I'd have to say halo:ce

Super mario bros 3, banjo kazooie/tooie and platformers in general will always take presidence over any other genre, but because there aren't many out.. i cant do much about it haha. Shooters it is i guess :/

Super metroid, SSB64 and Sonic the hedgehog. Super metroid got me into shooters, action adventure, open ended gameplay, and exploring, SSB64 got me into the multiplayer aspect of games, and sonic was my first game.

Street Fighter. I remember when the Arcade was the jump-off for the youths. It was no online gaming. Everyone hit the arcade with their allowance or whatever money they could scrap up. Shoved it all in a quarter machine and piled around Street Fighter. When It dropped for console my mother purchased it for me and I became a "Street Fighter head". Everyone released I would get the get the Strategy guide etc. That was the only game I did that with. It didnt start me with Gaming...Mario Bros on the Nintendo did....but Street Fighter pushed me for perfection......muuuuuha hahahahahah!!! LOL

Probably PONG, before that, Pinball. I remember getting the ATARI 2600 at launch, and that was pretty exciting. I got it for my nephews and grandkids, but I still wanted to play it. I was the best at the arcades, after long weekends of fishing in the 1970's, I would stop in and play the kids there. I was the master of so many gems on ATARI 2600, and that dominance continued to the ATARI 5200/Intellivision. Intellivision Baseball ruled.

The game that is my userpic...Adventure for the 2600.Steppy_76

Yeah, that was fun game, getting those keys to the gate, and avoiding the seahorses (Dragon's). The Easter Egg in that game was really cool, 1st game to have the DESIGNER get credit.

ACTIVISION was the worlds 1st 3rd party company, and back then ATARI sued them for making games on their console. Crazy era.

My father gave me his Atari 2600 and the first game I ever played was Phoenix. For a while that was all I played was the Atari, and then I heard about this amazing machine known as the N64. My parents finally went out and bought me it, and I was dumbfounded by the jump between the Atari and the 64. It was then that I became a true gamer.

Countless amounts of Sega and SNES games with my cousin when we were about 5. As soon as I got my PS1 with Crash Bandicoot and Cool Boarders it became official :D

Well I have been gaming since PONG...BUT...I dont feel PONG has made me the gamer I am today. I would say, since I play mostly FPS...Medal Of Honor on PC made me the gamer I am today. Well, that along with HALO C.E. on Xbox.

Well the first three games I really played a lot as a child that got me into gaming were Duck Hunt, Super mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 3. Super Mario 64 was what probably turn me into a true gamer. Oh, and you can't forget about Pokemon Red/Blue!
