Counter Strike source, WoW and then TBC, wotlk, then it became shit

Ocarina of Time. Nintendo 64 woo woo all the way

Pong...

Streets of Rage II My mum played with me once too, awesome times.

I had several gaming consoles growing up, starting with SNES. I never had too have the newest gaming system right when I came out, nor did I want many games for any one system. Gaming was fun, but I wouldn't consider myself an addict/true gamer until I started playing EverQuest. I guess it was the mmo experience that I became addicted to. The interaction with others was more fun then any aspect of any game. EverQuest consumed about 10 years of my life. From 14-24. Failed relationships, poor academics, terrible diet and exercise, bad sleeping habits/schedules. I was hooked. A decade of paying one game. I became a "completionist". I've never played a game with so much to do. I couldn't stand thinking that there wasn't something more to do, and in a game that never ends, that's a terrible feeling. Maxed my level, maxed my alternate abilities three times over, maxed every skill (combat and innate), maxed every trade skill... but that wasnt enough. I joined a hardcore raiding guild. Raided 5 nights a week for 4 to 5 hours a night, always had the best in slot and was ranked top 5 for my class on my server. Still wasn't enough. I began hunting and questing "collectibles". Things that didn't have much use but we're fun to show off, like illusion clickies, and tradeskill modification trophies to increase my skill beyond the cap... Just as I felt I had done it all, they implemented an achievement system. A checklist of trials and accomplishments. "Beat this mission in x minutes", "beat this mission using only fire damage", "complete this raid, this raid, this raid". Thousands of challenges. The only reason I quit playing was because I moved on to other online games. Games with less to do, but great replay value. Like call of duty. A game I can pick up and play for an hour but then is ready to put down. Then comes destiny... it's not something I'm finding easy to put down after an hour.

'Bobby is going home' on my old Atari 2600. First Jump'n'Run I ever played... Yeah, I'm old :D

The Jak and Daxter series

competitive gaming was the original Unreal Tournament on PC before that there are far too many to try and find that 'one' that got me into it Console wise i think my favourite ever was the Snes (or Famicom in some places) and it still gets played at random times throughout the year!

Nintendo (first gen) zelda, sega mortal kombat, nintendo 64 mario kart and 007 goldeneye, playstation ff7 xbox&xbox 360 meh halo games.

It's Metroid on Nintendo...clueless about video games until that game came out...then many years later Super Metroid came out for the best system ever (SNES), that game conjures up good memories of sleepless nights and a C average on my report card.

Pitfall on Atari is the first game I remember getting hooked on as a little kid. Then Legend of Zelda came along. I took a pretty long break from games in high school, but in college I got a Playstation and picked up Final Fantasy VII. That was my first ever RPG, and it completely sucked me back into gaming. That game was absolutely epic.

Gunship on the Commodore 64

I remember playing jade cocoon: story of the tamamayu on ps1 with my grandma. She was a gamer.

Chuckie Egg

What do all the games HAV in common? Their all insanely fun an exciting. Unlike destiny

Almost the oldest of the old school.... The Dungeons and Dragons basic rule book, 1977!

It was Contra for me... I was so young but played it all the time. I'm not sure but 27 seems like an old school gamer to me
