Tyockell Posted January 22, 2003 What was the game that started it all for you? and really made a strange/signifficant impact on you?. For me it would eather be Final doom for playstation or duke nukem 3d. When I played these games it got me hooked on gameing and were the only ones I'v actully had dreames about. 0 Share this post Link to post

Amaster Posted January 22, 2003 Super Mario Bros. Sonic the Hedgehog DooM Silent Hill 1 and 2 I played plenty of games before mario, but that one was what really got me going. Sonic, DooM and Silent Hill 1 were the ones that affected me the most. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sephiroth Posted January 22, 2003 well doom did, duh. but before doom i played games like metriod II, mario and commander keen4 0 Share this post Link to post
Silverwyvern Posted January 22, 2003 Oh god.. definately Metroid. I loved that game.. but my neighbors owned it, not me. So I always went over to play the game. I love it so... *sniffle <:) Oh! and Yars Revenge. ;) 0 Share this post Link to post
læmænt Posted January 22, 2003 Doom - seriously. I didn't have a computer before that. 0 Share this post Link to post
Remilia Scarlet Posted January 22, 2003 Probably either Q-Bert, Pitfall!, Mouse Trap, Sonic The Hedgehog, or some other real early one. Actually, it was probably Robotron: 2084 on my Atari 7800 (which I still have!) 0 Share this post Link to post

DooMBoy Posted January 22, 2003 I think it was the original Mario Bros. that got the ball rolling for me. Then came Doom. 0 Share this post Link to post
Tyockell Posted January 22, 2003 I remember when i first played the mario games then one night it gave me a really fucked up dream. I kept seeing cubes floating around :\ so never again have I touched those games.... 0 Share this post Link to post

Baron-Of-Hell Posted January 22, 2003 Fire & Ice, Magic Pockets and Terminator 2. All on the Omega... The two games that affected me the most though were the original Doom and Donkey Kong Country :) 0 Share this post Link to post
Y2theJ Posted January 22, 2003 Super Mario Cart (SNES) Street Fighter II (SNES) Alex Kid in Mirical World (Sega Master System II) Wonder Boy 3, The Dragons Trap (Sega Master System II) Would put doom there, except I was already playing video games before it was released. 0 Share this post Link to post
Job Posted January 22, 2003 Actually, I take back what I said about Doom II being the game that got me in. Hell, it was Wolfenstein: Spear of Destiny, now that I think of it. Geez. It was great -- I made levels along wiht an N64 Goldeneye conversion that had such features as turning the chaingun into the RCP90. Ah...memories. 0 Share this post Link to post

FirebrandX Posted January 22, 2003 The first major impact a game had on me was "Legend of Zelda". I had been burnt out on console games for a few years from Atari's garbage they sold me for the 2600, but I quickly got the gaming fever again when the NES came out with games like Zelda and SMB. 0 Share this post Link to post
Melfice Posted January 22, 2003 Sonic the Hedeghog for me. I use to be nuts. Stowed away in my closet is every Sonic the Hedghog comic up to 2001, every Game for every system he was on, all the McDonald's toys and various stuffed animals, and the list continutes, along with my own comics I drew and about 2 notebooks of different characters I made up for it, Comics, and new machines for Dr. Robotnik 0 Share this post Link to post
myk Posted January 22, 2003 In approximate order, these games played the biggest role in "getting me into" computer games (which nowadays means DOOM and DOOM II, although I had an intermediate period in which I played other games as well): Mattel's Intellivision (early console, Atari's main competitor) AD&D (this isn't a computer game but it could probably be the game to share most of the blame for various reasons) Temlpe of Apshai and it's add-ons (a 1 player "RPG" for the IBM PC) Wizardry (the 1st one) DOOM and DOOM II 0 Share this post Link to post
Fredrik Posted January 22, 2003 Super Mario Bros 2, sort of... a friend had a NES with a couple of games, including that, and I used to play it there. Then one year or so later, I got a SNES with Super Mario All-Stars. Total joy. Heh. 0 Share this post Link to post

Disorder Posted January 22, 2003 deathz0r said:I can't remember, but I'd have to say Turrican. Turrican, Maniac mansion, Bubble Bobble, Bushido and all the other great Commodore 64 games started it for me. I started playing Doom a lot later. 0 Share this post Link to post
zark Posted January 22, 2003 Baron-Of-Hell said:Fire & Ice, Magic Pockets MAN. Those games are awesome! For me, it'd have to be Lemmings, Bubble Bobble, Magic Pockets & Castle Master all on the Atari ST. I didn't get a PC until much later, and before I did I got a Sega Master System (ownage!), which had great games like Sonic and Golden Axe Warrior. There's few PC games that really influenced me, except Doom and maybe Ultima Underworld. 0 Share this post Link to post
BlueSonnet Posted January 22, 2003 Lord almighty i have no idea. I think the turtles on GB started it off, either that or some indiana jones type of game on the atari. Since then i haven't looked back. As for doom, well i've never thought "that game is crap!" i think quake got me into doom. I recall watching someone play quake in a pc shop and went eew when the guy fired a rocket into an ogre and gibbed him. The following week i played it and beat the first episode. A few weeks later my friend came round to my house with snes doom. I played doom that fateful day. Since then i've been a doom fanatic. I have all the pc doom games as well as the psx doom games. I wish i had doom64, (yes i've played that too). Maybe Kaiser's TC, DSV4 will keep me happy for a while. 0 Share this post Link to post
