      Elite was the first “proper” video game I played on a computer. Before that it was all games in the arcade, and on the Atari 2600.

      Also (from a certain point of view) the first RPG I played (excluding D&D obviously – I’m not an animal!).

      • Elite (Spectrum),
      • Gauntlet (arcade then Spectrum),
      • Dragon’s Lair (arcade),
      • Star Wars (arcade),
      • The Hobbit (Spectrum)

      with a bonus mention for “The Empire Strikes Back” on Atari 2600.

      So yeah – all these games people played as “teenagers” are games I started playing last year, relatively speaking :)

    By pure numbers, mine has got to be GTA San Andreas since I only had a PS2 for the longest time. I think that might be why I kinda hate games now? Buying a new game and you get maybe a couple dozen hours if you’re lucky kinda sucks. Oh it’s just a campaign of like 9 missions? And the missions are pretty linear? idk man, might be worth like $10 but definitely not fullprice $60 or even half off $30.

      You really aren’t.

      The first one on my list was a game in the arcade, then a game on the Atari 2600 :)

        Damn, Atari 2600 looks so old. The oldest I have is nes kungfu. The sound effects are classic.

    I can only think of 4 big ones.

    HellMOO, based on LambdaMOO, a text based game/roleplay/sandbox engine.

    Blockland, a Lego kind of game about building with much more on top (like how Minecraft is a building game with more to it)

    Zelda Majora’s Mask / Twilight Princess.

    GTA San Andreas (Multi Theft Auto / SA multiplayer mods)

    Maybe something like Creatures. I still think of those games.
