Hi folks, as we (I!) struggle with impatience through the last 80 or so days before BG3 release, and as the old BG games or other cRPGs have such warm places in many of our hearts … and as I enjoyed getting occasional glimpses into folks’ gaming pasts from mentions in other threads like the ones on what else we’re playing … I thought it might be fun to reflect on the games that most influenced our love of gaming and that perhaps shaped the sorts of games we most enjoy today.

So, what were the first games you played? What games first blew you away and made you the gamer you are now?

If there’s any interest in this thread, I’ll share mine too.
