Your first video game!

[Allstar309]

My first game was called Dark Cloud for Playstation 2. It was one of those games where you went into the dungeons and saved the world.
I was only like 7 at the time and when I first got the game I was afraid to go into the dungeon cause i was scared of the monsters lol.
And apparently now its a pretty rare game.

Sonic The Hedgehog of the Megadrive. ahh memories.

Super Mario World for the SNES, played it for the first time when I was two. Been a gamer since then.

What game was it? Where did you play it? Why and when did you play it? What did it feel like?
My first game was Spyro 2 for PlayStation. My dad bought it for some reason and I loved it! It felt like I finally found my purpose in life, and that purpose was playing games.
How was your first encounter with a game?

We share the same first game. I loved it, and still do. I'm looking at it right now.
I remember wondering how the citizens ever ate, or where they slept, etc, without realizing that the game wasn't supposed to be realistic.

I was also scared of the second boss. I believe it was "Gulp".

Time to show my age, my first game was Breakout on the Atari 2600.

My First PC game was Bruce Lee and Psi-5 on the Amstrad PC 1512 mmmm love me some CGA graphics.

2 Games for PC where my first games. Age of Empires 2 and Empire Earth. I did have alot of fun with Emperor: Rise of the Middle Kingdom when I still had the CD key...

If consoles are "Video Games" officially, which I'm sure they're not, my first console games where Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon. You know, back when they were actually good?

 

[SpireOfFire]

it was either Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros. or the Legend of Zelda for the NES. i dunno, i've blocked out most of my childhood.

oh wow, im not even that old 21,

but my dad was quite a computer geek, i remember playing those old ass games where you had to type what you did(kings quest,first 5-6larry games,hero quest i played alot,not the board game,old pc game)

and me not speaking english native, i had to call my aunt everytime i needed to know what the english word for look,search and all those commands was really hard at the age of 8, and its actually funny to think about those games got me so hooked back then, i remember "Master of magic" how many hours i didnt spend playing that game, and the hassle my dad went through to upgrade our old 486 to 16mb of ram

oh yeah and Dune 2, the first and most epic RTS ever, tried dune 1 also back then cause i thought the second was good, but i never really understood that game,i was too young i think and not really into english

1992 for Christmas I got a SNES so naturally I first played Super Mario World. There may have been an arcade game or two before that but I couldn't possibly name them.

 

[Anticitizen_Two]

I would give credit to Super Mario Bros as the game that got me into gaming.

 

[Perhaps]

The original armored core.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

Super Mario World on GameBoy!

 

[Wilbot666]

My 1st video game (and I'm showing my age here) was Space Invaders on the Atari 2600. I was five and at my (much) elder sister's 21st birthday. They put all us younger kids in a room with a tv and the Atari and left us to our own devices. To this day I blame that damn mothership sound-effect for my gaming obsession

 

[Lostpropht]

my first game was metroid for NES... ahhhh it was such a simple and amazing time lol!

EDIT: Wait.. does Oregon Trail or Number Munchers count? haha!

 

[Endocrom]

The first game that I personally owned was probably Tetris that came with my Gameboy

The earliest in the family I think was that my brother had Empire strikes back on Comador 64 or Atari, I remember the AT-ATs.

 

[RatRace123]

Diddy Kong Racing! Press start.

Also, I absolutely despise the DS version. It perverted my childhood, and removed Banjo and Conker. I know why they did it, but dear god... the horror.

 

[e2density]

Pokemon Crystal. Given to me by a friend, along with a GameBoy...

I traded a deck of Pokemon cards for that thing.

 

[dirt_empire]

"We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story" for the original GameBoy back in 1993.

Good times, good times... That friggin' GameBoy was huge too! I mean, I was four then, but even now years later I look at it and think how hard it would STILL be to fit in my pocket.

 

[AwesomeMan]

Diddy Kong Racing, I still can't beat the final boss.

 

[Pegghead]

To my memory the first game I remember playing was DOOM back when I was about three years old.
