Tetris on old monochrome monitor. Sounds funny now, but once it was a very advanced thing. That opened a world of computers and video games for me.

Answer 4

As much as I LOVE the Zelda series, I would have to say Super Mario Brothers 1. It was the game that came with my Nintendo, the first video game system I really owned. It took it from a hobby to a passion.

Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was a huge passion as well.

Answer 5

Captive for the Atari ST. I had played many games, and had such systems as the Coleco Vision (w/ atari adapter) Commodore 64, Amstrad CPC128, but Captive was the first game to get me hook, line and sinker!

The one game that always kept me playing for hours on end were the Mario games ! From the NES to the SNES to the N64, I could never get enough of Mario and it's the sole reason why I bought a Wii just to download those great old games from Nintendo's virtual console.

The N64's Goldeneye is another game that kept me playing for hours !

Answer 21

Resident Evil 4, surprised?

I would play that game for what I thought was just 2 hours, then I realized I missed dinner. I would always play that game whenever I got the opportunity, it was so addicting. No other game BEFORE that ever got my attention ( besides Super Mario of course), because, I have to admit, I didn't no anything about good games until I played that ( I made bad decisions in the past). But now, 2 years ago, thanks to Resident Evil 4, I know to distinguish the good from the bad

Answer 31

Probably Final Fantasy X or Kingdom Hearts II! Both PS2 games, they rock! I would play for hours! :)
And also, Super Mario 64 and Zelda Oceania of Time! I don't know if those are the correct names, but I started playing those when I got a N64.
