Never forget your first...

[Steeveeo]

I forget exactly what my first played video game was, but it's between Doom, Turok, and Roller Coaster Tycoon.

 

[Chester Rabbit]

Wolfenstein 3-D in a car repair garage in Brampton. I was 5.

All The Right Type

Yep. Grade 4, teaching us how to properly type on a computer (which, seeing as how some people of my age group type, they promptly forgot... Y U NO STOP PECKING?!).

 

[CleverCover]

I still say it was Sonic '91. The opening music and Green Hill Zone music still send me into fits of nostalgia. And the drowning music signifies very bad things. That shit should be played before exams.

 

[KefkaCultist]

I honestly don't really remember. I mean, I remember plenty of the first games I played, but I don't remember exactly which was first.

It could have been any of these:
-Bubsy
-Galaga
-Gauntlet
-Marble Madness
-Earthbound
-Chrono Trigger
-Pac Man
-Frogger
-Sonic

Those are some of the earliest game memories that I have, so it was probably one of those 9

 

[Mikejames]

Either Asteroids or Skifree.

On an actual console?
Bomberman and Mischief Makers are some of the earliest I can recall.

 

[8M1ke8]

First game I ever remember playing is X-Wing, I miss those games... :<

 

[SkullKing84]

Pong or Mario Bros on the Atari.

First game for
Nes: The legend of Zelda
Snes: street fighter 2
Sega Genesis: Sonic the Hedgehog
N64: Mario 64
PS1: Final Fantasy 7 (I think)
Xbox: Star wars Old Republic
Xbox 360: (can't remember)

[Zaeseled]

Abe's Odyssey. When I was something like 8. It kicked my ass so hard :<

 

[Blobpie]

Hmmm......thinking way back now.....
It was duck hunt i think.....not really sure

 

[superbatranger]

I honestly can not remember. I can tell you the first game I've ever owned, but not the first one I've ever played. I think it was something on the NES. Or was it the SNES?

 

[Setch Dreskar]

I don't remember the exact first, I think it was Age of Empires before the expansion came out. Not entirely sure, it may have been Mario NES but either of those would fit.

 

[tseroff]

I honestly can't remember which came first: It was either Crash Team Racing or Pokemon Blue.

 

[Sixcess]

The very first? Pong, on one of those wood veneer finish consoles in the late 70s or very early 80s.

However the first game I'd say I played in the modern age of gaming would be Final Doom, on the PS1. 15 years later and Doom is still my favourite game of all time.

How old ARE you? I always asumed you were a 20ish year old girl ... Based on your avatar . Then again my avatar is ... Maybe i shouldn't have said anything .

My avatar alone should have put me as slightly older, since it's Hana Tsu Vachel, the lead character of Fear Effect, which was released way back in 1999 on the PS1.

In 'geek/pop culture' carbon dating - the first Doctor I watched was Tom Baker (still my favourite) and the first film I saw at the cinema (on its original release) was Star Wars - which is why I'll never refer to it as 'A New Hope'... because it wasn't called that!

Or in simpler terms, I'm 40, so you were, uh, half right?

 

[columbianbacon]

First that I remember was Battletoads on the SNES. Bloody hell that was a while ago...

 

[Headsprouter]

First one I can recall playing was Croc on the Ps one. But there was probably something before that.

That definetely wasn't my first, but it's one of my favourites. Definestely a guilty pleasure.

My first game was Super Mario Land on the game boy. Or was it Tetris? Pokemon Red? I know it was on the game boy!

 

[ExploreHer]

super mario bros on the NES, i was probably 5 years old

 

[OdjinYorae]

Q-Bert for Atari...

Man i feel old now
