[Trifixion]

"Adventure" text game. On an Apple ][. In 1977.

Still has one of my all time favorite bits...

Player: "KILL DRAGON"

Computer: (giving you that typical snarky text adventure response) "With what, your bare hands?"

Player: (after much frustration trying to come up with a different idea) "YES"

Computer: "Congratulations, you have just vanquished a dragon with your bare hands!"

Player: *headdesk*

I feel proud to say my first game was the ever classic Super Mario Brothers (1) on the NES.

 

[Jedamethis]

Some very old game that I had no idea what it was about because I was way too young

Heresy! We must all bow down to the cuteness that is Charmander.

I think it was some PC game where you fought a bunch of monsters in one room, got killed, fallen through darkness, then there was a fairy godmother, a demon and something. The wall outlines were yellow, there was a top down perspective, the demons were yellow. And that's about all I can remember.

The first REAL game I played I think is Claw. Captain Nathaniel J. Claw.

 

[God's Clown]

Diablo the Second featuring the Lord of Destruction. Good times, good times.

 

[Tron-tonian]

/My lawn - stay off it.

 

[scornedbythenine]

[Saul B]

Something of the SNES.... I'm not sure what game though.

 

[justhereforthemoney]

Twisted Metal Playstation (the first) I was very young probably 5, and I loved it, I liked playing as sweet tooth

 

[razerdoh]

Pong on the arcade machine

 

[Shanecooper]

I think My first game was Super Metroid for the Snes, but I could be wrong as my elder brothers who are roughly five and six years my peer got me to play games since before I could form any coherent thought.

 

[Zero-Vash]

Oh geez... Umm I believe it was called McGee goes to the farm(?). I started young and it was a game on my dad's old Mac. First system game was Mortal Kombat

 

[Stormanne]

Here is the first game I had for my first console...http://www.intellivisiongames.com/gamepage.php?gameId=3

But, the family had this one before I was even born, still have the console somewhere at my mom's house...http://www.answers.com/topic/pong

 

[IlikeLolis]

Tamagotchi if it counts.

Other than that I played Sonic the Hedgehog and Streets of Rage on the Sega Genisis.

 

[ribonuge]

This game holds a very special place in my heart. I love it.

One of two games come to mind:

1) Exterminator [http://www.lemon64.com/?mainurl=http://www.lemon64.com/reviews/view.php%3Fid%3D788] for the Commodore 64

2) This I'm not too sure on, but from memory, it had you play as a pirate looking for treasure in a randomly generated maze. It had a top down view, the maze was kinda set in a jungle or something, and was on the Commodore 64.

Nooooooo, you have to choose charmander as he evolves into a badass dragon eventually. You simply use a Butterfree or Mankey to take down Brock.

Also, Pickachu > Charmander, Squirtle and Bulbasaur... =P


and on topic, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was my first game as far as I can remember.

Spoiler

No no no, you choose Squirtle or Bulbasaur first, because then you can easily beat Brock.
