I will warn you now, at least some of these are going to be questions to which I will simply have no answer. Either I don't have a strong enough opinion, or I don't remember. Also going to try for two or three answers every time I post because I'm sure I'm going to miss days.
Day 1: First Video Game
Well, my first console game was Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt/World Class Track Meet (they were packaged together,) since my first console was the NES.
My first computer game... that's a tougher call. I seem to remember playing something called Danger Ranger on my dad's old Tandy CoCo when I was very young. It was a fairly standard platformer; I really don't remember much about it, besides the fact that I wasn't very good at it. But I would have been six or seven at the time, so that's not so astonishing. Also there might have been other games I played at the same time - a roguelike or two, some kind of car-racing game, any number of dungeon crawls. But it was a long time ago, and I can't remember titles.
Day 2: Favorite Character
Um. Wow. I've had any number of favorite characters over the years. But I think the one that held the position the longest would have been Setzer Gabbiani from Final Fantasy VI. I really loved the whole devil-may-care persona that overlaid a more complicated past. There was actually depth in that personality, and I loved it. Also, on top of that, I just really liked his character design. (Ever since playing that game, I've wanted a coat like that.)
Day 3: Underrated Game
And, see, this question bugs me, because what's the standard for being underrated? Underrated by whom? It doesn't help that I've played a fair spread of western RPGs (mostly on computer) and eastern RPGs, and what is underrated in one group of those fandoms is most definitely not underrated in the other.
Anyway. If I had to choose one, I'm going to go with the newest one I've played, in the hope of drumming up some interest in it - Folklore, for the PS3. It's a very strange little game, but lots of fun. The plot has a lot of twists and turns in it; I can honestly say that I had no idea where it was going by the time things really got crazy. The gameplay is an interesting mechanic, a play on the whole "steal attacks from monsters" idea and loads of fun to play with, and the character designs and backgrounds were fantastic, especially considering that it was released very early in the PS3's run. And yet, no one seems to have heard of it, and I find this sad.
