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

The Ball. Because at the time I played only cs on steam being a kid with no income. The Ball was 99$, couldn’t run at all and I needed to buy something at the time to actually add people to my friendslist.
Ran like a slideshow on my 8086 monochrome.
SimCity 2000. I got all my money’s worth out of it as I played it a ton. Came on 2 3.5" floppy disks and the fastest mode, African swallow, ran pretty slowly on my Packard Bell 386 SX. Later I got a Pentium 133 and it ran amazingly fast on that. I still play it from time to time.
the first I remember buying with my own money probably The secret of monkey island
Something called “Hang On Harvey”. It wasn’t tech though. It was plastic.
Can’t remember the specific one but probably one of the Dizzy the egg games for the Spectrum.
The Settlers 3
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
A PC game called Iron Helix. I was really young when I got it and it has already been out few years at that point so I’m pretty sure it was a discount re-release I found in a bargain bin.
Back in the FMV craze of the nineties, it was one of the better titles. It’s an incredibly tense cat-and-mouse game, kind of like a 3D Pac-Man. You control a scientific research probe navigating a drifting deep-space battleship in an attempt to prevent it from autonomously attacking a peaceful planet, all while trying to work out what happened to the crew and deciphering the clues they left, and the whole time you are being hunted by the ship’s security robot with nothing but a chiming proximity sensor letting you know when it’s approaching. Brilliant game, super tense.
First I rember buying with my own money is zelda oracle of ages for gbc I would have been about 13, and it was absolutely worth it.
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.
I had games brought for me, but the first game I brought was GTA III (cos I was 12ish and my parents refused to buy it for me)
And yes it was worth it, blew my mind back in the day.
I think it was new super mario bros for the ds
