What was the first game you remember playing?

[CardinalPiggles]

Lego.

Or were you thinking about video games? In that case I'd say Duck Hunt on one of those crappy plug and play things.

 

[Jack and Calumon]

Konami GB Collection Volume 1.

Came with Game Boy Castlevania and 3 other games I can't remember. Gradius maybe?

That or Dig Dug. Had an arcade collection on PC and Dig Dug was the best. I was pretty good.

Calumon: Not any more.

Mine would be Age of Mythology, i think my dad got it one day thinking that a strategic game would be good for me and my brothers to get a bit smarter (this was around the time me and most of my friends were playing stuff like pokemon, so i think my dad saw that and decided to give me more of a meaty challenge)
good thing is I enjoyed it, but my dad was always doing stuff like this, now that i look back on it i think he might have been conditioning me; roller coaster tycoon to deal with money, AoM to manage resources and execute strategies etc.
but then again i think i might be over analysing it a bit

First computer I remember playing was a C64. I cant name 1 game because we had a few. But the ones i remember playing were Spy Hunter, Super Hang on, Pole Position, River Raid, Mission Impossible, California Games, World Class leader Board, there was a few other in there.

World Class leader board will have to the most memorable because my mate and I still repeat some of the speech today like "Cant be too happy about that one".

I have some vague memories of playing a BBC Acorn at school and the games were Raft away river, Dragon teeth(??), Gradma's Garden (??). Those last could of been the same game or i made them up, dont really know.. lol.. fun times

 

[lRookiel]

I remember playing both Age of empires and Baldurs gate at age 6.

 

[Eclipse Dragon]

Final Fantasy 6 (3)

Either that or Sonic the hedgehog, or Toejam and Earl

 

[Innegativeion]

Mario 64. Christmas. Age four.

Wide eyes and blown little minds were involved.

Awww... good times.

 

[Old Father Eternity]

Do not quite remember whether it was The first Dune game or one of the first, but it was on a old Sega console. Sucked me into strategy games and science fiction literature. Good old days.

first game i remember playing? gotta be pajama sam. my parents recognized i had a love of the computer when i started messing with theirs.... at 18 months, so they went and got me games of the more educational variety.

after that, goldeneye for the n64. to this day the only multiplayer game my dad has played. and also the only game he has beaten me at. to be fair, i was like.... 4

and after THAT, is where my gaming really took off. it is when i began my path to join the pc master race. red alert 2. my god, the memories! (funny thing, i still havent beaten it. get stuck on the last mission for the allies, and as for the soviets... well i might have beaten it, i honestly dont remember. i think i did. it might've been yuri's revenge that i was playing)

You young whipper-snappers with your advanced so-called NES's.

 

[Bloodtrozorx]

Blades of Steel on the NES. Good lord those are good memories. Oh and Dick Tracy on the NES, Which I just bought on amazon thanks to this thread. Thanks for the memory trip.

 

[DanteLives]

Sonic The Hedgehog is the first that rises to the top of my head.

 

[Nuclear_Suspect]

Probably E.T for the Atari, although I also had some cowboy game.

 

[themerc32]

Warcraft was the first game I can remember playing, still got it installed and play it.

 

[Reyold]

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Story for the Gameboy Advance. That game is fantastic.

Definitely getting it again on the Virtual Console.

captcha: cheese steak. I like cheese, and I LOVE steak, but together... ew.
