those, and a lot of thanks to my Granddad for teaching me dos commands and buying games that looked good.

 

[Andalusa]

I usually stay in the Off-Topic threads.

Buut it was definitely a mixture of games on the PS1 and N64, nothing too specific.

 

[Kermi]

I played Alex Kidd in miracle world on a Sega Master System at my mother's friend's place, and got a Sega Master System for Christmas after begging my mother for one. The Sega eventually died, but by that time I had a PC and spent the 90's playing pirated copies of everything from Half-Life to Sierra and Lucasarts adventure games.
To this day I can remember how to finish the entirely of Space Quest 1-6 in one sitting.

 

[GodofDisaster]

Was drawm in by Nintendo and Super Mario Bros in general. But switch to sony console gaming in later life.

 

[Kajt]

Mortal Kombat, Contra and Super Mario on the SNES made be start playing games.

 

[Rancid0ffspring]

It's one of life's great mysteries isn't it? Why are we here? Are we the product of some cosmic coincidence or is there really a god watching everything with a plan for us & stuff, I don't know man, but it keeps me up at night.

 

[McAster]

I played a few games on the Master System early on as a wee lad, but nothing more then just a toy that didn't register much to me. Then Sonic The Hedgehog on the Mega Drive was given to me one day, alongside Sonic The Comic, that got me into gaming.

 

[The Hairminator]

In the year 5367 my best friend Snarfkl pushed me through a worm hole that took me back to this time. And now I'm trying to conquer the internet, starting with this site.
EDIT: 500th post! This is relevant to my interests!

 

[SomethingUnrelated]

I'm here because it beats the underbelly of the Youtube comments section...

 

[Sinnott147]

Mortal Kombat on the Super Nintendo

 

[Murlin]
