The first computer game you ever played?

[Daffy F]

I think it was Croc, legend of the gobbos on the Playstation. I'm only 16 years old, so that was my first I think

Once mastered you could pull off some incredible maneuvers, such as circle strafing in two axis at once. The trick to avoid motion sickness was to learn the subtle art of changing the direction of "down" at will. See Ender's Game for further explanation.

Believe it or not, there was also a PS1 version that was actually quite playable.

I've got a whole article on it here

Sounds a bit like a helicopter sim sort of thing. Bet that gave you great co-ordination

You just reminded me of Comanche, another great game of that time period, featuring real live VOXELS!

first game i remember playing is a toss up between pajama sam and........ uhh.. god i cant remember the name of it but it was a kid themed point and click about two fish and im pretty sure the main char was yellow.
all i could remember about that one is you could make your sidekick drink various drinks in a bar for some humorous responses. that was way back in early 97, when i was one and a half ish.

around three i moved into strategy games with star wars galactic battlegrounds and eventually red alert. then i got a nintendo 64 at age 5-ish and played sarge's heroes and battle tanks and smash bros and mario kart till like 2002 when i got back into strategy games and got a ps2 (kingdom hearts hands down favorite ps2 game ever, destroy all humans in close second)

HOLY SHIT i just realized i wasted my entire childhood up untill about a year ago playing videogames. though one must admit racking up 12 years of semi-hardcore gaming by age 14 is really something. something sad true but still something

No way is that a waste, just think of all the killstreaks and unlocked perks those years of practice probably help you to get now

well i never really play shooters anymore save mass effect, i really like RPGs and strategy games, OH and fallout too. getting new vegas as soon as i find time to beat broken steel

Probably Starcraft.
