Your first gaming memory

[Regiment]

Gameboy... an era no one shall soon forget...
I had Gold version and I had a slew of Syther eggs. Syther was the only reason I got into pokemon and he has been largly cut from the "list." What ever happened to 150-2 pokemon? Do they even have a number now? What is the point of the card game/video game if you can't "Catch 'em all!"

All the old Pokemon are still around, at the same numbers. They're just spread out over all the games. Excluding the new HG/SS remakes, you can still catch all the Pokemon- you just need seven games and thirteen save files to do it.

Ahhhh, I remember my first console. It was a SNES and the first game I played on it was Super Mario World. Good time, good times. The second game was F-Zero. I loved that console, I still have it somewhere.

I remember having to find Hedwig in the first Harry Potter game on the PlayStation.

I keep going on about this Arena Brawler for PSX. I can't remember the name of it, and so far, nobody on The Escapist has been able to answer me. One of the characters was a guy with Buzz Saws for hands and he could set them up as traps.

Had so many fun times with that game.

 

[Not-here-anymore]

A whole load of random supposedly 'educational' games my parents decided were a good idea when I was 5 or 6. First game I can remember the name of though... either Ecco the Dolphin or Chip's challenge. Started playing that again recently, since I found it somewhere on the web for free!

While we had a Colecovision and Intellivision before, my first memory is playing River Raid on the Atari 800, followed by Donkey Kong, Pac-Man and Galaxian.

 

[Banana Phone Man]

Adiboo was my very first game back when I was about 4. Damn, I'm only 16 and I'm saying to myself "Ah, the memories" That was then followed closely by Donald Duck Quack Attack for the PC.

Well, my first gaming memory, not sure if it counts though, was watching someone play Oregon Trail on a computer at my summer camp. My first actually playing a game was Sonic 2.

I think it was called "Winter Games" on an old apple II(I remember using the huge 5" floppy disks).

 

[Haliwali]

Playing Wing Commander and Privateer with my Dad. Actually, those are my earliest memories period.

Yea I didn't have much chance at being a normal kid.

 

[Toggiado]

fifth element on the ps1 xD oh how far we've come

 

[Royta]

Jurassic Park 2 on the SNES. Sort of a wannabee Contra game, and pretty darn fun too!

Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt... They may not be the first, actually, but it's certainly the earliest I can remember.
