Tekken 1 for the PS1.

My GAWD do they take 5 years to get up from being floored.

 

[Raika]

Mine was Super Mario Bros. 2/Super Mario Bros. USA for the NES.

Sonic the Hedgehog on the glorious Sega Genesis.

 

[Shuguard]

Ape Escape For The Win!!!
best game as a kid.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

Kirby Super Star, the second greatest videogame in the history of videogames!

 

[Spitfire]

I'm not sure if it's the very first, but one of the first games that I've played, and that I actually remember the title of, was the original Prince of Persia.

 

[ssgt splatter]

I think mine was Super Mario Bros. on the NES too, but my first game that I loved to play was 007: Goldeneye.

 

[Whoatemysupper]

First PC game was AoE and first console was 007 Goldeneye. I was really young and each game was actually owned by two different step-brothers (opposite sides of the divorce). You could say that they got me into gaming and if I wanted to be dramatic you could say they helped me deal with the divorce, but in reality my parents' divorce was really painless (I was three).

 

[Allen Shatzer]

First game i remember seeing is Killer Instinct. but first game i played was Aladdin on the SNES

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

Earliest I can remember is playing Super Mario Land on the Gameboy.
Felt like hours just to get through one of the levels. Now I can beat the game within 30 minutes. God I feel stupid...

 

[arbitterm]

A cocktail of Doom, Quake, Heretic, and Duke Nukem 3D. Pretty sure I played Doom first though, I was about 7.

 

[Richardplex]

Pokémon red was my first handheld game, and Rat Attack! for the PS1 was my first console game. I started gaming between 5 and 8 I believe.

 

[Dango]

I forget.

But I do remember playing Star Fox 64 at age 2 or 3.

 

[Robert Ewing]

Bugs bunny lost in time for the PSX. Goooood times.

 

[Sutter Cane]

Chip's Challenge was my first video game

 

[DigitalAtlas]

Either the original Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, or Bomberman II

 

[sharinganblossom25]

Super Smash Bros on Nintendo 64. God, I loved that game.

 

[Professor Putricide]

The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past.

I was like, 6 and had nooooooo idea what I was doing, but by golly, it was fun to smack chickens around.

...

Then they swarmed.

 

[The Funslinger]

Sonic the Hedgehog for SEGA Mega Drive



And so it began.

Same here! After that, it was Crash Bandicoot on PS1.

 

[Belaam]

Hmm...

No idea which Atari 2600 game I got first. Maybe Adventure?

But I'm sure I played stuff in pizza place arcades first. So, um...

Asteroids? Pac-man? maybe Frogger?

One of those three, with my best guess being Pac-Man.
