I have been gaming since I was a toddler - early years were are more about the platform than an individual title. When I was about 3 my Dad brought home Comodore64 that was decommissioned at work. Lots of fun stuff there.
The game that really dragged me into gaming was Baldur’s Gate2. It was a title that made me splinter from my older brother tastes and follow my own. It was first game that felt like immersive world and story to me, rather than a toy. What followed was year of playing and replaying any RPG I could find - all Infinity Engine games, Fallouts, Arcanum. Really though most of my high school I played almost exclusively RPGs and Tomb Raider games - the fascination with TR games came from unlikely place - a clunky TR clone named Indiana Jones and an Infernal Machine.
I also have to shoutout DosBox through which I discovered some amazing classics, when our family PC became unable to run modern titles (I beat Jade Empire on what must have been 10 FPS it was a laggy slideshow) like prince of Persia, Another World, Flashback, Pirates1, UFO: Enemy Unknown.
