Your first game..

[GothmogII]

Welcome, to Imperium Galatica.

Yes I later found out it didn't get the best ratings, yes the live action cutsences were cheesy, and the combat at times overly simplistic and mercilessly hard at the same time. But it was my first.

I mean, I've yet to play another game that let's you walk around your own ship and made it feel like -you- really were the captain. And yes, I know there are some games that have it, but none have done it as well as I think IMpG did.

Ahh the memories..... 10 years ago the gods of gaming delivered unto me.... The First Spyro game, Crash Bandicoot 2 and a PS1.....

And you know what?

I STILL HAVE THEM!!

 

[Willwillwritehiswill]

I can remember playing pong when i was really young. That was the first game i played. first game i owned would either have been donkey kong on a tape loading doodad, or sonic the hedgehog built into a sega master system 2.

 

[N-Sef]

I don't remember if it was either Donkey Kong on the Game and Watch or the original black and white Prince of Persia. Still, they had a profound influence on me.

 

[poleboy]

A NES game, probably. I think it was Super Mario Bros. I also had a C64 that I remember playing Barbarian II on, but I don't know if that was before or after the NES.

 

[stormcaller]

Age of Empires even though I called the priests womamoos and the axemen chang-changs(after their unit sounds) until I was 7

 

[TsunamiWombat]

Mars Lander. Atari.

 

[Cyclomega]

I know it was an Atari 2600 game, but I can't remember if the first one was Pitfall II, Kangaroo, Pole Position or Galaxian...

 

[Novajam]

The First Age of Empires. Still love the series.

 

[oAmadeuso]

Pong - ZX81

 

[Waflmao]

International superstar soccer 64

[KSarty]

Super Mario Bros. for NES. I started playing that and Top Gun on my cousin's NES back in '91, then I got my own NES with Mario 3 in '92.

 

[waffletaco]

Wow.. I can't remember! I remember playing chip's challange, spear of destiny, wolfenstein, Doom rebel assault. I think those are the earliest ones I've played.

Claw... the platform game with a pirate cat ?

I always wanted that game, but could never find it in any stores :/

 

[Crystine]

Spyro the Dragon for the PS1. I was seven at the time.

That makes me feel old.
Mine was DuckHunt. Then I moved onto Pong, then Super Mario Bros and then the Genesis came out and we'd rent the system and games for it and then the Playstation 1 came out and that's when I was hooked. =}

I rented the games like Spyro, Twisted Metal, Gran Turismo, and Need for Speed also... I once played Pocahontas (lol) on PS1 or was it Genesis..? My memory sucks.

 

[Drednought1]

Mine was Rayman on the PS1, such a fun game it was.

 

[Cyclomega]

Crystine> Did you play Twisted Metal 2 ? So far I think it was the best one on the PS1.

 

[David Allen]

Mine was Tetris for Game Boy, back in '91. Followed by Super Mario Bros. for NES. To my mind, still two of the best games ever made.
