Our First Games
SeraphX | 9:38 PM on 06.13.2007 24 comments


Which games influenced your life as a gamer in your early years? What were the games that made you start to play video games on a more daily basis then occasionally going to a friend's house to play Super Mario Bros?

Now bare with me, this is my first blog post. So I apologize for the lackluster attempt in advanced.

My First game ever is still to this day regarded as one of the best RPGs ever created, Chrono Trigger was the first game I ever played and first I ever beat, from the moment Marle was transported to the year 600AD, I knew this was something more than just a video game, it was a life experience, to this day Schala's theme still pops into my head, the battle with Magus still haunts me with it's epic medley and rolling mood. The loss of Crono...Although a extremely easy game, If I had not played it, I do not think I would be a gamer today.

Anyone else have a game that changed it all for them?


P.S. Looking for people who play RB6 Vegas on XBL. Send a FR with your name please.

Actually i did a thing about this a little while back but i lost it. I wish i hadn't cos then i could have posted it here.

Mine were Command and Conquer, Doom, Star Fighter 4000, Warcraft, Broken Sword (i was really scared of that goat), and going way back, there was a game called Drop, there was Wolfenstien 3D, a Sherlock Holmes rip-off based around vampires, Crystal Maze, and a game called Stock Market on the Amstrad.

There are more but i can't remember them all now...

V_V Oh sorry for stealing you're thunder. But seriously, my first were LoZ aLttP and Super Metroid.

Oh and for clarification, I'm turning 17 in August, so yeah. It's suprising I even played Fallout.

One of the best RPGs? More like THE best RPG!!!

For your first post, you gots a point and tells why you like the game so I give a thumbs up. You would've got two thumbs up if you had a pic with a witty/lame saying or quote on it!


But as for your question....I can't really remember NOT playing games. One of the first I remember was Rushin' Attack, so I guess I will pick that one.

17! Jailbait! haha

I have like no skill with image editing. So it was a no go.

I just meant, take a pic and throw text on top of it....not too taxing but not necessary
BlueWolf72's Destructoid Blog
street fighter in the arcade......half-life were my early favs
SeraphX's Destructoid Blog
Yeah, I know I'm lazy.
Oh and speaking of first games, though I didn't technically play it, my older neighbors used to make me think I was playing Super Mario when i was like 3-4 and they'd give me a controller but not plug it in and they play. My mom still has videos of it. Oh noes!
Reeper's Destructoid Blog
i too will be turning seventeen. soo tight.

anyways...
some of the first games i played were the original gameboy games like super mario 2 and the 6 golden coins (i think), donkey kong..something, and an NFL game. i later graduated up to the sega genesis, playing sonic 2 and mcdonald's treasure hunt game (ftw!)
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog

Reeper's Destructoid Blog

Isn't everyone that lives here in Portland?
BlindsideDork's Destructoid Blog
Lives here? I am FAR from portland! My bro isn't though..
Knives's Destructoid Blog
The first games i remember playing are mario bros/duck hunt, megaman 2 and mmm.. bases loaded?

I've gaming for as long as i can remember (thanks to my cousins), but the moment i was defined as a gamer i think it was thx to my obsession with TMNT as a kid, i loved playing the nes and arcade games.
SeraphX's Destructoid Blog
Ah, I just noticed Reeper's post, I'd rather not. I was a loud mouthed kid when I was younger. I don't want to be another Nintendo 64 kid. (Well I'm not THAT bad)
ZServ's Destructoid Blog
my first game was Zelda for the NES. Beat it when I was 3, even have a VHS of it. Yet I can't beat the game today. o_O
Reeper's Destructoid Blog
lol
we won't judge because of how you look or act when you were younger.


nex might though, he's kind of neo-nazi-like.
SeraphX's Destructoid Blog
It's VHS. how in world would I get them on this piece of junk computer?

Also I should photoshop a Dtoid head over my face..You'll never know it was me muhahaha! ...Meh
Ajaw15's Destructoid Blog
I think the first game i ever played was Zelda, a link to the past. How lucky am I? next few in line would be Donkey Kong Country and Wolfenstien (I never finished it, i was easily scared as a child. I stopped when i found out about the four armed zombie with meat cleavers and bellychaingun.)
SeraphX's Destructoid Blog
It's nothing to be embarrassed to this day I still won't play games without a friend or lights on if I was told it would be scary. Eternal Darkness to this day I have no finished because of all the creepy shit. *Got duped by the GW program freak out in MGS2*

About Moi
I've never been to any social events regarding gaming of any kind, I don't really identify with any certain system, Although the only next-gen system I own is a 360. I'm a pretty laid back person and I don't anger easily, so if you want to play some RB6 on live, send me a FR.

Also from what I hear, I do not win the halos, ever.
