Dude, I had the Genesis version of that game. Dam if that wasnt quality edutainment!conqueror Kenny said:
The first game you played
- Thread starter Hey Joe
- Start date
Mario on SNES, I can hardly remember it though, don't know if it was mario bros 1 2 or 3 or whatever, I just had some cartridge that had like, 3 or 4 games on it and more than half were mario games, and I played each of them to death.
Thinking about it, I can't recall if it was Pac-Man or some other Spectrum game or if it was Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis. I'm going to go on a limb and say the later.
Still remember it very well. Was about 4 years old when I got it along with the console. Spent hours trying to beat the first boss, seeing my dad do it for me until late at night I finally did it and ran to mother and father sleeping, shouting triumphantly at them as they woke up abruptly. They yelled at me and told me to go to bed.
Oh how my youth was misunderstood.

It was probably Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt, which I played religiously, but I don't remember it as well as my second: Police Quest. I learned console and PC gaming simultaneously, but nothing stuck with me quite like learning to type furiously to accomplish tedious tasks at the age of four.
I can still type "open door" by reflex.

Is that the lightgun shooter for NES? That would be the one that took my gaming virginity.chrisjames said:

First game i ever played, Sonic for the mega drive.
Didn't really play it as such, just held down the forward button and watched the pretty colours rushing across the screen.
First game i really played,
Tekken 2
FOOOOOKING MINT, who'd have thought you could beat the hell out of someone with a tiny dinosaur thing wearing boxing gloves...
Then Tekken 3 came out, and you could actually keep smashing your opponent after you'd beaten them.
I had a pretty fulfilling childhood hehe.

3d Monster Maze on the ZX81, back in 1982. Although I did watch Galaxians, Defender and Moon Cresta at the local swimming pool.

For me it was a fisher price (i know) game on my dad's windows 98 when i was about four.
"The magical Fisher-Price kingdom has been besieged by King Smudge and his Naughty Knights! Can the mighty McDuff round up six Good Knights from the village, free King McBeard from his dungeon, and restore happiness to this enchanted land? With thy help, he surely can!"
I transcribed that from the back of the case, i don't memorise the back of games' cases

I think it was Home Alone or something like that.. it was really frustrating when you're 6, and you have no idea what's going on
