Xmen arcade game
Neverwinter Nights and Roller Coaster Tycoon when I was a little kid. I watched my dad play Neverwinter and had to indulge in my own tiny fantasy to play as a “dragon.” Still at it.
First a gameboy advance with three separate games, Tekken, sonic, and f-zero. Then Nanosaur on a very old mac my dad had and his Sega Dreamcast with a few dozen titles. I still think they’d be fun to revisit today!
Legend of Zelda 2 on NES. I could not get enough at 4 years old even though I kept getting killed.
Been playing Nintendo since I could remember. That’s like everyone else’s story.
However, I took a break. 1st kid was born and I wanted to focus on them. 5 years, no gaming… But Factorio… You see, that’s where the trouble began to grow. That factory. That damned factory.
edit: fellow engineers, check the FFF blog, they’ve released news of the expansion!
I have the same issue. Too many kids. Haven’t really gamed in years. The only game that I got that was over 10 bucks in recent years was Doom Eternal. Other than that I usually play D2 mods or emulate. I really wish I could get into Factorio, but that game never goes on sale.
It literally won’t go on sale. The devs are on record saying so.
Ya I saw. Weird stance to take. Honestly the base game isn’t bad. Rimworld takes that to a new level. Not only does it not go on sale, but the DLC is way over priced for things that should arguably be already in base game.
Also stopped gaming when I got kids. But then I got the steam deck. Now i manage to game q#2 hours a day
Been saving up money for a deck. Figured I would get one by middle of next year.
I’ve only played around 1500 hours of Factorio. Since I’m still a noob, can you give me some sites where I can read about expansion content?
Need For Speed Underground 2 and Burnout 3. Got it as a combo deal for Christmas as a kid.
NFS 2SE
I have these faint memories of watching my uncles play The Adventures of Rocky and Bullwinkle and Friends for NES when I was super little. That’s probably where I first got an interest. But then the first game that I actually played myself that got me truly hooked was Super Mario World for SNES.
Still one of my favorite games ever.
The first game I played was probably Nintendogs on the GBA. The game that really blew me away was Super Mario Sunshine though.
Does jump-start pre k count?
Ocarina of Time. There’s, like, a whole world out there. I can walk around and see stuff. There are people to talk to. Hey, big owl. Scary monsters wtf. This shit’s awesome.
Been chasing that feeling ever since :(
Frankly it’s why I’m so into TTRPGs now. Video games can rarely give me a true sense of wonder, of exploring the unknown and unexpected anymore.
Monkey Island 1 & 2 were my gateway drug but Grim Fandango solidified it for me. The blend of puzzles and narrative just hooked me as an 11 year old. Now things like Obra Dinn, Disco Elysium and Outer Wilds have taken it to a whole new level.
Watched my dad play kings quest 2 when I was a kid.
