On the first day, the question we have for you is "What was the first video game you remember playing that made you want to turn video games into a hobby?"
For me, it was The Black Cauldron. It wasn't the first game I played, which technically were the BASIC ski and dungeon games that required you to code them first. But, I had never truly experienced a real video game until then and I don't recall why my father bought it at all, but he did and I got to play it two years after it originally released, but it felt like a whole new world to me.
What I loved about the game was that it was the first time experiencing a game that combined story, world interaction, and the fear that clicking some random thing would suddenly result in death. For some reason, the frustration of trying to find that one thing that I needed after an hour of going through the same screens over and over just got me hooked. I couldn't let the game win and it drove me to finish the game eventually and then save up money for other games in the same genre, from King's Quest, Police Quest, Space Quest, Bard's Tale, and beyond.
On 16 May, the long-awaited release of the PC version of Ghost of Tsushima took place. And the game proved to be a great success on the first day.
It has surpassed spider man now

game did this with way shorter time than spider man.
VGChartz's Lee Mehr: "What makes Planet of Lana among the better success stories is how it emulates without forgetting to incorporate its own personality. It's a "Playdead platformer meets Studio Ghibli" without stopping there. What on its surface is a determined rescue mission blossoms into a planet-wide expedition succinctly tying a foreign world's history and Lana's heroic journey to interrogate our own presently discordant relationship with nature. Although – sadly – better strengths in presentation and theme aren't as evident within its game design, at least there are some quality nuances to the formula. Those half-measures do reveal Wishfully too often retreating to safety, but the collected successes elsewhere still make for an impressive debut that's easily worth playing."

Duck Hunt on the original NES.
Super Mario World, I remember taking turns with my cousins in their bedroom early mornings.
The first game that captivated me and made me truly want to be a gamer? The kudos could probably go to a few JRPGs back on the PS1, but I'll give major credit to The Legend of Dragoon. It encouraged me to explore other JRPGs and led me to many other noteworthy titles. To this day, my most fondly remembered games all share JRPG roots, but it caused me to seek games with similar themes, battle systems, general game play styles, and more that expanded into my highly varied tastes today.
Super Mario World. That was what started it all.
