How old were you and maybe most importantly was it worth it ?

SimCity 2000. I got all my money’s worth out of it as I played it a ton. Came on 2 3.5" floppy disks and the fastest mode, African swallow, ran pretty slowly on my Packard Bell 386 SX. Later I got a Pentium 133 and it ran amazingly fast on that. I still play it from time to time.
Classic game. Near perfection
Altered Beast came free with the Sega Mega Drive I bought as my first console.
You enjoy it ?
That I bought myself? Dragon Warrior. I bought it from a teenager who lived nearby for 5$ (a couple hundred when adjusting for inflation). He even threw in a cut out of a Nintendo power article on how to beat it.
Was it worth it? Absofuckinglutely!
Elfmania for my Amiga 500
Bought for me: the NES deluxe kit with console, controllers, light gun, and Mario/Duck Hunt.
I first bought Super Mario Bros 3 as in, with my own money.
Sounds like 80s gaming heaven
With my own money: Link to the Past. Most definitely.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Z_(video_game) Worth it, played the hell out of it. Though I’m not sure if I ever beat it.
I didn’t beat most games I played when I was younger
World Grand Prix for the Sega Master System 2.
Technically the second ever game I owned, as the system came bundled with Alex the Kidd in Miracle World.
Was maybe 6? at the time.
I have fond memories of Rocky on my Master System
Didn’t think I played that, until I Googled some screenshots and it flooded me with unblocked* memories!
That was from a time when my parents would let me rent a new game from Blockbuster or a Video Ezy once a month or so, to supplement the 1-2 new games I would otherwise get per year.
I ended up playing a lot more than just the handful I remember owning - Bonanza Bros. being the most notable.
I lived for the weekend trips to blockbuster.
Final Fantasy IV, completely worth it and I still have it. My parents were mad that it was $40 used.
I didn’t sell many games back, but for some reason, I sold that same game store Mega Man V for Game Boy complete-in-box, probably for a pittance.
i bought “sensible soccer” to impress my dad, how cool my amiga 600 was. he was not impressed. and i never was into soccer.
Starcraft
Pretty sure it was Quake
Could your computer run it xD mine couldn’t :(
Two answers to this question.
The first game that my parents bought for me was Wing Commander from a garage sale when I was like six.
The first game I bought on my own was Freelancer when I was around fifteen via eBay.
Both were totally worth it.
Space goodness both classics in their own right
Baldur’s Gate 2. The manual was so good, and the map. You’d pay $200 for some kind of special edition for that quality these days. Totally worth it.
Don’t make me them like they use to
Super Mario All Stars bundled with a SNES. I remember going to the supermarket with my grandmother to get it.
