Minecraft. It was probably the inspiration for my entire career path, to be honest. When I first played it, it ran horribly. I had an Athlon II and 4gb of ram running Windows Vista. After a few months I bought some AMD gpu that was waaaay too big for my Dell SFF case. I tried modding (read “hacking up”) my case, but couldn’t get it to fit. Wound up building an entirely new computer about a year later after scraping up all my birthday and Christmas money. After that I bought a high refresh rate monitor, then a better mouse, keyboard, and you know how the story goes from there.
First game was Dark Forces. Family PC didn't have enough RAM so my dad and I ventured into the world of hardware tinkering.
Most current game is most likely going to be Starfield. I built my current PC in 2020 with those first pandemic checks. My specs are all at the recommended, except for my GPU, which is the minimum. So if the game is good at launch I'm going to probably look to upgrade my GPU.
Metro 2033. I used to play it on my Dad's slightly more powerful machine until I could upgrade my machine. One of the best examples of art direction and great graphics being utilized together. Last Light looks like a PS4 game no matter what platform you play it on. Easily one of the best looking games ever.
Full Throttle.
Had a 386 and the game required a 486 so I bought a Cyrix 386 to 486 replacement. Worked decently well.
