I have literally never played a video game in my entire life

Look at Xbox/PS4/switch exclusives and get the one that has the most appeal to you. Or, build a PC and get the widest library possible. IMO the best setup right now is PC (gets most games, power to emulate anything from any gen besides the last two) and a Switch.

Go gen by gen and emulate them. I suggest starting with gen 3 and working your way up but that's probably because it was my first gen. In the end it's up to you how far back you can tolerate going.

You should play a bunch of old games first and work your way forward. Get an emulator and play some NES games. Then Super NES and Genesis, and so on.

Buy or build a PC. You get all the newest games (besides exclusives) and the power of emulation which allows you to play older games too.

Buy a Super NES Classic if you can't figure out how to use emulators.

>Which games are classics?

Super Mario 64
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Tetris
Doom (1993)

These are pretty good entry level games, general starting points for determining what kind of games you like.

Get yourself a PS4, a copy of the newest Call of Duty, Fifa, and your set

Yeah, if you can get your hands on the new Super Nintendo Classic that seems like a good place to start. Super Nintendo in general has some of the freatest games ever made. They may be a bit challenging for a beginner though.

Super Mario World
A Link to the Past
Donkey Kong Country
Super Metroid
Earthbound
etc.

Stay away from nintendo shit. Pokemon is a meme the games are garbage and no provide no satisfying challenge. Avoid the wii and wii u and get a switch since all the decent games they had on wii u are being ported over to it. Xbox dosen't offer anything except some fake ass 4k and most of their shit is on pc. PS4 gots a couple of exclusive gems but thats about it.

Name a better entry-level 3D platformer on Sony platforms than Super Mario 64.
Crash 2? Not nearly as inventive or diverse.
There may be "better" games out there in some cases, but the design of Nintendo's n64 games was in an era where the transition to 3D required games to be especially intuitive and enjoyable to play. This makes them incredibly easy for people who have never played a videogame before to get into, as they don't assume any prior mechanical knowledge.

Plus, SM64 deserves a lot of the praise it gets anyway, in my opinion. OOT is overrated for the most part, but it's still an excellent introduction to 3D action/adventure games.

You basically have no taste. Start with that casual shit.
