First game you can remember playing

[Archemetis]

Some version of whack a mole, involving aliens which used the Super Nintendo Scope.

God I loved that thing.

 

[wolf92]

Crash Bandicoot. God I loved that came

 

[OutcastBOS]

Ahh...my first game...EARTHWORM JIM!

 

[Matterer]

Lords of the Realm 2, except i never played legitimatly, I always turned the cheats on. It took me years to stop doing that. Using the cheats is what made Starcraft 1 not fun for me.

 

[Matterer]

Oh ma gawd i loved the spy fox and Putt Putt games!!! Did you play Freddy Fish as well?

edit: sorry, forgot quote

 

[Whodat]

My dad would let me shoot people in Heretic and Doom when I was three...

 

[Cade the Imperfect]

Killzone.....OMG THAT INTRO

 

[JayDig]

on console probly Duck Hunt/Mario Bros.(or maybe Kung-Fu) and on PC it was that Dune RTS followed closely by ID's apogee of games... Commander Keen.

 

[Sir Thomas Sean Connery]

MechWarrior 2 baby!

I LOVED that game. Even though all I did was fire while my dad controlled the mech...

 

[darkfire613]

The first Half Life. My dad had gotten it when it first came out, and let my try playing it throughout my childhood.

 

[daftalchemist]

Mario Kart. It's funny, I played SNES games before I ever played NES games because my aunt and uncle owned an SNES. Then my parents found an NES at a garage sale, and we had tons of fun with that.

 

[dibblywibbles]

Jungle Hunt yo! what a sick game. vine swinging, crocodile swimming boulder jumping awesomeness!

 

[gbleck]

Atari 800 with the BASIC programing language cart. I had this down hill ski game you could program in. Saved it to an audio tape.

 

[SovietSecrets]

Need for Speed 1.

 

[rhyno435]

I think it was either my cousin's Pokemon Blue/Red (I don't remember which one), or Tarzan for Game Boy Colour, that I got for my 7th birthday.

 

[NezumiiroKitsune]

I'm going to tentatively say Rayman or Pokemon Yellow, but I could be wrong on both accounts. I played Fallout, Total Annihilation and Grandia quite early too, but if it was before I started getting consoles I have no idea. I used to play Blade Runner too at a similar time.

I had Bugs Bunny Lost in Time, I'm glad to see it being mentioned it was a great game!

 

[Korolev]

Alex Kidd in Miracle World! Built into the Master System II, that's why. Oh the memories.... oh the.... paper-scissors-rock boss... fights...

Come to think of it, it wasn't a very good game, was it?

 

[The Hero Killer]

Eternal Champions, it came with my Sega Genesis.

 

[Corporal Yakob]

Croc: Legend of the Gobbos for the PS1-I still remember that fateful day at primary school when that kid was handing out video-game cheats and I unlocked the secret crystal level.....

Man Croc rocks! Although it sucks that hardly anyone on the internet seems to have heard of him (Although given what the internet does to beloved childhood characters, thats probably a good thing....)
