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? 😺
Shit, I was so young when I played my first video games, trying to think what it could possibly have been. It was probably some random SNES game my dad had before my parents even thought of letting their kid play games (or having kids for that matter), or Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo (or some other Humongous Entertainment game). Putt-Putt is probably the earliest game I played with any sort of competency. The kingpin Super Mario World was probably the main game on the SNES.
