The earliest game you remember playing

[Dark Knifer]

Maybe a maths blaster game of some sort. I don't really remember.

 

[Birdman1604]

Um, some sort of platform/adventure game on the family computer, a Commodore 64. There were elevators and each room had hazards and robots or something. I wish I knew what it was called.

Then once we got our glorious 486 computer there was Commander Keen, Wolfenstein 3D (awesome, but made me nautious and still does), and a simple star trek game called EGA Trek on a big old floppy disk. I'm sure there were more but it was too long ago.

Lemmings on the PC! (an Amstrad 286 )

Though at the time i did find exploding the lemmings in different patterns as fun as playing the actual game

Oh wow, blast from the past there. I'd totally forgotten about that trek game. It was another that (barely) worked on our old 286

mario 1 on the nes. Or maybe Sonic the hedgechog.

 

[tweedpol]

Believe it or not, i think it was the original Command & Conquer... oh for the days when i was an RTS guy before my patience drained away like cream down the plughole of indifference leaving naught but a cloudy white residue which occasionally nags me to consider buying Dawn of War, or wonder what C&C4 will be like.

 

[Arc_Light]

A tie between Sammy the learning snake and duck hunt.....

 

[Nanaki316]

The Dizzy series for the Amiga. God bless that egg.

Fantasy World Dizzy was my favourite, though I had to play it on the crappy ZX Spectrum first, that was before I got my Amiga 500 (Cartoon Classics Bundle with Captain Planet, Bart Simpson vs Space Mutants). =D

Haha yeah that one was my favourite too! Dying so near the end really sucked... lol
I heard a rumour that he was making a comeback for the Wii but now I can't seem to find any info to back it up

 

[Emilie Diabolica]

mario kart 64! i have many fond memories of that game..

 

[Trifixion]

Adventure (a.k.a. Colossal Cave Adventure) on an Apple II, when I was age 6 or so.

 

[Marlun_42]

Galaga arcade cabinet, in the local Pizza Hut about 1985. I died in about 3 minutes. I have since conquered it for its impudence by going around the score 3 times on 1 quarte.

 

[Nannernade]

Donkey Kong Country 3 for the Super Nintendo ha ha, greatest game ever. =P

 

[Rhayn]

Hm, I'm uncertain but as far as I can remember I got a couple of floppy discs from my auntie that contained Cosmo's Cosmic Adventures and Ski Free. Couldn't have been much older than 4 or 5 at the time.

That Yeti haunted my dreams.

 

[Nomanslander]

All I know it was an Atari game, one day I woke up and there was an Atari bought by my parents for cheap (since the crash), with a whole bunch of games.....can't tell which game was first but I remember playing Pac-Man and wondering...

Does this ever end??

As for my earliest game memory. flashback that came on 4 blue floppy disks

Unsure. He was a fast bugger and most of the time he'd catch you without even breaking a sweat, though I have some memories of managing to elude him once though I think another Yeti came for me right after that.

 

[oppp7]

Super Mario Bros I think.
Something on the NES...
