Geez, this thread has been done to death.
But my first games were Super Mario Bros, Duck Hunt, and Legend of Zelda on NES.
The first console I bought personally was a Nintendo 64, my only Nintendo Console that I put my own money in to.

Oh I know that for a fact being a vast minority in the gaming community, Im just saying. There are some... and I really mean some, well more like a few, chick gamers. Ok maybe like 1 per 20 guy gamers. *shrugs*Wardog13 said:Well its a pretty safe bet he/she/it is a guy, since a majority of gamers are.Lizmichi said:You're amusing all gamers are guys.Wardog13 said:
My first game...ah, I remember it well. I don't have a clue what it was either. But family that was visiting brought their computer with them. An oldie that ran on windows 3.x. There was some kind of weird adventure game on it, and I stayed up all night playing it. I didn't have a clue what was going on or what to do, I just kept pressing on in a straight general direction.
That was the first time gaming on my own. We also had an Odyssey2 and an Atari2600 that we'd play as a family once every few months, whenever they decided to hook it up for a night, but that wasn't often enough to consider it the start of my gaming career.

Wow... There are some youngsters here! And some oldies too. I guess I fit somewhere in the middle.
My first system was the Sega Mastersystem. I "stole" it from my cousin. I asked his mom if I could have it and she said yes. He was so pissed. That was 1992-93. I had no cartridges for it but it had three games built in. A Duck Hunt variant, motorcycle racing and a snail maze easter egg. You had to press all the buttons a certain way when you powered up the system to find it. Those were good times. My dad and I competing for the best time on the motorcycles. That was the birth of my gaming lifestyle.
After that it was the GameBoy Colour with Pokemon Red version. I played the NES and SNES all the time at my friend's house but my parents wouldn't buy me a system until the N64. It was also the first system all my friends and I had at the same time.
Oh, such good times...

Super Mario and Duck Hunt on my cousin's NES. I was 3 or 4. And Super Hang On, Sonic 1, Revenge of Shinobi, and Streets of Rage on my uncle's Sega Genesis. Never could get very far on Streets of Rage back then without my little brother as second player. He bought me my own Genesis some years later with Sonic 2 where I eventually got good enough to reach the final boss, but could never figure out how to actually damage it '-_-
'twas fun ^_^

The first time I ever played a video game I was only 2 years old, the game in question was a msdos version of pacman, I always told my dad i wanted to play the "chewing moon-man who ate nuts". At that age I pretty much failed at all the games I played but I still enjoyed them, there was just something so incredibly attracting about the bright pixels and squeaking sounds of a computer.
From that point onward I've been playing video games and i had actually played Doom & Hexen before i started elementary school.

I can't remember which I played first, but it was either the Mario/Duck Hunt cartridge for the NES or River Raid on the C64.
Hmmm...about 3 years old I reckon, something on my dad's PC. But to be honest, I can't remember what, though I do have fond memories for many old shareware platformers, which I've just recently rediscovered. Cosmo, Hocus Pocus, Bio Menace...good times.
like most people my age i think i was 4 and i was playing duck hunt and holding the gun point blank against the tv and still missing.
