What was the first game you remember playing?

[Garret866]

Emm... Doom 95. 4 years old. good childhood

 

[Varanfan9]

Either sonic the hedgehog or Out of this world on my brother's sega genesis. I remember those two early on but don't know which was first to be played by me.

 

[Ubermetalhed]

Tombraider and also hence the subsequent fanboyism I have.

 

[Hyper-space]

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.


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.

 

[DanielBrown]

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.

halo combat evolved

 

[Terrara]

Heroes 2, Diablo, Warcraft (1) and of course, Counter strike. Go go console settings! Should I even mention Pokemon (Green) on Gameboy? Nothing is as good as lovely Charmander <3

 

[AssassinFisH]

Granny's Garden on the BBC Micro in 1984. Hooked ever since.

 

[VoidWanderer]

tT was either Magic Pockets or Defender of the Crown on the Amiga.

 

[DrunkPickle]

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.

 

[Jpyric]

Oregon Trail on the Apple II, and Super Mario on the NES....it was around '86-'87 or so....I feel old now.

 

[Feasting]

Bruce Lee on the Commodore 64

 

[Deamonian]

Age of empires the first. At the time I was like 5-6 years old. Still a huge nostalgia trip when I boot the game up.

 

[Smerf]

crash bandicoot 1 for the ps1. got it for christmas.

 

[DanielDeFig]

Chip (Pre-installed on windows 96), in 1997. I was 7.

If that doesn't count, then my first game would be Age of Empires II: Age of Kings (same year).

My parent's have never gamed themselves, but they support/enourage their kid's love of games (me n my siblings)
