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.

 

The Black Cauldron

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!

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.

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

Super Mario World. It came with the SNES, my first console, and I was hooked forever after that.

Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!

Star Control.

um, Asteroids on the Atari 2600...

Jaguars4ever is still alive.  No word of a lie.

Shouldn't this be in the video game area?

One billion b-balls dribbling simultaneously throughout the galaxy. One trillion b-balls being slam dunked through a hoop throughout the galaxy. I can feel every single b-ball that has ever existed at my fingertips. I can feel their collective knowledge channeling through my viens. Every jumpshot, every rebound and three-pointer, every layup, dunk, and free throw. I am there.

It would have to be WarCraft II :p

Mortal Kombat 2 or Wolf 3D-Spear of Destiny,

 

Can't remember which was first.

Either Gauntlet or the original Mario, can't remember which was first.

Mine was definatly either Tomb Raider 2 or Screamer 2, probably the former. :p

Megamania. :p

DWARVES IN PROJECT ETERNITY = VOLOURN HAS PLEDGED $250.

Super Mario Brothers on the NES. At the time I couldn't put it down, I had to keep playing.

Zork I.

Wizardry.

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....

HELL YES!

 

or the original Mario

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.
