What Got You Hooked on Games?
Another site I visit on occasion had a question of the day that got me thinking. They asked:
"What was the first video or computer game you ever played? Did you love it or hate it, and why?"
So I started thinking about it. The first few games I can remember were way, way back on my parent's Commodore 64. My dad's buddy copied a couple hundred games onto floppy disks for us and off we went. I don't remember much about those games, but I do recall playing one a lot called Jumpman. It was most likely my favorite, and likely due to the challenge at the time.
I've pretty much been hooked since. I got my hands on a Nintendo as soon as I could (saved up my allowance and money from shovelling walks and mowing grass...) and pretty much haven't looked back. I don't do console's much these days, I tend to game pretty much exclusively on my PC, but I'd have to say that I got hooked way back in those Commodore days.
