Your first game..
- Thread starter lozy
- Start date
Horace Goes Skiing was the first game I ever played, but the first game I owned was Pooyan, which was the heartbreaking tale of a pig on a lift. It doesn't end well.
I think it was the first Super Mario Bros. on the NES. Or maybe Megaman X. I don't remember, it was so long ago.
Legend of Zelda! The original one. Maybe Metroid before that. I'm really fuzzy on the details because I was three when I first got a Nintendo. Beyond that, I remember some Simpsons game from my childhood... Don't remember what it's called, I never beat it. I was too young to have the focus. You went around spray-painting things, I think.
The first one I actually owned was Strike Commander CD, a DOS air combat game in the style of Wing Commander but featuring F-16s and mercenary pilots in Turkey rather than alien cats in space.
Must've played it through three times before I started playing other games. Good times, good times.

wolfinstien 3D. I didn't actualy play it (i was about 1-2 at the time) but i watched it and eventually started playing later
Pac-Man, in 1982, when my mom gave me (age five) a quarter and let me play the game on a tabletop cabinet while she settled the restaurant bill.
How do I remember such a thing so vividly? Well, I might be a hair off on the year (but I'm pretty sure I was in kindergarten), but the Chinese restaurant in question still had that Pac-Man machine when I was in high school.

I'm pretty sure mine was Pac-Man on the Atari 2600, but not sure. Might have been Super Mario Bros on NES.
Duck Hunt. I think that's what got me into First Person Shooters these days, but I wouldn't think so.
