Game Banter: Gaming through the years

I am back with this months question for Game Banter. It has been a while but I am glad I am back writing. This months question is “ What was the game that made you a gamer?”

I have been playing games ever since I was young. If I had to think about what games got me into gaming, there are a few. There are only two that really got me into it. The first one is Zelda: A Link To The Past. I remember going over to my step dads for the weekend and would play it all the time. I loved it and is still one of my favorite games. At that time, I was kinda into games but not really a “gamer.” You can say it kinda kick started my love for games.

Then years went by and I fell in love with another game. That game was Diablo 2. My step daddy Steve showed me this game and I loved it from the first minute. We had two computers right next to each other, so that we could play together. We also helped each other level up and did cow runs together. As soon as I got home we would get on the computer and play Diablo. It was a great time for us to bond and do something that we both love to do. We would alwasys have a blast playing games together. Thanks to him I love playing video games and can’t wait to show my son video games when he gets older.
