The First Game You Ever Played

[Bouncing Ferret FIlm]

i'm about to beat all yall, Superman for the Atari.. course I just kept flying "up", but i do remember playing that game... no wait. there was something before that. "Technically" it was a video game/board game. There were electronics inside it, much like OPERATION. on the top of the box, it showed a guy and a girl playing Ping Pong. Each had multiple pics of their hands in different stages of swinging the paddle. There was a series of lights, each light showing the progression of the ping pong ball, that would light up as the ping pong ball would "move" down to the other player. If you hit the button at the right time, the lit up "paddle" would connect with the lit up "ping pong ball" and it would go back the other direction. and of course Pong.

I remember we had an Atari, but I don't remember actually playing it--I think it was broken. So the first game was Super Mario Bros. for the NES. And Duckhunt on the same cartridge. Stupid dog...

Marathon by Bungie on the PC.

I was three, and I sat on my dad's lap and pressed the fire button while he moved us around

Shit was so cash.

my 5th birthday, my parents bought me a N64 and my brother bought me Zelda: The Ocarina of Time. I was pretty spoiled for my first game.
Funny though I remember watching my brother play it more than I remember playing it, I probably wouldn't have been able to figure out half the puzzles anyways at 5 years old.

Mine, as far as I can remember, was actually the original Pokemon: Red Version.
I think that was it... how nostalgic.

Brian the Lion on the Amiga in 1994. Back when I was four!

Pong. I think. It was a long time ago, and my 'old person' memory is a little hazy.

The first game I ever played was Super Mario World (I think that's what it was) for the original game boy. Black and white graphics FTW!
