What was the first game you remember playing?

[daribian]

Looking forward to how many new and amasing games are being released i was suddenly hit by nostalga and started remembering the classics, so i was wondering, What was the first game you remember playing? You could also put what game you first enjoyed and why.

I first remember playing slaughterhouse, i know i was to young but lets admit, those bad graphics and blood effects wasn't exactly going to mess me up.

Ape Escape for the PS1, I loved that game and I was jubilant when my mother bought it for my PSP and she didn't even know it was that one.

I keep thinking i getting old when i remember the Pokemon days, and i am only 18 SIGH pokemon was good but now the kids would just laugh at the stuff we found entertaining, like Sonic (bad example, he deserves to be laughed at now)

Combat for the Atari...unless you are counting arcade games. Maybe Frogger if they are included or Centipede or Joust. Hmmm.

The first game I ever played is a really old Mac game by the name of Spectre that probably no one else has played on the Escapist but me.

It's an awesome and simple FPS tank game where you roam in a strange 3D enviroment collecting flags and coloured door mats for power-ups. Every time you collected all the flags you move onto the next stage and new and more difficult enemy's appear, but you also get better weapons along the way and I remember the land mines making short work of all my foe's.

I really want to play it again but I think it is only made to work with the first Windows.

The first game i remember playing was Sonic the Hedgehog or Streets of Rage on the Megadrive, one of the two.

I have never owned a Nintendo console, so i never played any of those strange Zelda or Mario titles, it was all about Sonic.

Sonic 2

My first gaming memory is Wonderboy on the Master System...now I'm humming the theme.

Super mario bros on Ye Oldde Amiga.
Then onto Alex Kidd and Sonic the hedgehog on the Sega 16 bit.

[GrouchyBigfoot]

Psychonauts was the fist game to really stand out in my mind as a great game and I forgot the ones before it.

 

[Lord Kodous]

the earliest game i remember playing is one of the Mario brothers games for the NES
the earliest made game i remember playing is (super) breakout for the Atari 2600

 

[Jackson - Deathclaw]

not completely sure which came first, it was either Wolf 3D at my cousin's or Total Annihilation at my uncle's
i got my ass handed to me rather quickly on that 2nd one

That's because 99% of today's gamers think that good graphics is automatically a great game. But when I look at the games I would like to replay, the ones published before 2004 are still surperior to the crap coming out since then.

I believe the first game I played non-stop was Age of Empires 2 on the PC, that is pretty old now. I remember one of the first games i played was Baldurs Gate when i was like 6 or something.

The Secret of Monkey Island.

I was SO MAD because my sister wouldn't read the words to me.
