How old were you and maybe most importantly was it worth it ?

First game I ever remember buying was Final Fantasy II. I was probably about 11 and it was definitely worth it. A friend had let me borrow it for a few days and I immediately knew that I needed to get my own copy. Still one of my favorite games ever.
The Orange Box, absolutely worth it lol
GUNSHIP on tandy.
then a few years later the first game I pirated was LHX.
Man, that was so long ago. Thinking back it was probably Excitebike or Wizards & Warriors for the NES.
I think either gobliiins or starush for the Amiga
The first game that i remember buying was Baldurs gate. Real first was probably something for NES, megaman 2 maybe?
The first game system I ever had was a Game Gear when I was 6, but I think every game I ever got for it was a gift. We got a Sega Genesis the following year, when I was 7 (1996). Little did I know at the time it was actually obsolete at that point, but that’s why my parents got it for me when they did; it was dirt cheap. So were the games. I kid you not when I say I could walk into a FuncoLand with $10 and walk out with 20 used Genesis games, most of which were $0.25 each. So as a result, I have no idea what the first game I bought was, because my brother and I bought a plethora of games all at the same time. In that haul though, probably, was Vectorman, Jurassic Park, Clayfighter, and Sonic the Hedgehog 3 (we already got Sonic 1 and 2 with the console, as well as a couple of Mortal Kombat games that our parents made us return when they realized how violent they were, because I guess the title left it ambiguous).
Wordfeud premium.
Had it since Android started. It’s outlived one marriage (cancer), about six phones so far.
It’s a kind of Scrabble game but slightly different layout, and ‘just works.’
Gameboy + Zelda: Link’s Awakening bundle when I was like 6. That was an absolute guarantee gaming would get its hooks in a person.
Let’s see… when I was 4 I got a Sega Genesis for my birthday. It came with Sonic the Hedgehog 2, and Granddad took me shopping to pick out two other games for it. I picked Sonic the Hedgehog and Ms. Pac-Man, and both were bangers. The Genesis port of Ms. Pac-Man had a bunch of alternate modes with different mazes.
I became a big fan of the Sonic the Hedgehog games. I got Sonic 3 for my next(?) birthday, and Sonic and Knuckles the Christmas after that(?). I was convinced that Lock-On Technology was going to be the future of video games!
I grew up with many of these games!
I remember going to pick out PS1 games. Spyro the Dragon was the one I put the most time into.
On the Genesis, I also remember picking “Streets of Rage 2” simply because I liked Street Fighter 2 on the SNES and I thought it’d be the same kind of game. Best decision I made about a Genesis game!
Blaster Master for NES. I was like 11 and had earned some money somehow that was then burning a hole in my wallet. Hey Dad, take me to Toys R Us?
Worth it? Hell yeah, I loved that game.
Holy shit am i the only minecraft generation kid here?
I am amazed with how many older folks I’m seeing to. But I’m not sad
No idea which game specifically. I used to walk to the pawn shop from my parents’ work and buy NES and Gameboy games, cheap af. Prolly something like Turrican on the Gameboy or Tecmo Bowl.
Pitfall by Activision for the Atari 2600. I’m old.
And a cracking game it was, fellow silver surf–oh god, we really are old!
Yeeees, me, too
They didn’t say it was a video game. I’m also pretty old, and I’m sure the first game I bought was either playing cards or some version of Monopoly, or maybe a D&D starter set.
I just gave my DnD blue box set to a friend last week. I bought it in 1979 😄
Doom on CD-ROM. Was the first, still the best.
Flight simulator for the C64 (uncrackable at the time).
RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR (the sound was just the engine)RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR…
With my own allowance money instead of asking for it as a gift?
Sim City 3000First game as an adult with a job?
Halo 2Im not alone. Sim City 3000 gang roll put!
