What game made you fall in love with video games?

Tough question. I can probably narrow it down to two games, both on the 2600. One's Laser Gates, a simple scrolling shooter with mesmerizing effects. The other's Starmaster, a honest to god open world space sim on piddly piece of hardware.

This. But also, remember that passion alone doesn't pay the bills. Most indies underprice their games, are ignored by algorithms, undersold, some even unfairly blocked from selling... So check that your money actually moves in the direction you want people surviving and making things.

Oh , oh, oh - I have a factoid! One of the telemetry tracking systems used during the Space Shuttle program ran on a pair of Amiga 2500s

Amigas at NASA? Seems so! On a 1990/1991 demoscene slideshow disk, I found these cool digitizations. The classic worm logo as well!

In the unofficial translation patch for the fun but quirky tactical RPG Cyber Knight, the deceased captain's name ドニエプロフ is rendered as Donyprof. It is in fact a reference to a soviet sci-fi writer, Anatoly Dneprov, whose story about "crabs" is relevant to the game's plot.
i was going through my X archives and found this by @superpodsaga.com, which I qrt'd at some point years ago

so, let me bring the question back: what is the most useless piece of video game knowledge you know?

Here's the in game finale to R-Type Delta which is running so fast the buildings no longer sink, all particles are missing & the music hard cuts as it's all been scrolled off-screen. The whole game's like this, so the music sync'ing to the action in st.3, lol no etc

Also missing enemies, bugs etc

Sprites were too few and their transition looked jarring... but layering them directly over each other and manipulating alpha worked out great #godot #indiedev #gamedev

If I had a nickel for every time there was an eye candy game with amazing music called Unreal, and stylized as UnreaL, I'd have two nickels
which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice

Desolate sinking cliffs, ever beset by loathsome rain. Not many Eaters roam despite the harsh conditions, making them a rather safe place for Kin.
