Never forget your first...

[Norrdicus]

Something on Sega Mega Drive. I have no memory which game exactly

 

[bivis87]

Sonic the Hedgehog on Master System II, (remember the dust cover!?) that or the built in Alex Kidd In Miracle World, classics the both of them

Pokemon Red.

Bulbasaur for Life! Fuck yeah!

 

[teebeeohh]

At the time I was so young that I had absolutely no idea how to play the game. My mum would just prop me up in front of the game and let me think I was achieving something!

Super Mario World and Metroid prime, at the age of 3 or 4. I was shit, but I could watch my siblings play for hours.

 

[Shavon513]

Ecco for the Sega Genesis.

 

[A_Parked_Car]

I'm thinking it was either Super Mario Bros. or Top Gun on the NES.

 

[redisforever]

It was made by Westwood probably. Either the C&C or C&C Red Alert demo, or the Lion King game. Started with PC early, I did.

I remember digging up my brother's old NES and having a blast with Defender II. The first game that was mine that I played would have been either Gran Turismo 2 or Test Drive Off-Road 3 (I got them on the same Christmas, along with my PSone)

My parents thought I'd like racing games. I still don't.

 

[Ectoplasmicz]

The first Crash Bandicoot on PS1 if memory serves me correctly. It may not be the first, but I reckon it's the one that got me into gaming in the first place.

 

[Risingblade]

What is this trap you speak of?

 

[Lugbzurg]

It was probably Super Mario Bros. 1 or 2. I don't remember which.

Playing Super Mario Bros. 2 as your first videogame sounds like a nightmare! ...Unless it's the US version.

Anyway, my first game was Mario Kart 64. I remember it well. My cousin, for no reason I can understand, was playing it in 2-Player mode on Kalimari Desert. He was Mario (to me, his name was "Marlo"), and Luigi was just sitting there. So, I looked at what he was doing, picked up the second controller and started playing. I loved it. Still don't remember who won, though. Ok, maybe, I don't remember it that well. Still, I wonder if he remembers why he set it in 2-Player mode when there wasn't anyone playing the game with him.

I do think I might've been sitting there, watching someone play Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on an original Genesis, before this point, but, I didn't get to play it. Then, they threw it away, because it was making "weird noises".

No idea what the first videogame I ever played in my own home was. Could've been Frogger (1997. Maybe, Roller Coaster Tycoon.
I'm really not sure.

Uh some mario game where they're babies n stuff. I probably more before but that's the earliest I can remember.

I'm guessing this is either Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island or Mario & Luigi 2: Partners in Time.

 

[Smeatza]

Sonic 2 on what we called the Megadrive.

 

[Jack_in_theGreen]

I think it was Dragonstomper, for the Atari 2600... Suposedly the "first" RPG videogame, if you think of a "broad" definition of videogame RPGs...

Super Mario Bros Deluxe on the Gameboy Color was my first game ever; it brought shame to my father who was a Genesis Gamer.

Although he made sure my first console game though was Sonic Adventure on Dreamcast.

 

[Desworks]

An ageing Space Invaders arcade cabinet at the pub my Dad worked in, back in old 1989. Good times. By the time we moved away from there 3 years later I owned the high scores on that thing.

 

[fireaura08]

Either Perfect Dark or Ocarina of Time.

 

[IrateDonnie]

Frogger on a Coleco mini arcade. Defender and 1942 for Atari are also possibilites. As is Chucky Egg on BBC.

Woah, talk about a blast from the past. I remember a buddy of mine had Donkey-Kong on a little system like that. Come to think of it Frogger might have been one of the first video games I played. The first at home console game I played was Ghost & Goblins for the NES.
