Played many many games before this, good ones too..
But those two games I truely loved.
Got to some ridiculously high level once. It was the ULTIMATE HIGH!!!
But, it started probably with sonic 1. But, my comp frenzy was started when my father showed me how to dl some crappy game on aol.. I was hooked! Always downloading everything etc etc etc etc. But, I think descent 2 was a big part of it, too.
hehe

I was addicted to video games the first time I ever heard of them as a kid. I used to crave quarters, and a trip to the local TG&Y so I could play Pac Man. Not because I was hooked on Pac Man, but because it was the only video game in town at first. Later, I allways wanted to go to the local IGA because they had 4 different video games.
Pac Man, Galaxian, Galaga, Wizard of Wor, anything I could get my hands on. Play till I ran out of quarters.
The first game that pushed me beyond that level, and into long gaming sessions was Metroid. But I was an addict before I ever touched one.
*uNF* now that was a fun game.

I remember scrimping and saving and finally getting level five shields and level three torpedoes and just blasting the damn cops :P
Never got too far in the story though, I was only seven or eight years old ^_^
