The first game you played

[Hey Joe]

For me, it was some sort of Jurrasic Park movie-tie in. The game came on a floppy-disk and ran on Windows 3.1

Round a friends house I played Jet Set Willy. I was mezmerised!
First games I owned and played was Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles for my NES, quickly followed by Super Mario Brothers when I realised Turtles was too hard

Lunar Lander on a VAX via dumb terminal, during an open house at Dad's plant. Years later, one of my homework assignments in Comp. Sci. was to write Lunar Lander for the Commodore PET.

Either that or coin-op Space Invaders when it first arrived, between the doors at the local K-Mart.

[CosmicStorms]

Mortal Kombat 3 for the Ps1 when I was 7. Good times.

 

[ar4yyyy]

Monkey island 2. Or such...

 

[A Username Not In Use]

I think it was the orginal Prince of Persia on the PC, but I've been gaming for over 20 years so I could be very wrong.

 

[Nickson]

Are we talking legitimate games here or those pseudo-interactive things? Because if its the later, "Putt-Putt Saves the Zoo" certainly takes the top of the list.

I feel so ashamed.

My first real game was Descent. No shame with that one, only a regret that its too old for modern computers.

Doom 2 -still love my first even though the old gal's got some wrinikles these days

 

[Slayer0019]

I am proud to say that my cousin bestowed Starcraft upon me at age 4. I still owe him.

 

[Sib]

Maybe Age of Empires, the first one

 

[MichaelH]

Wow I feel old. Some sort of Atari 2600 game whose name has been lost to the mists of time. It had...spaceships?

 

[Salaminic]

Well... For me, MGS 1 for the PS1. Awesome game. My favorite.

 

[aRealGuitarHero707]

first game i ever played was Toejam and Earl for the SeGa Genesis

i still love the funky music in the game

 

[fix-the-spade]

First game was Micro Machines on the Mega drive, on my uncle's ginormous wide screen tv. Everything from there on has been downhill.

 

[Tanthalos]

Duck Hunt.

Stupid dog...

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

Tempest! Still an awesome game to this day.

 

[BuckminsterF]

I think it was Spawn on the SNES

 

[Southy]

Wonderboy III: The Dragon's Trap

Great Game

 

[hobob]

i think it was Alex Kidd in High-Tech World on the sega master system, brilliant game

 

[Mother Yeti]

This weird little maze game on the Macintosh Classic. It would've been about 1988. You had to run through this maze (you were a horse) and collect keys to unlock doors.

First handheld was Tetris on my father's first-gen Gameboy.

First console was most likely Super Mario Brothers on the NES.
