that's a tough question. My memories of those times are really sketchy. The first game I remember renting for myself was Mega Man, but that wasn't the first game I ever played. I'm sure Mario bros or Duck Hunt was before then... So probably Super Mario Bros.
Too late. I have no idea what my first game was. If I had to take a guess, it was Sonic the Hedgehog, but I can't guarantee that. We did have a NES that broke when I was super super little, and there is a chance I tried to play that.
I honestly cant remember if I got a Gameboy Colour or a Playstation first =S If it was the Gameboy then a Wario game. If it was the Playstation then either Crash Bandicoot or Spyro the Dragon X)
i was like five, it was on Atari or Amiga methinks it was called something along the lines of Crazy Football or Mad Rugby...
the idea was match of American Football. You control one player, try to get the ball and such. twist is, melee weapons everywhere on stadium. fuckin awesome.
It was probably Super Mario Bros. or some Flintstones game for the NES(or SNES, it wasn't my console, so I don't know the difference). If not them it was Tetris or some silly mini-game.
Yeeeeeessssssss...this was the first game I owned and really fell in love with. But the first game I ever remember playing, even if I had no idea what was going on?
The original Phantasy Star. I didn't even know the name until I played it on the GBA again many many years later and recognized the main character.
I have news for you OP, some of us clearly DID forget.
The earliest games I remember playing were actually demos that came free with things, mostly because we were too poor to afford consoles when I was growing up.
My earliest memories were of Jazz Jackrabbit, Rollercoaster Tycoon and a Lion King game that I'm pretty certain came free in a cereal box! They were all demos so I only got the first few levels for free but DAMN, did I ever play the SHIT out of those few levels!
The Lion King game was a limited use sort of disc so it stopped working after a while... I was devastated! Ahh such memories.
Adventure, a.k.a. Colossal Cave Adventure, on my Black Apple ][ (my parents were both in the educational field so I was able to get one of the only-sold-to-school Bell & Howell models) back in 1979.
Do I wish it were something different? Hell no! It was a great brain-tester, required a lot of imagination, and I still remember cracking up at the line "Congratulations, you have just vanquished a dragon with your bare hands! (Unbelievable, isn't it?)"
