what was your reaction when you played your first console 3d game?

[defgamer]

i remember playing super mario 64 and i totally pissed on my pants. it looked so beautiful(at the time) and it really changed the standard for platforming 3D.

I remeber playing Mario 64 for the first time and thinking where the hell am I supposed to go. I played it in a sears and Mario was already in level so I was just a little confused.

I remember playing Mario 64 and looking at the graphics thinking 'how could they get any better than this?'.

[Blaksmoke]

I played the first few hours of Mario 64 holding the controller wrong

"Holy damn this looks good"

[ChriZno]

Hmm the first time i played mario i was really confused... didnt know where to go, and i also held the constroller all wrong... :) :) figured it out though... but here in norway the expectations were really high for the playstation... if i remember correctly the psx and the n64 came out at about the same time... at least here in norway it did... so i was all caught up in the psx... guess the VERY FIRST 3d console game i played was, whoa let me think, this is a looong time ago... i guess the first game was crash bandicoot, (not sure here) but i wasnt really impressed though... it was cool and all, and i was stunned by the graphics, but never liked that game... it was waaay to kiddie style for me... i think i was about 14 at the time... (if the psx came out in 1997-98-ish that is)

I thought mario 64 was much cooler!! but never got a n64 though, so never got to play it very much...

When I played Virtua Fighter 2 on the Saturn. I was absoultly amazed.

[Gen]

^^Exactly, .. and WCW vs The World for the playstation, i thought wrestling reached its limit..

Mario 64, I can say was the first REAL 3D game I played,
I was like, OMG they cant ever beat this!

Boy, were we wrong... lol

[Seraph Sephiroth]

Final Fantasy 7 and The Legend of Zelda: OoT were my firsts.. I think..

I looked at the screen and said.. "Hey.. that's rad I can go where-ever I want! .. now to figure out these buttons.. hmm.."

[adrian100]

Four words.It was absolutely stunning.

[Majora]

Mario 64 was my first platformer in 3D. Wowee, that was awesome.

[Fiyer]

im pretty sure one of my first 3d games was resident evil and that game blew me away and i was amazed and addicted ever since i could go back to re 1 and play it all over again on the psx as i did on the gamecube

[=NukeBlaze=]

StarFox all the way. With its superior 3D engine(Half a dozen triangles glued together by a 2 year old) it was the first 3d-ish game I ever played. Then again mario 64 was the title breaker. It was by far the best platformer I had ever played in quite a long time and more than a game...A revolution

[Emmitt2222]

I just got utterly confused by the third dimension. I didnt know how to control Mario going in all different directions. It kinda freaked me out in a good way.

[Dwhitten]

lol yea I was a lost pup in 3D............

[Colin™]

Alright, this is what went down. I got to toys r' us years ago with my grandma on like one of the first days that n64 was out, or maybe it was one of those preview days....I don't remember. Regardless, I hit up the mario64 first, and started at the very beginning of the game. I thought the fly koopa guy was cool as shit, and the camera zooming was just mad fly. Controlling Mario was pretty freaky, I got used to it quick, but it did take a bit of adjustment. NOW, here is where I freaked about how awesome 3d was. I was crossing the bridge, and was like, I wonder if I can go in the water? So I jumped, and I WENT OVER THE FUCKING LEDGE!! I about shit my pants when I fell into the water. I was just amazed. Then, me being the tool I am, drowned mario in the water because I didn't know how to swim in 3d.

So yeah.

[defgamer]

It was something new to everybody, before water used to mean certain death, now you had to swim!

[andys]

when i first played zelda 64 ....i thought that the graphics were like reality and that it was not possible to do better graphics....guess i was wrong..

[Chris]

Bought 64 the second day it was out, got Mario a week later for an early birthday present. I was 11 and I handled that bad boy like it was nothing. I played that game like nobody's business, I was all over that piece.

[Link of Zelda]

Mine was Mario Party2.:eek:

Word. (lol) Same with me. I got my Saturn for Christmas, and it came with Virtua Fighter 2, Virtua Cop, and Daytona USA. First one I played was V. Fighter 2...I remember before I even had the system hooked up, I looked at the back of the box and saw the screenshots...I was like "my god, that looks hella good."
I got used to the controls for all the games quickly though...I remember that 3D never really phased me like it did some other people. In reference to someone else's post on the "water phenomenon", to me it was nothing special; I expected to swim the first time I ever plunged into 3D water. That was probably in part because I had played so much Sonic, and in Sonic water did not mean certain death; it meant swimming and running around in it, looking for air bubbles. The only thing that threw me off during the whole 3D revolution was putting the "video mode" on on the TV. Never had to do that before, and it took me and my Dad a moment to figure it out.
