My relationship with video gaming started when I dropped a quarter into a "Pong" table at a pizza joint as a kid while out with the fam one friday night. After the "Atari" sys came out it was a game called "Yars Revenge" that made me realize "This shit is too cool.".

First Console Game: College football national championship or something, sega genesis
Favorite Console Game: Final Fantasy 7

got hooked, moved on to pc's i was like 10.

First PC game:Blood, 1997
Favorite PC game(s): Diablo 2 and Vanilla World of Warcraft

Currently gaming nothing, every game that i get hyped for is a huge letdown, like simcity 5, as an example thats recent. Diablo 3 was a complete failure. I'm losing hope.

God, socom 3 gor me forever started on online games, it is by far the best shooter i played til this day. Call of dury is generic and doesnt seem to fill the void, neither do the newer socoms.

Original gaming that got me hooked i would have to say zelda, mario, qbert and shit like that.

iw or stg on citadel 24/7!!! God id love to play that game again. Call o duty is very generic correct. Citadel and harvester. Love the sniping hill on harvester on the terrorist side but i hated the seal cliff advantage. Very balanced map. Not to mention cars and big map modes

i remember camping on big map harvester convoy mode and c4ing the bridge and wait for the tanks loool. I could go on all day about how great that game was

 

[thinn]

Thats whats lacking. I think the biggest maps that come close to socom "big maps" is battlefield. But honestly devils road big map was huge and so was harvester. Nothing like playing crucible and hitting that tunnel hard! How about antenora big, i donr care how many times i played that, i was always lost in that jungle. Killing fields, man on and on......i miss it, lol waterworks, fault, boneyard,

We used to play boneyard small with only rpgs and pistols, best time ever on demo

 

[Timewasmoney1]

Devils road big map yeah man! Insanely huge

socom > battlefield

Mario on the nes when i was 3

This:

this was my first one to. Not my favorite but my first.

best ever was team fortress (not classic but the one that was a free mod off of the first quake, there was a mod that had like 5 artifacts like a 300ac armor, a globe that would follow you and shoot enemies around you, only one person on server at a time could have that artifact,,, it was awesome)
or Diablo 2, waited forever for 3 and those greedy pricks screwed it up. will never buy it.
or counter strike.
or battlefield2
cant decide between those 4.

 

[Beefbisquit]

Wolfenstein 3D, Cosmos Cosmic Adventures, Commander Keen, Blakestone, Doom I & II.... I guess those were the ones that got me really started.

Real War for the PC - After playing Age of Empires II, I thought this game would be cool because it's really similar except it goes much farther into the future, up to the present day with shit like B2's and F117's! It was a ton of fun as a kid, decent graphics, fun single player campaign

Resident Evil 3: Nemisis for the Playstation - Fucking amazing game! Excellent gameplay, decent graphics for its time, insanely scary moments and it kept you coming back for more!

Commandos 3 for PC - Insanely fun gameplay, great graphics, reminiscent of Fallout 2, and a great storyline that ran with WWII

[iNVESTIGATE]

Starcraft, Battlefield 1942, Command & Conquer, SOCOM, Soldier of Fortune II Double Helix, Red Faction 2.

Those were all the big games on PC and PS that got me hooked but before all that it was SEGA GameGear/Genisis, Nintendo consoles and arcades when i had the chance..

 

[DoctorGregHouse]

Goldeneye for the N64.

 

[iNVESTIGATE]

Goldeneye almost goes without saying.. but im glad you said it! lol

 

[Clever Fox]

Hmm.. My Uncle just gave me a lot of his old games when I was like 12 or something so I guess Tomb Raider did for a bit and then resident Evil 3, I loved that game. It was like the only one I played.

 

[Padawanbater2]

Resident Evil 3 was great, really introduced me to the horror genre

Beating it felt like an actual accomplishment

 

[Doer]

Pong. Remember the first video game? I played it again, last year. In the Tech Museum. Still not so easy, long term. Very hypnotic. Makes me second guess, after a while.

And a friend had an Atrari. Played B-52 Bomber, and some precursor to Civilization type games. I got into it. A-10 WartHog on my beefed up to 1 mb, Amiga.

The same friend, worked with me in sales and of course, we hung out the video parlors when it was, too hot, too wet, too early, too lazy, etc. All those early games Galactica, the one with Dragon Eggs, and you had to keep the dragon flapping.

Well, then I realized. I love this. I love the different styles of play. A new game idea is rare and there are many copy cats.

Take Portal 2. Mind bending. Days go by.

Forza 3..a different deal and far out and I built a simulator seat for that. Souped up the xbox steering wheel with a regular ball bearing set. RC car spring to make the brake and gas pedal feel right.

Also, I have a helicopter seat, I built.

MotoCross....endless new game types.

Yeah, love it.
