First game you can remember playing

[distortedreality]

International Karate + on an Amiga 500.

 

[StormShaun]

what was that game on the playstation with the green dinosaur? i remember is was called [blank] legend of the gobos.... i think

Frogo...I think...or croco?

Pokemon Yellow, such a good soundtrack.

 

[legion431]

Metroid Fusion. Oh how I loved that game.

 

[Bobbity]

Jak and Daxter, or possibly Gran Turismo 3. No, scratch that, Monsters inc. Actually, scratch that again. It was a crappy Tonka Truck game running on Windows 98.

 

[asam92]

It was PROBABLY Super Mario Collection on the SNES ie 1,2,3 and Lost Worlds. 2 was the easiest and 3 the hardest. But 3 was my fav until I picked up Super Mario World 2, still my all time fav Side scrolling Mario.
However the earliest CLEAR memory was of Donkey Kong Country, which I will now and again actually do a speed run to beat it in an hour, sometimes I do sometimes I don't.

 

[tokae]

Street Fighter II

 

[8-Bit Grin]

Toe Jam and Earl.

 

[Kiltguy]

Ludo(?)

I kid, it was really this...

PONG!

 

[striderdaze]

Sonic on the Sega Genesis...when it was still good. Those were the days...

 

[tock333]

Man, reading through this list I too feel kinda old...

The only ones I can really put names to are the arcade originals like Space Invaders, Asteroids, Command Control... And my favorites a few years later on were Millipede and Star Wars... "Use the Force Luke!"

Consoles would be Atari Defenders.

PC would be Prince of Persia and SpeedBall.

 

[Prof. Monkeypox]

Pokemon Red.

And it has shaped me to this day.

 

[LordDarkPhantom]

Sonic the Hedgehog on the Sega Megadrive II

 

[Adamc-mh]

Rugrats: Search for Reptar for PS1. That game was freaking awesome.

Aww man I remember that games it actually may of been my first game, pretty sure I swaped it for lego racers though

 

[TheTim]

It was either Mk2 for Sega or super smash bros

 

[Sanglyon]

1985 FTW!

If I sound pissy or condescending, it's because I worked myself into a frenzy before I saw the join date. Hehee....Sorry.

 

[Simon Pettersson]

Pong actually.

 

[Amondren]

Super Mario bros deluxe for the Gameboy Color oh those were the days...

 

[Dora]

Joust for the Atari. Joust is still one of my favourite games, and I played it a ton until the cord that connected the Atari to my TV failed. Just such simple, fun gameplay. I think I was probably five at the time. It was my young Uncle's idea of bonding with me whenever he babysat me. (He also taught me to read.)

 

[cptawesome]

the first game I ever played was Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES, and I think it may have been Super Mario Bros. 3.

good times, good times
