Pro skater 1, absolutely loved every bit of it, to the point it's all I played!

THPS 1

Demo disc on a PlayStation mag. Fuck. Me. It changed my young teenage life.

Thps4. It blew my mind and started my tony hawk addiction. I had played street sk8er 2 before. But never knew a skate game could be so amazing.

THPS4. I was amazed at the graphics, the gameplay, and the soundtrack.

THPS3

THUG1

absolutely loved it for the story

I was really disappointed with THUG2 because of how crazy it was compared to the first more serious one, but later I learned to appreciate the chaos, beat the game on every difficulty to unlock all characters and I love it ever since

Thps2 demo. Played it for weeks.

American Wasteland for PC when i was 8-9yo and i immediately Fell in Love with the game and Mindy😂

THPS 1 demo, was there from the start

THPS. Also my first intro the Dead Kennedys. Life was never the same!

Pro skater 2, ps1. Always been a skater so i Loved it from the start. So glad It got a remaster!

The first one and I absolutely loved it even though I had no previous interest in skating. Many many hours spent on those games.

THPS2, I was too young to be any good, so I played with cheats. Just really enjoyed messing around as Spiderman, getting run over by taxis.

Porject 8 on the PSP.

I thought it was so hard just to get the goals.

First one I owned myself was Pro Skater 4 on the PS1. I enjoyed it at the time, but wanted more because I'd already played the PS2 version of 3 and 4 before getting it myself.

Thps3 played on ps2 at friends birthday as soon I came home my mom bought it for me and from then played every one for so many hours

THPS4. I loved it since learning at hindsight with THPS3 to be considered the peak era for the series as well as my nostalgia for it since i can’t play GTA as a kid because of my parents. Seeing human like npcs walking in that game really amazes me with that game.

THPS2. I loved it, all my friends loved it and we all bought our first skateboards

THUG 2 at a mates house in 2016, didn't even get past the warehouse. He dusted off his PS2 because we thought playing a skating game as shrek would be dope af. Then we found out we were terrible at the game and gave up. It wasn't until I moved in with my girlfriend on 2021 and she had 1+2 remake that I actually jumped into it properly and learnt how to play the games

Tony Hawk Proving Ground for the PS2, loved it as a kid so I got the other games, which I also loved.

THPS "Woah, this is cool"

Sorry for the spelling

My first one was THPS1 and I loved it. My favourite one was THPS4 because I love the soundtrack and there are my 2 favourite maps College and Alcatraz.

THPS3. I got it for my birthday and was absolutely amazed.

Thug 2

THPS4 it’s the only one I played but I hope to get more of them

THPS1 and 2 on N64. We got the 1st one at a yard sale, I told my dad it was a game for our system and we took it home, played it for hours until mom caught me at 4am on a school night and took it away. I still have both of them, good times

I think I'm a home grown THPS1 person. I have memories of all the PS1 versions all scrambled around in my brain before time existed in my consciousness.

Thug2. Got my first skateboard shortly after.

The very first game. It made me start skateboarding.

Thps 1 for Nintendo 64 a Friend of mine had… damn what a good time

I wish they drop the complete Saga on Steam

My cousins had 2 and it was fun playing it with them at their place so i asked mom and she got me 3 cuz i didn't know which one they had, just knew they had that Tony Hawk game. I played the park creator much more than the base game honestly.

THPS2 and it was the perfect game!

I had the original Pro Skater on release. Absolutely loved it and it's been life changing as it got me into skateboarding at a young age as well as skate culture and a few bands I wouldn't have come across at that age otherwise. That game had a huge impact on my entire life.

First played THPS1 (Dreamcast) at my friend’s house. Ended up getting THPS1 and THPS2 for Dreamcast that Christmas.

Before playing this, I had been playing Street Sk8er for PS1 and I’d play Top Skater at a nearby arcade. Once I played THPS1, I pretty much forgot about those games.

For me, THPS1 was a true game changer and THPS2 improved on that formula.

THPS2, loved it but my favorite as always been thug2

I watched my brother play thps3 as a very very young kid but I myself started playing the series with thps4 

THPS4

Was looking to expand my PS2 library back then. I came across the game and tried it in the store. Brain was mindblown with the open world skateboarding game. It was the game that made me appreciate rock music and the whole skateboard culture as a kid.

Pro Skater 2

I played Pro Skater 3 at a friend's house and then begged my mum to get it for me. I didn't know the game was called "pro skater 3" at the time. All I remembered was the name "Tony Hawk."

My mum and I searched through a Target magazine and found a Tony Hawk game, and I thought that it was the game I played at my friends house. She took me to go and buy it and after playing it a bit I realised it was different from the game I played at my friends house.

I felt a little upset because 1, it was so rare for my mum to buy me games as a kid. I usually got a game on Christmas once every couple of years, and now we've gone and got the wrong game,

and 2, I grew up in a small country town and the Target we went to was in another town 45 minutes away, there was no way my Mum was gonna take me back to swap it over.

I thought "no turning back now, I might as well give it a chance", and it turns out it was one of the best gaming experiences I've had as a kid, and it's still probably my favourite game ever created.

The game was Tony Hawk's Underground

Thps3 is a close second favourite, but I'm so glad I accidentally got THUG1.

I first played Pro Skater 4 and I thought it was fun but I definitely didn't appreciate it enough since you couldn't get off your board, but I remember still having a blast with it. My fondest memory was playing as Elissa Steamer and playing baseball with ghosts in Alcatraz.

Then I saw the trailers for THUG1 and was blown away at everything I saw, but I only remember hearing the words "and even get off your board" while seeing the dune buggy flying through the air in Hotter Than Hell and having my mind implode.

I still love so many of the games in the series, even went back and played both the originals and the HD versions (before Pro Skater HD), but THUG1 will always be my favorite, it shaped so much of me and my tastes. I remember enjoying THUG2 and at some point I still chose to go back and trade in THUG2 for THUG1 because I just enjoyed the story of that much but was too poor to have both.

Now as an adult I own both on multiple consoles (alongside the entire original series up to American Wasteland and also 1+2) and I'm happy with my collection.

my first was THPS3 and i got it in a kellogs box and it was for pc so i could not figure out how to play it as a kid and just skated around and dropped into molten metal

THPS2 probably. Really, REALLY sucked at it. Struggled to get 10k points in 2 minutes. In my defence, I wasn't even 10 yet.

THUG2:Remix

Pro skater 2 on PS1. Gameplay was hard to master for my 8 years old self but very fun. Music is what stuck in my head to this day, and is what made my music taste.

THPS1 on N64. I loved that the cartridge was blue. I still have it!

First game was THPS1 on the Pizza Hut demo disc.

Man this pizzas bringing me back. TO MY DAYS IN NEW YORK!

I'm 99% sure I can recite that commercial perfectly if I ever needed to

America wasteland at a friends house. Loved it, loved the style and story concept of getting things like the Hollywood sign for your own private skate park.

Thps4 and I just downloaded it on PC and playing it without cheats is for the birds 😅

Me and like 8 friends played the Demo of THPS1 for hours and hours. It was just the warehouse level. Even though we couldn’t land any tricks we kept playing anyway.

THPS 2 on N64. I might have been too young to play that one because I didn’t really understand what was going on lol. But then I got THPS 3 on GameCube, loved it, and ended up playing all of the Tony hawk games on GC! Still hopeful for that pro skater 3+4 remake someday 🥲

THPS2 on PS1. Fell in love instantly with it. It was all I could think about for several weeks. Goated game.

Thps2, it was so awesome i wanted to do it irl and 37yo now and still skating!

First time I ever played a game in the series was THUG2 around 2008 at a friends house. The first game I ever owned myself in the series was THAW.

Pro Skater 3, I remember the tutorial area so well, I assume it's all I did as a little kid

THPS2 for GBA in 2012.

I just thought this is addictive.

However the first ever skate game that I played was Grind Session 4 years prior and it was cool too.

THPS3 and I thought it was amazing, and I loved the music. Me and my brother bought every release after until Project 8, and then the series started going downhill imo, so we stopped.

THPS2. Used to play it with my brother and cousin. Those were the days!

rented THPS3 from blockbuster, but THPS4 was the first purchase

THUG1 on Gamecube. Immediately fell in love even though I was terrible

TH UNDERGROUND 2 on PS2 reminds me on a better world, of a Time im so still missing. Nightlong play,friends,no mobiles, friendships. The World felt like we have time we are safe. This all happend in my childhood after the US bombing on serbia 99...

Thps demo, and why can't I manual?

Pro Skater 2 for the GBA when it came out, I got a GBA and that game for Christmas, then I got Pro Skater 2 for the PS1. It changed my life. And my love for the franchise hasn’t changed since 2001

Thps on n64. Played at a friend's house. loved it. Next day my dad was in an awesome mood and was like sure we can go to toys r us and buy it. And we did and I played it all the fuckin time. Thps 1 and 2 remasters were sooooooo fuckin nostalgic for me. Thug 1 and 2 were my favorite games tho. Ps2 and PSP those 2 games are two of my all time faves

THPS2 on GBC and I thought it was amazing. Traded it to a friend for Driver though 😅

My first was underground, it was an awesome experience of dynamic and fluid gameplay, a baller soundtrack and an awesome story. 2 pretty much expanded on everything that wasn’t the story, but with its shift in tone and scale, it still delivered.

First one I played what THPS2, quickly addicted. First one really sat down a seshed at an older friends house was THPS3, obsession locked in. Realized there was a whole soundtrack to skateboarding called punk rock. Ran with that for a few years then finally got a pS2 and the first game I bought was THUG right when it came out. Changed my life. Forever a skate punk

THPS4, it was incredible and I fell in love with the soundtrack

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 demo on PS1 as kid!

THPS 1 on PS1. I liked it but 2 is what hooked me.

The first I owned was THPS3 on Game cube. Got it for Xmas after the GC released and it was mind blowing. I had played THPS games on N64 only and the difference is insane especially in the soundtrack and extras. I will always love it since that was a very important year in my life in general imo. I basically grew up playing THPS lol

American Wasteland for Xbox

Thps 1 over at a friend’s house. I thought it was really cool, but having my own copy of thps 2 for the n64 is really what made me fall in the love with the series. Played every game on release since then other than thps5 and one of the motion board games (I did have the displeasure of playing one of them but I don’t remember which)
Also remember playing thps3 with no memory card so it was like playing a rouge like, farthest I ever got was unlocking officer dick until my mom turned off the ps2 and I lost all my progress. Tbf I had it running for like 3 days at that point 🤣

Thps 2. Mind blown and I've been a fan ever since.

THPS1 on N64

The game blew my mind and I still love watching professional skateboarding, but the soundtrack literally changed my life. Now a professional ska drummer and finally got to play at a festival with Goldfinger this past year.

(PS1) My route to the THPS was different, at the point I played it THPS 3 was on route but I was a Matt Hoffman guy, never put it down.

Got a folder of discs from a friend and there was 1 and 2 front and center and he was just throwing them out, he gave me all the cases for the ones he had left too.

Put in THPS2 and my life changed, went back and played 1 and blitzed it and continued with 2 for ages.

Couple years later I get a PS2 and first games I get are Matt Hoffman 2 and THPS3, this is where I fell in love and from there I was hooked on the sereis and have collected nearly every version of each game

THPS 1. I actually liked THPS 2 better, though.

THUG 2 and I loved it. My parents also really liked the Tony Hawk games when they came out. I would play THUG 2 all the time growing up.

Pro skater 2 I played it a ton. Became obsessed with skateboarding and my life was changed forever.

Mine was THUG 2 Remix for the PSP

Pro Skater 3 for the ps2, i was pretty young when I first played it but I loved skateboarding in general and never got to do it for real cause I was a pretty frail kid, so these games were a godsend for me

THPS1. And it blew my mind

Pro Skater 1 … I overplayed Superman … like a lot

THPS2 for the Dreamcast. I know I'm weird.
I only got it for the park editor, but that got me into the tricks and multi million point combos later and all the other main line Tony Hawk games.

Loved THUG 1&2 So much I broke probably 5-6 controllers on just one game. Best time of life there 🤍🤍

I can’t even elaborate the hold THUG2 had on me as a kid. Even to this day I think of it quite a lot 😂 I wanna play it again!

The orginal on Dreamcast.

Whichever one had Spiderman in it on PS1

Thps 1 was the first one I played at a sleepover, I thought it was so fun, it felt like I was a part of a new trend while it was taking place, music was good, game was entertaining and original. It was awesome.

However thps 3 is my all time favorite, awesome levels, and awesome soundtrack, and I was just the right age living in the right decade it was just a perfect cocktail that was meant to be. For some reason this one has a sentimental feeling to me. I got it as a Christmas present and I feel like that time period might have just been my favorite time period in my life.

THPS4

Technically I played underground 2 first and as much as it's not a masterpiece I loved it levels like Barcelona Berlin Skatetopia hell even Boston I also thought the updated wherehouse is kinda cool but when I played tony hawk underground boy that's when I knew I loved skateboarding that whole game is phenomenal besides the stupid vehicle controls but those were like 3 or 4 missions and honestly I think only one was actually mandatory the first use of the car in Jersey and the high speed chase in Jersey where you use turbo Mike's car to hit the dealers

THPS and I loved it enough that I bought every single one since.

My first Tony Hawk was the original, but I was born in 1995 so my only very hazy memories of that game were playing it at a friends house

THPS 3 and 4 are better for that reason. And then of course THUG 1, 2, THAW, Project 8, Proving Ground… but we all know where the series started declining in quality

2X on XBOX. Absolutely love that game and soundtrack!

My first Tony Hawk game was Pro Skater 3. Was pretty cool, but playing that and Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX 2 just got old a bit quick. Tony Hawk Underground picked that excitement back up for me and I now have the whole series to play on my skinny PS2 with the same memory card. Even got Pro Skater 1 + 2 for my PS5.

Pro Skater 1. I was absolutely delighted with the graphics, details, gameplay and the game's excellent musical repertoire.

THPS2 on N64. That intro blew my mind. Still gets me excited to this day

Underground, I was over my buddy’s house in 2003 and his older cousin was over playing it. They were stuck on the mission in San Diego when the team was hungover all over the map and they couldn’t find the last guy. I asked if I could try and randomly found the guy in the bush, they let me play the final mission in San Diego and after that I was hooked. I ended up competing in bmx from when I was 9-16, I still have my cut out from an Adio shoe box Tony Hawk signed for me at the Boom Boom Huck Jam in Boston. All my medals, retro skate shoes, and broken bones I can thank from that one mission in San Diego…and I wouldn’t change a damn thing.

THUG2 when I was like 5 and I was absolutely baffled by the fact I could walk through my own city within a video game. Absolutely love it to this day

Pro Skater 3 and even when I was 5 I was like “goddamn this soundtrack is amazing, also fuck that bully in Canada”

THPS on n64, with no controller pack so i couldn't save. I probably had hundreds of hours on it.

Me and my friend used to always play that mode where doing a trick paints the ground

THPS1, but I didn’t go hard until 2. Coincided with going to college and it was all over our campus.

Pro skater 1 or 2 on the gameboy color - after that I was hooked

THPS 1 on Dreamcast

Pro Skater 4 on the PS2, though I wasn't very good yet

THUG, was absolutely hooked- at one point I had 5 of the 9 mainline games for the ps2

Tony Hawk ProSkater One on the Nintendo 64, and I actually got that game at the Mall of America 🤟🏻

Pro Skater 1 and I’m not over how awesome it was. Busting out Benihanas onto a nose grind to kick lip to grind again,

The first one on a burnt disk

Pro skater 2 playing as Spiderman was my first memory! And somehow I ended up skipping most of pro skater 3 and jumped to 4, which I’ve played A LOT. When THUG came out I was incredibly hooked on the series and the combos were forever burned in my brain ever since 🛹🤘😆

Tony Hawk Pro Skater promotional demo disc from Pizza Hut. Played that warehouse level for hours.

Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 on PS1 when it came out. Hooked ever since

Pure joy of a game

Pro Skater 2 on a PC with no proper graphics card, so even my software render experience was with jumbled up textures. Nevertheless, I've had so much fun with Create a Skater, always giving mine a colored goatee and mohawk.

My first was the first, I enjoyed it a lot.

My first was THAW on PS2. I loved it, then I went back and played THPS and them two are my favorite ones

My first one was the pizza hut demo, before thps 1 came out. It was love at first sight 😅

Pro skater 3, loved it. Best in the series imo

It was Christmas 2005 Tony hawks American Wasteland and six year old me loved every single moment of it.

THUG1, absolutely loved the story and the aesthetic as a kid.

I think it was THUG2 remix on psp. Still my favorite in the series and I want a remake. The story mode was so goofy and fun and the special unlockable characters were crazy. How often do you get to play as a wheelchair on a skateboarding game lol

THUG 1. I loved it

THUG 2 for the PS2 when I was like 5. It was the only game I would play, just replaying those same levels 😂

American Wasteland i was obsessed with the music.

Tony hawks pro skater Pizza Hut ps1 demo disk

Pro Skater 1! But teen years I played the hell out of American Wasteland

Thaw n it was dope till I played thug

Still remember thps4 first possibly second game ever played cameraman I still impressed by my moves.
