What was the game.

The one that made you a gamer, not one you liked, or the first you remember, or the one you feel is the best of all time.

What was the game that made you say:

"This...this is what I want"

That game that you went apeshit psycho and played 6 days straight till your thumbs bled and your eyes cried for mercy.

What made you a gamer?

for me, its an easy one, Final Fantasy II (american)

I can no longer count the hours I've logged total playing and replaying it, I feel I know every minute square by heart, I can run through it in my mind.

So please, share with us, what was your first love?

I think FFII was the first game that made me into a real "gamer", too, even though I played video games before that.

Super Mario Bros + Duck Hunt.

After that I was obsessed with Metroid

Metroid and Kid Icarus..


when you play those games for days straight, beating them 10-20 times in a row to get the various ending animations...

but they weren't the ones, you were a gamer by then, as I said, not the best, or the one you loved most....just the one that converted you

Street Fighter 2 got me into arcade gaming.

The Legend of Zelda got me into consoles.

And Quake got me into PC gaming.

Arcade: Gauntlet Legends.
Consoles: Duck Hunt.
PC: Single player... Uhm... Probably Microsoft's Fury3. It was damn cool back then. Multiplayer, Diablo. As in, the first one, not the crappy sequel.

Mechwarrior 2 was one of the first games I ever played on windows. Tribes is what brought me into MP. Super Mario breathed console life into me.
