Just as the title says...What game got you started. This assumes you play a little more then the average person does. It means you're a "true" gamer in the sence of all the time and devotion you put into your gaming. So lets hear what got you guys started. Your "entry game"

For me it was Wolfenstein 3D.
I remember making maps for it with WolfEdit way back when. Ya sure I had the original Nintendo unit with Mario/duckhunt, but when I played that it was more of a liesure thing.

Halo was the first game you EVER played that really got u into video games?

and thats correct...halo 2 is not available for PC and may never be. Bungie has not released an official statement about that yet.

it was in many respects a copy of space invaders . with a little extra : beetween certain waves of ennemies , a part of the little ship ( i guess it was suposed to be a ship ) was going to the top of the screen then coming back to the bottom while going from one side of the screen to the other at the same time and you had to catch it . it was a great game for the time and got me hooked , along with a few of nintendo's game & watch the following year , until in 1982 when i got the atari VCS 2600 .

It was the original Doom on my brothers laptop, back in the late 80's / early 90's that did it for me. Everything computer related from then on!

The original Sim City on MAC did it for me! I spent an entire summer, every waking moment I wasn't in class or doing homework, playing it. Had an absolute blast!
