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? 😺
What was your character of choice in Smash 64?
I mained Samus way back when and absolutely destroyed my friends. We used to play stupid 20-stock games (yes they lasted forever 😂). I could almost take my friends in a 3v1.
I think I mostly played Pikachu, though I also remember a few instances of playing Fox,
