The game that started it all

[the monopoly guy]

Magic School Bus explores The Amazon was my first gaming experience.

Oh, man I remember those, I loved those. I think those were mine too.

 

[Iceman23]

My first was Mega Man X back on the SNES... ahh the memories.

 

[axia777]

PONG, really.

 

[Tattaglia]

Quake on my cousin's computer. The nailgun was the best thing that happened to me after I got a bunk bed at age 3.

That would be a rail gun.

Err, no. I'm damn sure it shot nails, not bursts of energy. And a railgun is not better than my Sesame Street bunk bed, good sir.

...unless it shot out unused copies of E.T. for the ATARI 2600 to try and wipe them from the face of the planet.

Well, that's obvious. I'm waiting for the day when technology is advanced enough to make cannons launch anything. For now we can use that wretched game as a substitute for clay target shooting.

Super Mario Brothers on NES

 

[KSarty]

Super Marios Bros. on the NES is the first one I remember, but my older brother told me not too long ago that we used to play a DOS-based Space Invaders on our family's first computer 2 years before we ever got an NES.

 

[Grubnar]

My first game, like, ever?
Pacman.

My first game on the PC?
Wolfenstein.

But the PC game that really changed my life, the one that made me buy my first PC just so I could play it (I need it for school, dad. It will help me do my homework, honest!) ...
QUAKE

 

[Duke Machine]

pretty sure it was Star Wars X-Wing on my dads computer when i was like 4...good times

E.T. I finished that one as well. Me and at least one other person on the planet.

[Creativename360]

Im 17, and my first REAL gaming experience was Fallout 1 in like 1996 I didn't quite get most of it, and I sucked, but It's a game I still play today.

 

[jeremyTH]

I'm 13 June 17,1995.

I'm not sure what my first game was,but it was probably a number of them.
I had a Game Gear and a Playstation.
The games I remember playing,hating, and loving,
PS1:Toy Story 2(I could never get past Slime Time, he would back me into a corner and rape my health) and Spyro 1 and 2.
GG:Home Alone and Sonic Chaos.(I always thought that the second level was an ice level.)

 

[Lvl 64 Klutz]

Tempest!
Anyone remember Tempest?
Think I played it on Dos, actually.
First console game was Tetris for the NES

 

[fluffylandmine]

Fluffylandmine, why is your avatar animal farm?

First one that made me a gamer was Call of Duty 3 on the Wii. Got me addicted to FPS. Made me buy Call of Duty 1 and 2. Thus making me a gamer when I got my first gaming PC last year.

All avatars are equal, but some avatars are more equal than others.

And come to think of it the first game I actually played was myst...I just think Pokemon was more interesting...boy was I odd...

 

[codac42]

Duck hunt for the NES oh how i shot those birds I still have that infact mabey ill go play (and try to kill that dog)

 

[Corven]

I think it was that mario bros/duck hunt double pack game that started my life as a gamer, damn that stupid hunting dog and it's taunting laughter.

 

[krow_7484]

Blades of Steel for the NES. I still get a little excited when I hear that intro music...

 

[zachatree]

tetris! I love the Russians for making me a gamer.
