How old were you and maybe most importantly was it worth it ?

Must have been Gran Turismo 3, during those days I was switching from pocket money to spending my own income so it’s not sure if GT3 was still a gift and GT4 was actually my first self bought game.
I do remember i owned the platinum edition of GT3 and GT4 was bought at release.
It was definitely worth it, Up until today I still dream about owning a race sim setup to do some serious racing and developing my skill. But I never got past a used Logitech G29 mounted to a desk and a chair that kept rolling away from the pedals type of setup.
I had a fairly long term of being unemployed during Covid which ended up in me buying that G29 as I spent a lot of time playing GT sport and finally for the first time ever got all gold on the licenses, so I knew I was making some good progress from all the time spent.
I even dared to try online racing and as I got better slowly managed to hold myself among others, which made me happy.
GT3 was the first game I played on my PS2. Still gorgeous game to this day.
Xenon 2 Megablast for the Atari ST, with my saved-up pre-teen pocket money. Was it worth it? Fuck yes.
Excellent game. Had it on my 386. Still love the music. I was terrible at it.
Yeah, I still hum that Bomb the Bass track at random times.
The Bitmaps just made hit after hit, and Xenon 2 was the first I got to play.
Yeah so I had been humming the tune to myself for years so I thought I should look it up on YT. The MS-DOS version was far far more basic. Never had an Amiga so didn’t know they redid it. It’s SOO much better on the Amiga but I do still love the old one too.

I think it was KotOR 🤔
Had games before on the ZX Spectrum but probably Prince of Persia (original) on our first PC. But it was a pirated version as that was all you could get in the country I lived in. First boxed game I bought was Sim City.
I was about 8 or 9ish. And yes, to both.
