As the title says, what's the first video game site you ever went to (or at least remember going to)?

For me, I'm pretty sure it was The Mega Man Home Page. I still have fond memories of sneaking into my brothers and (among other things) looking up tips for Mega Man. If it weren't for those tips, I probably never could've gotten into that series, and then I doubt I would be the gamer I am Today.

If we've gotten into an argument, it's okay. I'm probably not holding a grudge against you. Why? Because I like you!

I think it was Zelda Dungeon. That or IGN.

I think it was the "Revista Nintendo" site but that was many years ago(at least 7) that magazine is gone for good and so is the site...

Oh man, it's been so long now, I'm not totally sure.

I might've gone to a few game websites before then, but I want to think the first one I visited somewhat regularly was The Grand Adventures, which was a Zelda site that no longer exists.

Gamespot and/or VGMusic. I'd be genuinely surprised if more than one of you recognize that latter site.

I think it was probably Gamespot, but mainly for the cheats and walkthroughs.

It was probably Gamespot or IGN. I'm not good with remembering stuff like this, so I can't give a satisfactory percentage split between which one I was more likely to visit first.

Hmmm probably GameFaqs.com or at least thats what I can remember. I remember going onto their site on the school's computers back in my senior year of high school in 96. Since back than that was the only way I could get onto the internet since my parents refused to by me a computer.

Holy cow, I haven't thought about VGMusic in years! I used to go there all the time - and, honestly, the site looks exactly the same as when I last went there.

I really have no idea. It might have IGN,PCgamer or GameFaqs.it was most likely some random walkthrough site.

It might've been Zelda Planet or Nintendo Land (the site, not the game)

There's a website called: www.gameinformer.com I luv that website and I have an account on that website, too. On that webstie... my profile name is Warrior. That was the game related website I joined. I luv Gameinformer.com and I use my Warrior profile alot. I joined Nintendolife recently because GameInformer doesn't really cover alotta Nintendo news.

I own a Wii U and 3DS. I also own a PS4!
