I was just thinking about what got me into different things like anime/ games/ comics etc and thought it would be fun to see what brought others into the fold. For me it was
Anime: Princess Mononoke, saw it when I was 10? And it completely floored me with the art style, story, and lore. Still my favorite anime movie to this day.
Video games: Sega Genesis/ sonic the hedgehog and altered beast with my older brother were great times when I was little and got me into gaming.
Comics: Spider-Man and X-men on fox kids in the 90s and Spawn in 97. My first official comic/ graphic novel was Wolverine: Origin
I got my start with Commander Keen Episode One: Marooned on Mars. A very endearing game that just isn't the same without the genuine motherboard noises to accompany it.
I haven’t heard of Commander Keen in years!
It's a classic. I remember having to get my Dad to write down the DOS commands to load it from the floppy disk when I was 4 or 5. Good times.
