What was the 1st video game you ever played.

[wulfy42]

I can't honestly remember what the first was anymore.

I remember the first Wizardry was awesome compared to what we had played before that. I don't remember if I played that on the Apple onr the TRS 80 though. A bunch of commedor 64 games I think came after along with all those atari games. I think we may have played pong as well but I can't remember. Pac man was also big for awhile. Honestly it's been so long only a few gems really shine out to me at this point.

Zork (almost sure that was on the TRS 80)
Wizardry Proving grounds of the mad overlord (first RPG of that type for me)
Adventure (one of my favorite Atari Games)
Mail Order Monsters (great Commedor 64 game)
Zelda (awesome freaking action RPG.....I practiced using a controller with that game big time)
Super Mario Brothers (honestly that game was so amazing when it came out..both in the arcade and on the nintendo)
Meglomania (another atari clasic I played with friends alot).

I also made a bunch of my own games after learning to program in basic (first through Logo at school). I'm not sure when that was in the timeline of games but it was when Apple IIc's were pretty new.

Games back then were magical in a way. Everything was new and you could spend months playing a new game like Wizardry that we probably would kill in a week or two now. Sad in a way.

Either Sonic the hedgehog, The Lion King or a icehockey game called Elitserien 95, all three for the Sega mega drive.

 

[Hobbit in Denial]

It was either Sonic the Hedgehog or Golden Axe on Megadrive i think. Still have both games and the Megadrive i played them on too.

The Age Of Empires I demo, we played it on a computer in pre-school and that when I started loving videogames.

I first played Duck Hunt for my brand new NES just before my 4th birthday. Super Mario Bros. and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles soon followed.

Pokémon Blue on the Game Boy. I remember beating that game on the toilet . And I got to play it again at a gaming convention in Dublin a few days ago so that was awesome

 

[Infernostrider]

i'm not exactly sure..but it's either the first Sonic game, Street fighter 2 or civilization 1

 

[Avelestar]

Christmas of 1995, I was 5 years old and I got Donkey Kong Country and a SNES. It is one of the pinnacle moments in my life, and will always be one of my favourites.

I can't remember the name, I was probably 6 or 7. It was on the SEGA Megadrive and I think it was a CD. If i remember it right, it was a game in space with a small spaceship and it was a short game. That's about all I remember. Well, If anyone knows which game it is, I'd love to know.

 

[Bluesoul]

I cant remember for sure,but maybe it was Alley Cat or a boxing Game for the Atari I cant even remember the name... anyway it was a long time ago

 

[Jester00]

some rayman fake i think. cant remember the name.

For my 3rd birthday my grandfather got me a SNES along with Super Mario All Stars (the version that included Super Mario World) and the Lion King. I don't remember which I played first only that I sucked at both of them. I was only able to beat them recently when in a moment of nostalgia I downloaded both for my emulator (sadly I sold my SNES when i got an N64)

 

[Terminate421]

Sonic the Hedgehog on the genesis.

 

[J21R]

Sonic on the Megadrive, I think. I got a bunch of games with it way back in the day, I assume I'd have played Sonic first

 

[Stefan Larsen]

Doom I was raised right.
