A Commodore 64 game. It was about a caveman on a unicycle evading obstacles, can't remember the title.

The original Crash Bandicoot, with both the game and the Playstation owned by my mother. Our family had a lot of fun with that console and series! I remember many Sundays where me, my siblings, and my mother, would play any of the first two, and CTR!

Kirby's Dream Land, shortly followed by Super Mario Land on my chunky grey GameBoy. An awesome start.

The first game I ever played was Duck Hunt for the Nintendo 64, to this day I'm still questioning why I couldn't shoot that fucking dog.

For me, the first game I ever played was T/FPS tank based shooter Recoil. And I would be amazed if there is another Escapist out here who has played it.

Despite dodgy graphics, a daft story and a sometimes buggy sequences, this game was actually good fun. Enough variety in weapons, enemies, levels and objectives to make the game interesting. Multiplayer was annoying but not terrible.

Still, don't bother getting Recoil. It's developers were bought out years ago, and I doubt there are any copies left (except the one in my home).

But way back when, I liked it.

I can't remember too well to be sure it was the first, but I can recall slotting a gold NES cartridge into the console and grabbing a wooden sword off a crazy old man.

Ah The Legend of Zelda. I was far too young to even fathom completing the game, but it was all groovy.

I can't recall if it was Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, or Super Mario Bros. 3. I only recall that those two were the earliest games that I remember playing.

I don't remember my exact first game, as I had a playstation and PS2 when I was young. But I do know what got me hooked on PC gaming, the Battlefield 1942 Secret Weapons demo. From that came the full game and with it, the addiction.

It was either Sonic and Tails or Castlevania Bloodlines, though I'm fairly certain it was Sonic.

I remember my mom used to play it with me all the time. Then I went to stay with my dad once and he took it and pawned it.

....I friggan' hate Greg so damn much.

My first game was Frogger, at an age I cant remember, after that, it was DOOM3, not consistent, but that's what happened.

The earliest memory I have is of me lying on my side, watching my father play "Titus the Fox" on a '386 (in 1996). That's gotta be it. A 1992 platformer with nice graphics and pretty good physics, I remember playing it countless times (didn't have access to many games since we were the only ones to have a computer on the street at the time), but never getting past the first boss, and I never finished it. I might get dosbox and play it just for nostalgia and to finish it for once.

Spectre Supreme. I'd sit on my moms lap, she'd drive, and I'd take care of shooting. Damn orange things used to scare the crap out of me.

True gaming.

May have been Myst.
