Ahhh... When my father returned from a business trip with a Game Boy and Tetris. At the time, this "video game" thing seemed to be gaining some momentum.

You people make me feel so old. mine was the Commander Keen trilogy. At the time, it was the hot new thing. *sigh*

What?? That makes you feel old?
My first game was either "BC's Quest for Tires II: Grog's Revenge" (wow, never actually knew the correct title, me and my family always called it Grog) for the Commodore 64 or some other game for the C64 where you jump over turtles. Back in 1992 and 1993. I was born in 1990
So I was already a gamer when I was just 2 years old.
Though I barely remember the games. The first game I really remember playing was Duck Hunt and Super Mario Bros for the NES. I was around 4 or 5 then.

 

[Lord Honk]

Super Mario for the NES.

^this. and i love it dearly <3

 

[runtheplacered]

Mine was on Commodore 64, at the age of 2. It was some game where you play as a worm that rides around inside of an apple, that for some reason I remember being like a car. I have no idea what the game was called, and I imagine it was something educational. But ya.. there ya go.

Gi Joe for C64 was probably the second.

 

[CymTyr]

The first game I ever owned was The Legend of Zelda. I can't remember the first game I ever played, though I want to say Pac-man.

 

[PurpleLeafRave]

Pokemon yellow! F**k yeah!

I was born in 1980, and was also 2 years old when I first started playing games on the C64. Which, now that I know the C64 came out in 1982, my Dad apparently jumped right on the chance to get one.

Also, the C64 was finally discontinued in 1994. Just a neat piece of trivia.

zelda link to the past. finished it 7 years later.

It took me ages to figure out

Spoiler

that you had to slash the curtain to get to the magician boss, i came back to it a few years after getting it and figured it out...then got stuck again on the turtle boss lol!

 

[Yudas]

IIRC it was Warcraft II. That really was a nice introduction to gaming.
