What was the first game you remember playing?

[YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH]

MATH BLASTER 2000 IS THE BEST GAME EVER CREATED. CHALLENGE ME.


Seriously though, when I was like 7 there was nothing more epic than the math caves and dodging the perilous multiplication droplets.

I need to find that disc!

 

[teqrevisited]

Sonic the Hedgehog. I'd have been 3 or 4, so around 1993. From that moment until this very day I have never stopped playing games.

I still remember the day I got my own PS1, too. Dad decided that he'd buy me my own one so that I wouldn't spend so much time on his. Not that that was a bad thing. Most of the games we'd play were single player so one would control what was happening and the other would discuss how to progress. Things like Tomb Raider, C&C and Doom. And I don't think I ever beat him on Worms.

Might and Magic VI.

I KNOW.

I have memories of Link's Awakening and this other PC game that I can't remember the name of from around the same time, but I'm pretty sure Might and Magic came first. I was like three or four when I would play that with my dad.

 

[LobsterFeng]

Probably Putt-Putt or something similar.

 

[Radeonx]

Ah, now I feel old when I hear all the N64 answers.
Pong, on the home Pong console.

fredy fish when I was 3 it was the year 2000 and I was too bored to go to sleep so I snuck into my daycares computer room and put in the disc and started it up somehow but I was helped by the daycarers daughter

 

[The Hero Killer]

Eternal Champions on Sega Genesis. It came with the Sega and was my first system and game. It was probably either Christmas of 1991 or 1992.

I found this thread and couldn't resist it, but the first game i played and owned was either Half-life on PC or Spiderman on PS1 (arguably the best game ever) both the same year (2000) they were all polygons and "crappy" graphics (personally i think the graphics are amazing), but i wouldn't have stood for anything else, and i love them both to this day, and still own both!

 

[Letitha]

Spyro the Dragon on PS1 would've been my first I believe... Ooh, but then again perhaps it was Rayman? Hmmm... I'm leaning towards Rayman actually; my mum was quite into it at the time

 

[Aeonknight]

Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt combo for NES

 

[ScarecrowAlone]

Dragon Warrior for Super Nintendo

 

[Dragonpit]

Pokemon Blue for Game Boy Color. 1998, I believe. I was always sharing that game with my siblings because we all wanted to play it... Bulbasaur was my first. *sigh*

 

[thirion1850]

...Tetris. But if you want game games, Heroes 3 of Might and Magic, Blade of Armageddon.

 

[I.N.producer]

Pokemon Blue on the GameBoy. So many hours of being antisocial at such a young age.

 

[thecoreyhlltt]

the first game ever... PONG

 

[trooper6]

First game in an arcade I can remember playing would be a pinball machine in a movie theatre when I was two years old in 1974. In term of video games...it would have been the arcade games Space Invaders, Frogger, Donkey Kong and Pac-Man. All around 1980-2. Pong or Asteroids on an Atari in a electronics store next to my house...probably around 1981. My family couldn't afford an Atari..because they were really expensive. Ended up getting a Colecovision around 1982-3, because they were cheap, and then there was lots of gaming it my house: Looping, Donkey Kong, Donkey Kong Jr.

Good Times!

 

[ScrubberDucky]

Test Drive, 1999, PSX. Good times. It might actually have been the first, too, not just the first I remember playing.
