First one I played was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 on the N64. I beat it several times.
I also owned Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 4 on the Playstation. They both were really great games. I think the later games focused too much on story and stuff, while the early pro skater games were just all about the skating.
But they really did pave the way for many more extreme sports games after that, like Pro Surfer, Dave Mirra BMX, Aggressive Inline and the much more realistic Skate series. But those games made me want to start skateboarding. Through skateboarding, I got introduced to aggressive inline skating, and it's been my passion for the past few years. So, I guess, in a way, Tony Hawk Pro Skater changed my life.
