I'd been playing video games pretty much all my childhood with "Mario" and "Alien Crush" (Pinball Game) getting heavy play. But the games that really made me fall in love with gaming (and made me a gamer, rather than a person who plays video games) were "Zelda: Ocarina of Time" and "Final Fantasy 7" (both purchased around the same time) for console gaming. And "Arcanum: of Steamworks and Magick Obscura" for helping to me to see my computer as a gaming machine as well. Special shoutout to Perfect World: International for getting me into MMOs, something I had written off as uncool and a waste of time, despite being a gamer. Until I saw this free one, liked the look, and decided to get over my prejudice against them and just try it. Very glad I took that leap.
