How old were you and maybe most importantly was it worth it ?

the first I remember buying with my own money probably The secret of monkey island
Can’t remember the specific one but probably one of the Dizzy the egg games for the Spectrum.
I think, it was Duke Nukem 3D, or Warcraft 2, and I’m pretty sure it was on a pirated CD of 100 in 1 games, but maybe those were later
Pretty sure it was Quake
It might have been a used copy of Guild Wars 1.
StarCraft. I tried to make friendly AI by messing around with the editor, to make the AI do what I want at certain times, mimicking an ally.
That I bought myself? Dragon Warrior. I bought it from a teenager who lived nearby for 5$ (a couple hundred when adjusting for inflation). He even threw in a cut out of a Nintendo power article on how to beat it.
Was it worth it? Absofuckinglutely!
Altered Beast came free with the Sega Mega Drive I bought as my first console.
i bought “sensible soccer” to impress my dad, how cool my amiga 600 was. he was not impressed. and i never was into soccer.
If you mean own and not earning the money, Sonic 2 for Game Gear and god, it was worth every cent, what a great game
This seems sad to me. I never “grew out” of playing video games. My tastes have changed a bit, but I still enjoy playing to this day. To not play anything anymore would feel like losing something.
Yeah, idk circumstances change, life is change
My only question then is, why are you on a games oriented comm? Random stumble?
Bought for me: the NES deluxe kit with console, controllers, light gun, and Mario/Duck Hunt.
I first bought Super Mario Bros 3 as in, with my own money.
Back when I was 12 or 13, I saved up money for a PSP bundle. It came with a leather case and… Ridge Racer . Unfortunately, I didn’t think of a proprietary Sony memory card so I had to play it from scratch every time I turned the PSP back on. Once I got the memory card, I also got myself Ghost Rider which was surprisingly good for a licensed Marvel game. Basically, it alternated between hack & slash/beat 'em up levels and racing segments with obstacles to avoid and enemies to beat up with your chain. It also had unlockable comics for collecting certain skulls in levels/during challenges, so I spent hours with it either playing or reading comics on a tiny LCD screen.
With my own money, it would have been some ZX Spectrum budget title. I clearly remember Fantasy World Dizzy being mine and I think I bought it with my own money rather than it being purchased for me, so I’m going to go with that.
Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers.
The 3.5" floppy version for PC.
In a box, off the shelf at Kmart.
