For me it was definitely DOOM 2! Miles ahead of anything else I had played before.

    I’m in my 40’s so I grew up on all the classics like Wolfenstein, Doom, Apogee based games (Jazz Jackrabbit, Duke Nulsen, ROTT, etc) but the game to truly blow my mind came later when I first played Half-Life.

    Playing a game which had such a compelling story had me hooked. I felt so invested in the plot and character development.

      I’m in the same age group. Wolfenstein 3D and Doom are the ones I grew up on as well, but the first game that really blew my mind was Microsoft Flight Simulator 4. It was especially cool to me that I could easily fly around the area I grew up in from the starting position at Meigs Field in Chicago.
