Mine was probably Digimon World (PS1). I remember that my family shared a save, and boy howdy anytime my turn landed on the in-training digimon we’d be screwed, because I trained them so shoddily we’d get the sentient puke monster.
But my first game I played with any sort of competence was Herdy Gerdy (PS2), a cute puzzle game where you’d herd made-up animals with instruments and stuff. I 100%ed it as a kid, but it really does still hold up!
Tell me, Burggit people, what were your first games? 😺
Rayman Rush on PS One. In hindsight, I think the Rayman series is so weird but it has its unique charms and it’s nostalgic for me, like how did one come up with Rayman’s character design?
I had to look it up, and wow - I think Rayman Rush might be the only demake I’ve seen! Neat!
I remember really liking the artstyle and some of the songs from the first Rayman game, but it was like, way too hard for me so I watched my older sister play it instead.
Today I learned what a demake is and the fact that Rayman Rush is a demake… If I haven’t played the game before, I would likely think that demakes are unsound creations, but if it weren’t for demakes, I probably wouldn’t have had the chance to play this game and enjoy the wonders of video games for the first time on a console.
