The first game you played

[AdamBomb]

Super Mario Brothers for the NES. Right after it came out. Of course, when it came out I was one, but lucky me I had an older brother who shoved me into the gaming world. I haven't looked back since.

 

[Mister Gale]

Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I played it around a friends house, hotseat style. The first game i played and liked enough to continue playing: Halo: CE (PC) Muiltplayer baby!

 

[drummond13]

Elevator Action in a pizza parlor. I was hooked from then on.

 

[Quaidis]

Gods damn some of you make me feel old. At least a few people played games that were pre-nintendo.

My first was Moon Rover. A PC game, though the kind of PC game that came on a 5" floppy. A decent 2D game with all of 2 controls; shoot and jump.

Moon Rover was a damned awesome game.

Edit - I knew what game you were talking about, but the title threw me off at first. Atari game, called Moon Patrol, right? It could have had more than one name.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_Patrol

Goldeneye on the N64, my neighbors had it. That was a great summer

 

[neddy]

Dragon's Lair on the Atari 7200.

Oh yes, I went there.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

Aztec challenge...what?

 

[DGKT93]

wow a south park fan!

 

[Ty1er117]

I'm not totally positive because I think it was when I was about four, but probably Contra for the super nintendo, though it never interested me much, my first favorite game was probably... Super Mario World (thank god it was a good game!)

 

[Kikyoo]

Space Invaders. A real Classic.

 

[ExileNZ]

Either Jump Man for C64 or Pong on the old arcade machine at the airport (that machine lasted as long as the airport, too - didn't go until they did major renovations in the late '90s).

Edit: Digdug FTW!

 

[Spinwhiz]

I'm going to have to go with Frogger for the Atari. Man, that was 24 years ago. *tear*

 

[ZeroExclamation]

the original super mario! on the original game boy in all it's monolithic awesomeness.

 

[MorganL4]

one of the reader rabbit games ( he was in a circus) I would pop balloons and click notes on a organ so as to by carneval toys ( I could never get enough to buy all the toys though)

 

[Ursus Astrorum]

Stonekeep, when I was 4. It was really scary back then, especially the tentacle doohickey. Now, not so much.

What's Stonekeep? It was an old DOS RPG for windows, back when everything was geek humor and inside jokes. AKA, before games went mainstream.

 

[outbreak21093]

mine was doom or doom 2 on the mac (what can i say... my father was into macs) ^w^ not sure which... so similar XD;

 

[Steveh11]

I remember playing Pong on the display set-up at Montgomery Wards. Does Mattel Electronic football count?

 

[flyingspoon]

my first game i played was abe's oddesesy followed shortly by final fantasy 7 the game that helped me learn to read

 

[TheKnifeJuggler]

Mario bros./Duck hunt/Mario Bros 3/Doctor Mario...

I've been a Nintendo fan ever sense...

 

[whistleduck]

When I was really young, we used to have those floppy disks that didn't have the plastic covers, it had 4 dos games on it that were like pong but I can't for the life of me remember what they were called! I do remember the PC itsself was black!

Other than that, the first game I played properly was probably Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis...what a classic I loved it! Just found another copy & started again woohoo!
