First game ever played?

[jezz8me]

Umm probably Super Mario on Gameboy or Earthworm Jim. Or some bad educational game with horible 3 colour and black graphics.

 

[SnowCold]

Can remember if It was SMB1 for GBC or Pokemon silver for GBC

 

[GrimRox]

Sonic 1 on the Sega Mega Drive.

 

[WolfLordAndy]

That I actually remember, Trog on the NES at my mates house.

The first game I ever owned? The Super Scope game for the SNES that I got one very merry xmas. (Along with the first mario kart!!)

 

[Dante_Alucard]

mario

 

[Ronwue]

Duck Hunt

 

[bioVOLTAGE]

Can't quite remember, but I'm sure it was Super Mario Bros. for the NES.

That was the same for me. I know I played it, and a lot of others later, but the one that I really remember was Half Life. Thats a long time in between though, but none of them really stand out.

first mario game on the first gameboy

 

[Cornstar]

Way of the Exploding Fist on the old rubber keyboard Speccy.

Would have been about 1985 when I was 9 or 10. Yeah, I'm that old.

I'm telling you that game has a near perfect fight engine, still plays brilliantly to this day.

Yes! Knew this game was in here somewhere. I played it on the VIC-20 though. 1984-ish I think (was 9 as well, he).

 

[Fridr]

Commander Keen 1 for MS DOS

 

[Brutulf]

Some candidates, in roughly decreasing order of probability:

-A labyrinth/maze-game on a pre-PC computer, the kind with the huge old-school floppydisks. The floppy had another game on it too, but I don't remember what it was. Dunno what the name was, don't think I could read at the time.

-Snake or the banana-throwing Gorillas that came with Visual Basic for DOS.

-A learning game called Alphabet Blocks

-Snoopys Game Club

-Zoo Keeper


Pretty sure anything below was *not* the first, but probably among the first ten:

-Sonic the Hedgehog, Sega Mega Drive

-Microsoft Flight Simulator

-Dune 2: Battle for Arrakis

 

[Magic Murder Bag]

I think it might have been either Bubble Bobble or a Dizzy game for the Commodore 64 and when slightly older Sonic 1 and 2 for the Megadrive. Hours and hours of Sonic. I think my mum regrets letting me have that console...

 

[GunnerGraye]

Donkey Kong 64.

 

[brenflood]

Wolfstein 3d on the mac. The first Console game I ever played that I owned was Raiden for Atari Jaguar.

 

[Vivvav]

The original Crash Bandicoot.
I miss the days when that series was good.

 

[chuckman1]

Crash Bandicoot when I was 3.

Actually now I remember playing some game on a floppy disk where I was an orange skinned dude but I can't remember anything else about it. I was about 2.

 

[Oirish_Martin]

"Commander Keen, Marooned on Mars" also.

I was 4, and I saw my mum playing it. I had no idea computers could be so entertaining. Given the amount of time I've spent playing games since then, I'm betting my mother's kicking herself now

 

[Shotaro]

Super Mario Bros on the NES - was 5 and spent all night beating it

Then went on to try duck hunt.... god that game is hard.

 

[Aschenkatza]

Some Micky the Mouse game on that one console that required those old cartridges. Remember the game screwing up on me and my brother and having to blow in the bottoms to make them work, Good times...

 

[Minjoltr]

Sonic the Hedgehog on the Mega Drive or Jazz Jackrabbit on my dad's laptop. I forget which came first but I do remember when we first got the Mega Drive and I came home from school one day when I was 5 or 6 to find my dad playing through Marble Zone.
