Your First Game

[yoz13]

I'm not sure but its either croc for the playstation 1 or pokemon blue for the gameboy colour

 

[Crispee]

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 on my Dad's GameGear, I especially remember the second zone where you hand-glided in parts of the level, how I got that far when I must've been about five or something I don't know.

 

[Cpt_Oblivious]

It was either: The Secret of Monkey Island, Prince of Persia [http://www.flash-games.net/online/1463/prince-of-persia.html] or Maths Blaster. And I still have them all sitting around somewhere.

My first proper gaming memories, however, are from playing Mafia with my Dad when I was about 10.

 

[DCMan]

I do not recall the first game I ever played, but the first game I ever bought was Captain SkyHawk for the NES. It was the most exciting feeling ever, purchasing my first game.

 

[FunKing]

The original Castle Wolfenstein on my brand new Tandy 1000 IBM-Compatible PC. I remember escaping with the plans only once, then dismayed to see that i only won a chance to play the game again at the Corporal Rank.

I was all about uses grenades to take out the SS. Only way to make sure.

I have many fond memories of my Tandy 1000 EX....Sid Meyer's Pirates!, and StarFlight for hours and hours
but my first game i ever stayed up all night to play was Pitfall 2 on a borrowed Atari, i was about 5-6 years old, and played till it was done.

 

[Kermi]

Gunship 2000 on a friend's Amiga with a tape drive. It took over 25 minutes to load. Then I crashed and had to start over.

 

[Milo Windby]

I think it was Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt for the NES,
Unless I played another game I can't remember on the nes before that one.
Bah, going with Super Mario Bros. / Duck Hunt.

 

[cornmancer]

crash bandicoot 3

 

[Blasphemous Rex]

it was either Mario Kart, Mario 64, or Diddy Kong Racing. Those memories are kinda jumbled up.

 

[dante brevity]

I can't dredge up the memory of the first arcade game I played. I'm sure I was 3 or 4 when a parent who wanted 5 kid-free minutes sent me off with a quarter to play Pac-Man or Galaga or something. However, I do remember my first console game: Pitfall. Which explains my lifelong aversion to crocodiles.

Damn crocs...

 

[mr.aravaro]

The first game I ever played was Myst.
My first console game was Super Smash Brothers.

 

[kirathesavior]

Megaman X was the first real game I played. I think the true first game I played was like...Fatty Bear's birthday Surprise when I was like 5 or something.

 

[Gigano]

I got HIND [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hind_%28video_game%29], Hexen II [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexen_II] and a Comix Zone [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comix_Zone] demo disc all at the same time when I was about 11 years old. HIND (military flight sim) was far to complex/boring for an 11 year old, and Comix Zone outdated even then and very difficult, but Hexen II was awesome!

 

[K9unittp]

Rocket knight for the sega genesis, i never made it past the third level because a fucking demon train continued to kill me every time. Still though, i loved that game.

 

[Ickorus]

Pacman i believe.

Wakawakawakawaka..

 

[Nixzilla]

some basket ball game on the nintendo 64 when i was 2 cant remeber much

 

[Fr]anc[is]

3d lemmings for ps1. My dad bought it for me, it was total crap. I remember not understanding it very well and sucking at it. Plus it sucks. My first real game was Beyond the Beyond. I still love that game. Another honorable mention is Kings Field. Also an excellent game.

 

[PAGEToap44]

"My First Amazing World Explorer", a PC game from Dorling Kindersley. Can't remembder how old I was, but I thought it was mana from heaven. My first real game was "Fellowship of the Ring" for Gameboy Advance.

 

[-Samurai-]

Super Mario bros. on NES. I have no idea how I felt. That was a very long time ago.

 

[jpoon]

The first games I played were on the Atari 2600, tank and the like. The first real console game I sunk my teeth in to was the Legend of Zelda. I still remember how awesome that game was when it came out, memories...
