I was always into gaming, but it was only when I played Devil May Cry, everything changed for me, I got it on my 9th birthday and from there on out gaming become such a pivotal part of my life & a hobby I never lost interest in.
Elden ring and sekiro
I started with the OG Nintendo and Legend of Zelda was my obsession.
Space Invaders
Final Fantasy 8
Mario 64
Halo CE. I got into clan scrims and never looked back
Probably The Incredible Machine on PC when I was like 7ish? Followed by the Magic Schoolbus game and then Ocarina of Time when we got an N64.
Honestly, probably Duck Hunt + Mario Bros. Played it obsessively as a kid. But I would say Zelda OOT / Banjo Kazooie took it from an arcade-like hobby into a full blown obsession. N64 was a life changing experience for me lol
Devil May Cry 3 and Armored Core PS2
A:\DOOM\SETUP.EXE
Then the rest is history…
GTA Vice City was the first game I touched and then I started playing other games
I have been playing games for as long as I can remember, I don’t know the first one I every play but it was likely Zelda :3
The Yakuza franchise. I’ve actually started learning Japanese cuz of the series as well
for me it would either be dragon age origins or final fantasy x
I started out as a snes gamer but I became a real gamer during my n64 days. Starfox 64, I remember doing no hit campaign runs on hard mode when I was only 8 or 9 yrs old lol. Super Smash bros, I got so good at the game I would challenge myself by fighting against 3 cpus at max difficulty and handicap lol. I think that’s when I started to really challenge myself in games. I’d go to Eb games and they would have a demo station with smash bros and I’d go and play against other randoms lol.
