Hurlshort Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 What game really hooked you and made you a gamer? Mine was The Black Cauldron. I was fairly young, and the Black Cauldron captured my imagination. It was also one of the first adventure games to be playable without typing in commands.

DemonKing Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Wizardry: Proving Grounds of the Mad Overlord I used to go every afternoon after school to the house of a guy I didn't even like that much just so I could play with him (he had an Apple II). We each used to control 3 characters...ahh the memories! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I think it was Raptor: Call to Shadows. I used to spend hours upon hours to lay waste to the legions of enemies. :D Those were the times. Not to mention Jurassic Park, Golden Axe or Stunts. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reveilled Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 Super Mario World. It came with the SNES, my first console, and I was hooked forever after that. Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 So many.... Lemmings was one of the first games I played that wasn't a text adventure.... Superfrog was probably a bigger contributor to my gaming addiction though. Yes. Superfrog. The memories....

Kitch Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 The one game that really stands out for me is Chrono Trigger. I'm a huge fan of older games like Wizardry and the Ultima series, but I wasn't actually around to experience them as it was all happening. So I can't really call them memorable games since I first played them after-the-fact in a way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
