What was the game that caused your gaming addiction to begin?

[Guest deleted194113433]

The first Doom game. I played it as a kid 28 years ago when I was 7, and I still play it to this day. I'm pretty sure I could beat both Doom 1 and 2 blindfolded at this point.

Yes. I played it when I was 7, and I still turned out fine.

Showing my age a little bit, but Pong started it. In more recent years, as an adult, Company of Heroes reignited it after 10+ years of not gaming at all.

Relax, barrettsfloyd. You're not the only aging gamer here. I passively played Pong and Atari's other offerings (Asteroids, Centipede, Pac-Man) on the 2600 back in the '80s but it wasn't until the first release of the Playstation that I became a full-on gaming addict with the game Diablo. I was so engrossed in that game that I lost my job.

The first game I really loved and played a lot was Diablo 3. I was 14 or 15 when it came out, but over the years I somehow lost interest in this kind of grindy Skinner box, so I never touched Diablo 4 when it came out.
