(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So, I want to know what video game from any system got you hooked on gaming? (because obviously you are on a gaming forum now, lol)
I know for me it had to be the first Zelda on NES, you know with the cool gold cartridge. I know some of you new schoolers may not have a clue what that game was about, but the OG's of gaming will know.
Now that was the game that got me hooked, some of the games that kept me hooked were all the mario's, mario kart, Mortal Kombats, Killer Instinct, Metal Gear's, Fight Nights/Knockout Kings, all NCAA Football made by EA, almost all the EA Madden's, and last but not least the game that resurrected my love for gaming, Call of Duty 4 online. What I mean by that is I was done with gaming until a friend introduced me to the Call of Duty online gameplay and bam hooked like crack....again.
So with all of that said, What is the game that got you hooked? What are some of the games that kept you hooked?
As always, REP, THANK AND NOMINATE for entertainment reasons if nothing else.

The original Super Mario Bros on the NES is without a doubt THE BEST GAME EVER MADE. Other than that COD4 Multi had me hooked for a long time.

The original Super Mario, and then when I got my PS1 I was into Army Men by 3DO. PS2 era rolled around and I got into Dark Cloud, and then Kingdom Hearts. With PS3, definitely Call of Duty.


Army Men!! That was great.
For me, sports games, then COD.

I can't believe I forgot about the old school NBA Jam. That game was so dope back in the day. Remember you could be the Suns Gorilla and those secret characters? Brings back some good memories...

Thanks for the comments and rep...keep 'em BOTH coming please..

Well the game that actually got me playing regularly and often was COD4: Modern Warfare for the PS3. Before that, I had a PS3 and a Nintendo DS, but I was only playing them once or twice a week, for half an hour at a time. So the game that actually got me hooked on gaming was COD4. The only other game I had played a lot before I got that was a pokemon game in 3rd or 4th grade.

Now this is my kind of thread! The original Zelda was EPIC!!! Before I had NES I had a Sega master system and it owned. Some games that got me hooked was...
1. Techmo Super Bowl (w/ full rosters & ALL NFL teams. Raiders owned)
2. Ninja Turtles
3. Mario Bros. 3
4. Mortal Kombat 1
5. Metal Gear Solid PS1
6. Grand Theft Auto 3 PS2

The game that got me hooked on online play is COD4 without a doubt. I bought it and Assassins Creed and really didnt think I would like it because I havent ever played online games. One week later I was staying up all night daily playing COD. Like a crack fiend I was hooked!!!
