What was the first game you remember playing?

Do Commodore Vic 20 games count? I cannot remember the names though.
Other than that I also had an Atari 2600 & 5200 ... played Space Invaders, Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Frogger, Kaboom!, Pitfall!, & Centipede (to just name the ones I can remember).

The first couple I remember are Wolfenstein 3D and Theme hospital for the Atari Jaguar. Good Times.
It was either marble madness, duck hunt, or super mario bros 3. I don't remember which, but I know that it was one of them.
System: Nintendo 64
Game: Super Mario 64
Year: 1997
Age: 3
My parents bought it for me, however whenever I had trouble with it, they would step in and help me. I remember once, we played the entire game in one night, swapping the controller to eachother and having turns at different levels.

When I think about it my first game was rather Lemmings or Winter Games. I also played them at the house of a friend of my father. But Super Mario Land was the first one I owned. I had to beg my parents to get me a Game Boy. Back in the old days...Seriphina said:wow owning a game boy when it was just brand new!!

Either Donkey Kong Jr. for the Nintendo Game & watch, or another NG&W game where you played some guy on a boat trying to rescue people from a sinking ship. It was like a classic "shits falling from the sky and you got to catch it" title.
It was '83 or '84. My parents had a "computer system" (an Atari-era console with a keyboard, a small hard drive and program writing that had cartridge games) called the TI-99 (that's Texas Instruments, and no, it wasn't a calculator). The first game I ever played for it was Parsec, a side-scrolling space shooter.impeccable said:
I bloody loved that game.
Lotus III: The Ultimate Challenge is the first one I actually remember playing around 1996 or 1997. We never had any gaming consoles so it was on our family computer.
Although, I've been told that I played some games on a Commodore 64 even before that, but I have zero recollection of that.

Most probably Super Mario Bros. at a friends house when I was around five years old.
My first owned game was a demo disc for my Playstation(thank you, mom!) that I got when I was seven or so. I didn't know what hell a demo was back then though, so I was a bit confused as to why the games were so damn short.

It's hard to say, since I've been playing games since birth. I'm not sure if I remember correctly, but "Kao the Kangaroo Round 2" would be a good guess- I was, around 4 at that time, maybe? So, 1998? Oh, how I miss those days. Before Xbox 360 and PS3; a time when PC gaming was on top.
