Uhm. Doom was originally released in 1993. 30 years ago. Dragon age Origins was released in 2009. 14 years ago.
So...
Not quite. got a couple years before that's true.
FWIW, the first game I beat was the OG legend of zelda. I was 7, it was my dad's game and i wasn't supposed to be playing it for some reason. I got caught when my dad was strugling on the puzzles in the water temple and I gave some helpful advice.... ("We won't tell mom about this. now where did you say I go?")
the first PC game I got heavily into was Age of Empires, though, a lot of my friends played starcraft, and insisted it was better than AoE; so I played one game with them. (They were all so very patronizing.... so I let them be patronizing and then turned my ally to hostile and carpet-nuked the entire map.) (yeah. I went back to AoE after that, lol.)
my bad. I had 1996 in my memory, but that was the first Quake.
incidentally, I noticed that the doom comics were issued in '96 when I was double checking my facts. It's maybe annoying that I'm old enough to remember sneaking a copy of it
