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

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.
Nifty Lifty!
i bought “sensible soccer” to impress my dad, how cool my amiga 600 was. he was not impressed. and i never was into soccer.
I think it was either Beyond Good and Evil or Guilty Gear Iruca for PC. And then there were psychonauts and Megaman X8, I think all of the were worth it. Guilty Gear Iruca might have been the weakest in the series for me but I had a lot of fun with it too, and it got me to try X2 later.
And the Megaman game was actually my favourite in the series, I liked having lower difficulty with Axel and replayed it a few times, I was surprised to discover that the difficulty changed the ending on my second playthrough. That was such a great time in gaming.
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.
the first grand theft auto. you had to be at least 13 to buy it and I think I was 12
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.
Platoon for C64. Saved up for it.
Piece of shit. And disc 2 didn’t work.
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.
With my own money… none, by the time I started working I wasn’t playing videogames anymore
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.
