First game I've ever played wasn't really a "game" per say, it was some edutanment game for Windows 95.
First ACTUAL game was like Battle Tanx or something for the N64. Ahh, 3DO...

My first was a game called "Captain Comic." It was a platforming game where you take on the role of Captain Comic, a guy in a space helmet and a set of overalls. You have to recover a bunch of treasures from all over the game world. Along the way you collect various tools to help--cans of 'Blastola Cola' which let you spit fireballs at enemies, a corkscrew that makes your fireballs travel in a oscillating pattern that can hit enemies crawling on the ground, a wand to teleport through hostile areas, etc. It's a sidescroller, and you move through various different boards, but it's actually pretty open. You don't have to do the levels in any particular order, and they all flow into each other. Some of the places you can go to right near the starting point are really, really hard unless you explore elsewhere, get some tools, and come back later. It was a pretty cool game--I'll have to see if I can find a version of it for my computer today!
The first game that I really, really got into, though, was either the original Sid Meier's Pirates or Sierra's Quest for Glory I: So You Want to be a Hero (back then, it was known as Hero's Quest). I still love those games!

That first one almost sounds like an early set-up for modern RPG'sHelmutye said:
Substitute Blastola for Nuka, and the corkscrew thing for picking up new weapons, needing to level up before certain parts ... basic format hasnt really changed Well, maybe it has, but Im feeling nostalgic I may have to look Captain Comic up
Bubble Bobble was great! I think I had that on the Amiga. Wasnt there a sequel, something about rainbows?Nifarious said:
I think it was Pokemon Yellow or Super Mario Land. I miss my old Gameboy ;_;
EDIT: Oh wait, computers? Well then it would be either Doom 1 or Red Alert 1.

Yep. Made by Infocom. I was a huge Infocom fan back in the day. I played almost all of their games, and beat most of them. They don't have the same effect in this day and age, though (if you get stuck, you look up the answer on the internet, which ultimately makes them much less satisfying games).Ahh another C64 owner
No lie, it took me three years to figure out how to get that jeweled egg open. The memory of that victory (when it finally happened) remains one of the most vivid in all my game playing history.
