Super Smash Brothers: Melee was without a doubt the game that got me hooked on gaming. I put so many hours into that game that I developed thumb problems, but it was worth it to be able to play competitively.

Met my two best friends because of shared Dune 2 interest. Although the first craving I had was WarCraft 2. That was bad.

I was honestly quite surprised at how much I enjoyed The Legend of Zelda even though I played it after going through many other Zelda games.
One of my favourite aspects of it is how death was applied in the game and how it had a fair punishment. It sucked that you had to traverse your way back to whatever location you were at, but at the same time you never really lost any progression as you got to keep the rupees you gained, whatever knowledge you gained about the world, and dungeons never reset in progression.
I was really happy to see that the latest Zelda decided to take inspiration from the free form nature of the first game.

I don't remember what my first game ever was. I was always interested in it though. Something on the NES most likely but could have also been an arcade game of some sort.

My first "real game" was counterstrike 1.6 but I would say Skyrim is what really made me play more games.

Civilization I and DOOM. But there were so many games like Captain Comic, Sim City, Monkey Island, Wing Commander, The Patrician, Theme Park, Arcade stuff and many more. Had a neighbor who also liked to play otherwise i would have missed a lot.

Before I got my hands on a controller I seen my cousin playing Zelda on the Nes and thought it was the best thing I'd ever seen, then he let me play Super Mario Bros 3 and I was hooked. I got 'Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins' on the original Gameboy and then Pokemon came along . . .

What would you say is the first game(s) that got you from having a casual interest in games to someone really into gaming?
I would say I have two phases in this:
1) Super Mario Bros 2 on the Game Boy Advanced was the first time I really found myself getting into a game that made me want to play the rest of the series. It was a really solid game and I even 100% it because it was so fun. I also ended up getting the Game Boy Advanced versions of Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World because of it. And when I bought the Nintendo Wii I got Super Mario Galaxy and Super Smash Bros. Brawl because they also had Mario and I knew I would have a good time.
2) Super Smash Bros. Brawl is probably the game that ultimately got me into gaming in the sense that from then on I would look into the history and current happenings of the game industry. This is the result of the fact that SSBB takes characters from multiple Nintendo franchises and puts them all into one game. I was familiar with Mario and all Mario related characters, but pretty much everyone else was new to me (well, I was also aware of Pokemon, but only in terms of the trading cards). This got me into looking into the other characters and wanting to play the games they were in. The first character I ended up looking into was Link, and so I ended up playing The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. This was something new for me and I really loved it and now the Zelda series is one of my favourites. Another character I got introduced to was Ness from EarthBound, which is now one of my favourite games.
This in general got me into emulation and so it gave me a reason to look into the past of gaming looking for as many good games as I can that I might have missed out on. And nowadays I'm also always looking forward to new games as well, especially games that give new experiences which is most prevalent in the indie scene.
