What's the game that made you say "Hey, this is fun. I wan't more."

 

For me, it's the original Diablo. I played other games before but I played them rather casually, with no real motivation to finish the game. But after Diablo, for almost every game that I play, if it has a single player campaign, I play to the finish.

 

So what's the game that got you started in the wonderful world of gaming? What lured you to the dark side?

Super Mario Bros on the NES.

Metal Slug always a classic

[linuxxwindows]

Nung elementary uso pa yung mga videohan na huhulugan mo ng piso piso, Metal Slug, King of Fighter, Marvel vs Capcom tapos may mga adult games din yung may puzzle tapos mahubaran mo yung babae, then nakikilaro sa mga friends at sa tito sa PS1/PS2. Nung highschool na ayun naglaro na ng Counter Strike, Yuri's Revenge, Ragnarok Online at iba pang nostalgic games. Yun dun na ako nahook sa gaming at pinursue ko din course ko as comsci.
