Your First Game

[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.

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.

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 HIND (military flight sim) was far to complex/boring for an 11 year old, and Comix Zone outdated even then and very difficult, but Hexen II was awesome!

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

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...

 

[DoodleTheory]

I think I held a PS1 controller upside down and played Tekken 3 when I was a baby.

 

[Fidelias]

I can't remember the name of my first game. It was some awesome game that I played on the computer, when you used msdos or something. I'd go down and type in robots in the computer and then play the game. It was this awesome robot fighting game, and I pwned those robotic noobs. I think it played "Eyes of the Tiger" whenever you won. It was AWESOME!!!

 

[AMMO Kid]

Mario Kart: Double Dash. That was a pretty cool game.
