Which was the first video game you have ever played?
Crash Bandicoot in 1999 on PS1.

Was it a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need a another game?
Nope Crash bandicoot immediately got me hooked on gaming, although Spyro made gaming even more enjoyable at the time. Later on during the PS2 era, Dynasty Warriors 4 further cemented my gaming hobby to the extreme.

Was there anybody who influenced you? (A brother or sister, uncle, friend, whoever, who
brought you into gaming)
My sister was the one who bought the PS1 and Crash Bandicoot, a family friend introduced us to Spyro shortly after and also bought me pretty much all of the Crash and Spyro sequels on PS1.

Do you play only PC-games or do you also own (a) console(s) and which?*
I play on both, but more on consoles. The only games I play mostly on PC are the Dawn of War games.

Which was the first video game you bought yourself?
Crash Nitro Kart for the PS2, which was also my first PS2 game.

Dynasty Warriors 6 Empires and Dawn of War II: Retribution.

Which was the first video game you have ever played?

I believe it was super mario land 2: Six golden coins on the game boy

Was it a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need a another game?

It pretty much got me interested single handedly, It took pokemon red and donkey kong country to really get me into it.

My dad has been a gamer since the atari 2600 days and it was he who fed my new hobby when I was about 4

Do you play only PC-games or do you also own (a) console(s) and which?*

I own a gaming PC and all the modern gen consoles, I probably play on my PC and wii the most

I think it was overlord for the PC, I remember being given £40 to buy whatever I wanted and I chose that, before my dad just bought me games as a treat or a reward

At full price that would be shogun 2, the most recent I bought was a mid-week madness steam offer on trine, and both shadowgrounds for £3.30 yesterday

Which was the first video game you have ever played?
Duck Hunt and the original Mario Bros on one cartridge. That or Ninja Gaiden
Was it a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need a another game?
My dad owned an NES that I played every now and again, but Banjo-Kazooie was the first game that I ever really got into, and that led to Ocarina of Time which cemented me into gaming.
Was there anybody who influenced you? (A brother or sister, uncle, friend, whoever, who brought you into gaming)
Well my dad owned an NES so that influenced me/got me started. But other than that nobody really got me started, it was all on my own
Do you play only PC-games or do you also own (a) console(s) and which?
I don't only play PC-Games. I've been a console gamer for most of my life; which includes the NES, the N64, the PS2, and now my 360
Which was the first video game you bought yourself?
Hmmmmm....probably Kingdom Hearts. I was too young to have money with my N64, and Kingdom Hearts was one of my first PS2 games, which was when I started buying my own games for the most part.
Which was the last one?
LA Noire

Which was the first video game you have ever played?
The earliest game I can remember is some animaniacs game I playe on a PC when I was 4.
Was it a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need a another game?
I believe it was Street fighter that brought me into gaming. Ironic since I suck at fighters.
Was there anybody who influenced you? (A brother or sister, uncle, friend, whoever, who brought you into gaming) I would guess my mom because she always played Galaga at the local arcade.
Do you play only PC-games or do you also own (a) console(s) and which?*
I own and play a PS3 all the time.
Which was the first video game you bought yourself?
I believe it was nintendogs for the DS. I regret it.
Which was the last one?
I actually bought 4 old PS2 titles last week for just 21 dollars. The Bouncer, Devil May Cry 2, .hack infection, and Resident Evil: Code X Veronica. I think it was a hell of a deal.

Final Fantasy X was the game that got me into gaming and remains the only game that I've clocked over 150 hours into.

My uncle got me into gaming, I used to watch him play but then he let me take the controller during one of his sessions; I owned a PS2 the very next Christmas.

I own an Xbox 360 and PS2, a PS3 is in our house but isn't technically mine and we own a Wii, though it rarely gets used. I don't play PC games because I can't afford and have no inclination to buy a gaming computer.

[chainsaw Killer]

Which was the first video game you have ever played?

Donkey Kong Country SNES.

Was it a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need a another game?

With 6 or 7 I came home from school to find out my parents bought me a SNES with DK on it.
I've never bevore even thought much about starting video gaming, that was all it took to really get me into games.

Was there anybody who influenced you? (A brother or sister, uncle, friend, whoever, who brought you into gaming)

Well my parents bought me a console,
not because I asked for it but my younger brother and I had to share a room and they wanted to keep me quiet while he was sleeping every afternoon.
They had no idea what they started...

Do you play only PC-games or do you also own (a) console(s)or handhelds and which?

I mostly play PC games since I got my first computer consoles where an afterthought.
I recently bought a PS3 for a few exclusives, but over all I just don't care for thumbsticks...

Which was the first video game you bought yourself?

Except a lot of gaming magazines that had old games in them.
Morrowind was the first game I bought if I recall correctly.
Really well spent 7 bucks ...

Which was the last one?

I bought Terraria on Steam yesterday,
that wasn't as good a buy.

 

[Bonecrusher]

Which was the first video game you have ever played?

I don't like the "video game" name. What is it? Console game, or PC game?

My first game was a console game - Pong. I should still had that pong machine somewhere...
My first pc game was Prince Of Persia.

Was it a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need a another game?

It was Gods. I loved that game when I was kid.

Was there anybody who influenced you? (A brother or sister, uncle, friend, whoever, who brought you into gaming)

some of my friends during primary school were playing games like me (they don't have to be a "gamer"), so we were talking about Street Fighter II, Superfrog, Super Mario Land or similar stuff.

Do you play only PC-games or do you also own (a) console(s) and which?*

I play mostly PC games.
However, I also have Commodore 64, Gameboy, SNES, Sega Saturn, PS1-2-3. I also wanted to buy Xbox 360, but microsoft doesn't sell that console in my country.

Which was the first video game you bought yourself?

hard question. there were mostly pirated games back then. original box games were very rare. probably it was Warhammer Dark Omen. I still have the box but sadly the cd is lost.

Which was the last one?

if you want "console games" by telling the word "video game" - it is Demon's Souls + Conan + Super Street Fighter IV (yay for Summer Sale!)
if you also count pc games, it is Still Life 1+2 (yay for Steam Sales!)

 

[Soxafloppin]

Which was the first video game you have ever played?
I think it was Mortal Kombat 2 or 3, i was young but no harm was done *twitches*


Was it a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need a another game?

I was really young, too young to call myself a gamer.


Was there anybody who influenced you? (A brother or sister, uncle, friend, whoever, who brought you into gaming)

I used to play it with my dad and sister, we played Sonic games together for the Sega Saturn, I liked being Tails


Do you play only PC-games or do you also own (a) console(s) and which?*

No gaming PC, i have a PS3


Which was the first video game you bought yourself?

StarFox Adventures for the Gamecube (been itching to pick it up again, play it on my mums Wii), i got one in primary school and it was the first game i bought for it, I got sonic Adventure and Smash Bros Melee with it.



Which was the last one?

Ironically, the New Mortal Kombat for PS3, Oh god Nostalgia.

 

[scorptatious]

Which was the first video game you have ever played?
Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back. It was either that or 2Xtreme, as both games came along with the PS1 my parents bought me.

Was is a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need another game?
While Crash 2 was certainly a big influence, I believe the game that truly brought me into gaming was Spyro the Dragon. With Spyro, it was the very first video game I've ever actually beaten. And it was because of that game I realized how much I loved gaming, and the rest is history.

Was there anybody who influenced you? (A brother or sister, uncle, friend, whoever, who brought you into gaming)
I'd have to say that a lot of people had a tiny influence. My parents were the ones who bought me a PS1 when I was little, my next door neighbor would play lots of games with me, and when he couldn't do that, my sister or brother would play alongside me.

Do you play only PC games or do you own (a) console(s) and which?
I'm personally more of a console gamer myself, but I do like to play some PC games. (Recently, Angry Birds, if that counts) The consoles I own are a 360, PS3, Wii, PS2, PSP, and DS.

Which was the first video game you bought yourself?
I don't really remember to be honest. It was probably a Pokemon game or something. I don't know.

Which was the last one?
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time from the Wii's virtual console. I have to say, while I'm still having fun with that game, it hasn't aged all that well in terms of controls. Maybe I'm just spoiled by the more modern games. But hey, it beats spending $300 or so on a 3DS and the remake.

 

[CATB320]

Which was the first video game you have ever played?
Apparently it was Grandma and Me (and then a bunch of "educational" games), but I hardly remember them. The first video game that I played including any action was either Rune or Unreal Tournament.

Was it a video game that brought you into gaming or did it need a another game?
Unreal Tournament and Rune. I played them both a lot when I was a kid. Fallout 3 got me into console gaming, though, just a few years ago.

Was there anybody who influenced you?
My dad, definitely. He and I played a bunch of video games together, even when I was to afraid to do anything in Unreal Tournament besides running around the map and shooting rockets into the walls. (I was really young, okay.) He was also the one who bought our Xbox 360, pretty much just for Fallout 3, as he was a fan of the original series.

Do you play only PC-games or do you also own (a) console(s) and which?
The only consoles I've had are a PS1, PS2, and an Xbox 360. Before the xbox, I still mostly played video games on the PC -- my dad had a lot. I only had a few games for the Playstations, but I played them extensively (God of War, Soul Calibur, Tekken). Now I hardly ever play PC games because my computer is shit

Which was the first video game you bought yourself?
Probably a Sims game, to be honest. My dad buys most of them, even though all he plays now is Command and Conquer.

Which was the last one?
LA Noire. Great game.
