[1984]

With the money you earn yourself

I was working as an unpaid intern then, some guess are nice enough to tip me and I save myself a pile and bought Fallout 4 GOTY Edition on sale

[Lune]

Quake 3

[Dante]

probably the witcher 1

Half Life for $9.99

you did not specify pc game..

so that would be a fysical game.
while I do own a lot of boardgames most those I got as child for sinterklaas.

I think the first game I bought myself was a box of checkers.
-> for my dad.. not even to play but tI saw potential in it to craft something from it
(but it for 2.50 guilders.. sell for 250 euro)
**lets say people pay top buck if you print your own box and claim it is from some comic parc souvenir that only excisted 4 months in 1954...
nobody can check if it's real..
**and grafical design programs and printers by than were good enough you could print something in monocolour that could pass as "50s printing quality)

-it aint forgery if you are just imagining a new item out of thin air.. and heh they today sell for nearly 1000.. I always gniffle when I look online what people sell them now for.. after so many years (we sold them in the 90s) they STILL believe they are real.. ..you would have thought somebody figured it out by noiw;)

I came with the idea when i saw the box of checkers...

as you can see.. these were for the 90s.. already "old looking" in an era most things were plastic.

my dad was great in classical art.. as in painting, sculpting, cutting paper, than placing letters.. etc the annalog way and he was art-preserver.. and collection manager.. so it was easy for him to both detect forgeries.. and to create them.. from rusty nails.. to heatgun.. on paint to get cracks.. to get old antique dust and rub trough it.. to getting the right old paper wood or linnen and pigments.. to stain with old coffee...
all kind of tricks to make things look older and have the kind of wear and tear experts expect:P

and my older brothers were great with the pc and could easely under dos scan this.. and my dads drawings.. and combine them into new packaging...

great memory to my now passed dad... and great his handywork is STILL valued so much

I think it was like 3 second hand Sega Master System games for $5.
Sonic, Ghost House and some vertical scrolling shooter.

Wait. No. Bought the Gamecube before that. So Super Smash Bros Melee.

I have no money at all, if I had to earn them the hard way, and I doubt I would spend them on a video game. I bought my first legit copy of GTA5 and setting up the hardware for it with money I get from selling led TV.

looking back, its a promising job, its terrible I had to quit the job and feed my habit of gaming.

plumbers dont wear ties

[Lime]

The Sims

[Ulfrinn]

I think maybe Resident Evil.

[Incarnate]

Either Medal of Honor or Call of Duty.

[Chaosolous]

I think it was Paper Mario.

If we count my childhood when I made allowance money, then first game I bought was MegaMan X on the SNES many years back.

If we’re just talking about real job kinda money, well the first game I bought with money from my first job was Guitar Hero 3.
