Couldn't give you the exact game that got me hooked, but I have been playing for pretty much my whole life. Earliest I can recall that could have gotten me hooked is either Yoshi's Story on n64 or some edutainment PC game where in one part you were moving pirate objects like a pyramid of cannon balls and other stuff away to clear a stone room.
Otherwise it could have been plenty of other games like some ps1 Egypt pharaoh themed game that was something like tetris or something similar.
Yeah same. My earliest gaming memories are the GBC Pokémon games, HOMM 3, Age of Mythology, and Rollercoaster Tycoon. Although yeah my parents had me on PC edutainment games like the Jumpstart series when I was even younger than I can remember.
I definitely had a few edutainment games I loved back in the day. Though closest I had to the Jumpstart series was probably just Hooked on Phonics. They used to be so much fun but now they'd just feel like a boring chore to play as an adult.
I also remember having one of the first 2 Rollercoaster Tycoon games on the family computer in the basement, but I couldn't recall which one to save my life.
