How did you lose your gaming virginity?

[Dommyboy]

PacMan for my dads first computer. Twas so awesome.

 

[siffty]

psx with nfs1 and spyro

 

[Gavran]

Tintin and the Temple of the Sun, for the Gameboy (the original). I was 7 at the time, and got pretty much all next versions of the gameboy up to the Advance SP and a ton of games. My first PC gaming experience was Tomb Raider if I recall correctly, but back then it scared the shit out of me so I never got very far with it (I did watch my dad play though, back before he stopped gaming).

 

[Sampsa]

Prince of Persian 1 or some Commander Keen, most likely 4th. Around 3 or 4 years.

I never had my gaming virginity to start with, the earliest memory I have of playing video games was playing something with a joystick and one orange button on it. The first video game I remember by name wanting to play was Castlevania: Simon's Quest.

 

[dark-amon]

Battletoads over at a friends house. We got so owned that we got to the drivingsegment and we didn't get any longer.

 

[[Insert Name Here]]

Abes Odyssey on the PS1.

 

[twcblaze]

for me, it was frogger at an arcade at the age of 3, my brother had to get me a stool so I could play it, lol, now I'm 20 and I've moved on to more complicated "funstrations"

 

[Aardvark Soup]

Super Mario Bros. Like most people, I immeadiately got killed by the first Goomba.

 

[Brightzide]

I was 3 or 4 years old. The good old 32-bit Sega Megadrive. Kid Chameleon was my first game...and it rocked...not that I was any good at it ^_^

 

[sumanoskae]

Zelda: OOT

 

[Chaossebba]

Since i was three i had a Megadrive with all sorts of games. (That's a Genesis for you Americans)

 

[AlexanderAstartes]

This fella named Rayman, a friend of my uncles.

 

[ldbmikey86]

Shinobi on my dad's Commodore 64

 

[selce]

[Jared]

Lost it to Sonic...about....wayyyyyy too many years ago.

Still remember my first foray into the Green Hill Zone =D

 

[NicolasMarinus]

You are all soooo young! Doom when you were 3? I was 16 at the time of its release!

Mine must have been Sopwith (1984) or Paratrooper (1982) on an IBM PC with a 4 color CGA monitor!

[Yumi_and_Erea]

It was either Secret Agent or Commander Keen 1, both of which for MS DOS.

 

[CLEVERSLEAZOID]

Alex the Kidd in Miracle World was the first console game I played, back on the Master System. I'd been playing Amstrad games before that though.
