I have been playing games for over 25 years now and i think that easily makes me a veteran in the world of gaming. The first game I that got me hooked into gaming was cannon fodder, it was the first game I completed and since then i haven't stopped.
What game got you hooked ?
Commodore 64: Fire Ant and Sub Sunk.
I was always getting annoyed in Sub Sunk when I tried to do something and it would tell me "you can't do that" when I asked it why, it just said "because you can't". The developers must have anticipated what people would ask and had the answers ready, even when I started to swear at the game it would come back with "tut,tut, such language".
Those were the days...
