I was bought a gameboy the year of my downfall into madness getting to the point my 1st game was a boy and his blob sure i wasnt any good and only got 5 minutes into it but it was my 1st. So im asking you fellow escapists what was your 1st experience with gaming.

The first time i must of played a computer game must of been 1998 or 1999, when i "borrowed" my brothers Game Boy. Super Mario Land i think, and then not long after Pokemon Red. God, those were simple times!

Pac-Man. It was 1982, my mom was settling the bill at a Chinese restaurant, she gave me a quarter and pointed me at the Pac-Man cabinet to shut me up for a minute or two.

I haven't let up since.

If I recall correctly, it was Commander Keen for DOS. I wasn't very good at it.

Edit: Oh, wait, there was some arcade shooter I wasn't even tall enough to see. I think it had Aerosmith in it.

Scott Adams. The Count. Commodore Vic-20. After that it was Hitchhiker's Guide and Joust on the 64 (and that ain't Nintendo, son.)

Super mario or Zelda when I was 3, I don't remember which one I played first but I completed mario but could not beat the last boss in zelda.

It was probably some Sonic game on the GameGear, but that was before I knew who Sonic was or what videogames were. I like to think that my first real gaming experience was playing Pokemon Blue on the Gameboy Color.

I think it would either have been Pitfall! on my dad's old Atari 2600, or Outlaws at my cousin's place. I can't remember for sure.

It's hard to gauge, since I started playing when I was so young pooping on a toilet was a strange new concept, but I remember the first contra.

I dont think anyone is when they start like i took a break from gaming for a while then and i remember i couldnt even get out of viridian forest it took me like 3 days to try and head into that lesser grey shaded square.

 

[Canadamus Prime]

I honestly can't remember. Some of the earliest games I can remember playing inc. Super Mario Bros., Duck Hunt, The Oregon Trail, & Cross Country Canada.

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King for Gameboy Advance SP in 2003 for my birthday. It was a surprisingly good RPG although it was overshadowed at the time for me by Pokemon Ruby which I tried the day after.

 

[Chimpzy_v1legacy]

Duck Hunt. I still hate that dog.

 

[QuietCupOfTea]

A game called Lomax for PS1 when I was 3 or 4, and I was terrible at it. When I tried it again a few years later I thought it was a pretty fun game though.

I wasn't allowed to play video games as a kid. But I did have this like animated, interactive encyclopedia of the human body back when Scholastic CDroms were still a thing, and I was freakishly nuts for that, with its creepy little puzzles. I played some Sonic at a friends house once. It was very rebellious and I was cool.

The first game I ever beat was Kingdom Hearts, again at a friend's.

Rayman for the PS1, god that was awesome

 

[Rawle Lucas]

If I recall correctly, I believe my first video game was Dr. Mario.
