First game you ever played?

[RootBrewski]

Super Mario Bros. or Duck Hunt on the NES. I remember playing them both but not which one first.

 

[TitanAtlas]

Prince of Persia... i think it was for the DOS. That and Skyfree.

In the same time i used to play more games of DOS but don't remember the names (i believe there was one of formula 1 and everything).

But for my first console Mega-Drive (i think you call them the genesis), it was Castlevania, Rocket Knight and Sonic!!

 

[meowchef]

Pac-Man, Pitfall, some Hide n Seek game all on Atari.

 

[Tay051173096]

Crash Bandicoot 1 on the playstation christ that getting on for 15 years and I can still remember the music...

 

[Daniel Charlton]

Spyro (the first one, think it was Enter the dragonfly)

 

[LastHour1]

Ah, the first one I can remember playing is Ocarina of Time on the N64, such a glorious game. That's probably part of the reason why I keep telling everyone that it's the greatest fucking game ever.

I've probably played games earlier than that, but I was too young to remember. I do remember very faintly that my dad had a SNES, but I can't recall playing it.

See, this amuses me, for when I first picked up Ocarina of Time (on release date mind you, although that was Australian release date, so y'know, plus a year give or take) I remeber clearly clicking through the manual before playing (yes, that old) and thinking to myself, "Hmm, this is the greatest leap in control complexity I've seen in a game for a long time. I bet if I hadn't played all the previous games in the series, I'd be lost. Worse, I fear if this were my first game ever, I'd be up a creek without a paddle." You are now the first person I've heard of to have this title as your first game ever.

So thank you. Thank you for finally proving me ever-so-decisevely wrong.

No problem! Honestly, I never thought so much of it being my first game, until you provided an interesting point of view about it, what with it being (for the time) a very complex game. I started with Ocarina when I was just over six years old, and I've been gaming ever since. It was a mind blowing experience, I have to admit.

So thank you, snave, for providing me with an interesting view of my experience that would have otherwise gone unknown!

My first game ever:

Prince of Persia was the first game i play'd alone,

but some kind of train game for children on my dad's lap, i dont know what it was named, or if it ever were outside my country,

 

[Soulfoodman]

Not entirely sure. Might be Golden Axe at my cousin's house. I do know the first game I ever owned was Diddy Kong Racing for the N64. Good times.

 

[Ignatz_Zwakh]

Robocop vs Terminator for the SNES. Good times.

 

[dantoddd]

I'm not sure but i think it was the original prince of persia.

 

[Lucian The Lugia]

Oh hell, I don't know...first I remember was I was in Arizona for a week (which was odd because I live in New Jersey) when I was 6 and I played a demo for Crash Bandicoot: Warped.

 

[everythingbeeps]

I dunno, Pac-Man? Something on the Atari.

 

[Bonecrusher]

Pong.

Yes, I am that old.

lol, same here.

If you don't count Pong,
It was Prince of Persia on PC. (prince.exe)

 

[greyghost81]

Bump 'n' Jump on the Intellivision.

 

[Jfswift]

Some shooter game on commodore vic20 that loaded from a cassette tape lolz.

 

[TheGroovyMule]

Hugo's House of Horrors

A brutally difficult adventure/horror game that came on a 5 1/4 Inch floppy. Think I was about 10.

 

[Dutch 924]

Crash Bandicoot.

The very first one, back when it was still good

 

[gothicjak]

Jungle Book for the Sega Genesis

 

[Rubashov]

Hmm... well, the first games I owned were Yoshi's Island and Super Star Wars on the SNES, but I'm fairly confident that I'd previously played Super Metroid and Super Mario World on a relative's console. So one of those.
