Pokemon Yellow is the first I remember, or possibly Space Invaders, I can't remember which came first
What was the first game you remember playing?
- Thread starter impeccable
- Start date
I was going to say Commander Keen, but then I remembered an text based learning program that my father wrote for me in about 1983-84. It came on a floppy disc that daddy brought home from work. I was allowed to play it on Daddy's computer. He worked for AT&T. Now that I think about it, it was probably pretty trusting to let a 3 year old play on a computer. Then again, computers back in the day were tough as tanks.
Mine is pong. Not sure what we were using to play it on but all it played was pong games. We had Tennis, Football or Squash but they were all Pong. The controls were just joysticks there weren't even any buttons on them. As for age I must have been about 3/4 at the time. My parents would play with me or I'd play myself depending on what they were doing.
Exactly the same with me.Tiger Sora said:
The only other games I played on it were Mario Kart and Street Fighter II. Then I got a PS1 with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater and Crash Bandicoot 2... That kickstarted my gaming addiction.
Final Fantasy. I was never any good at it. Mainly because it would scare the bejesus out of me when it would go to a random battle. Remember it had that really violent shatter to black transition? Scary stuff when you're four. That and the idea of being turned to stone by cockatrices really scared me too. I distinctly remember the pirates and the pirate ship though.
pokemon red for the gameboy color.
i thought i was hot shit when i finally got past that damn snorlax.

The first game I can remember playing was good old Super Smash Bros Melee. But admittedly, it could have just as easily been Pikmin.
I still remember going down to blockbuster with my dad, renting a Gamecube and a few games for a week.
Ah, memories.
It should be mentioned that I may have played one of the earlier Pokemon games on the Gameboy Colour or GBA before that. Can't quite remember.
It also probably shouldn't be mentioned that to this day, around ten years later, I still haven't gotten around to finishing Pikmin. Still a great game, though.

Friend had some console before Nintendo (presumably Atari). Game had a moving wall in the middle of 2 pixels and you had to move your pixel through it, like some sort of primitive Frogger.
Goledeye at my Aunt liannies house i think with her dugter playing goldeneye on the N64 started on the first snow mission.
Punch Out! in the basement of my old house. As a kid my favorite thing was playing Burger Time with my Dad or Super Mario with my sister and cousins. *sigh* Those were the days.
Never experienced the joys of Atari I'm afraid, but when I got my PS1, it was Rayman, Crash Bandicoot Warped and Mission Impossible that I got first, followed by a football game, before Fifa had a gaming franchise though, so I have no idea of it's name.
