What was the first game you remember playing?

[DaWaffledude]

I think it was either...

Pokémon Blue (my friend's, he let me borrow it for a few hours at summer camp)

Scooby Doo Mystery Mayhem (my first GBA game)

or Ratchet and Clank (at a different friend's house)

No idea which came first though. I have a horrible long-term memory.

Worms, the original one for the PS1. I spent many a hour in my youth playing it over and over. The other game I used to play a lot back then was Oddworld: Abe's odyssey.

 

[Peter Croft]

Duke Nukem when i was about 6, I also remember Heroes II and shadow warrior but duke was my first

 

[rvbnut]

Alex Kidd on the Sega Master Drive

Epic, epic game

My dad got a PS1 for christmas when I was 1 and we have photos of me asleep on his lap while he's playing F1 97. That game is the first game I remember playing!

 

[Chaos Marine]

Tetris when I was ten.

It's a toss-up between a few games:
Rayman on my parents Playstation, Sonic (Can't remember which, it was only a brief play) on my cousins Sega, or Mario Kart on a friends N64. All of them some time between 1997-2000
Parents were never big gamers, therefore didn't get into gaming till we moved and they bought me a Gameboy :c

 

[King7s]

It was either supermario world 64 or good old pokemon silver

 

[i love headcrabs]

mine was either spyro the dragon on ps1 or gran turismo on the ps1

 

[gewata]

Morrowind on XBox.

...yeah...

By the way, first time I played through, I thought the silt striders would attack me so didn't use them for ages. And I hit level 13 and hadn't done Arkngthand.
Hey, I was 10. Give me a break.

A game about helicopters back on the ol' Commodore 64. That and the epilepsy inducing loading screens that accompanied tape drives.

 

[AceTrilby]

It was definitely something for the SNES, sometime between '93 and '97 (the year I got a PlayStation). I would say it was probably A Link To The Past - what a way to start!

Also, I now remember my first game purchase - Rival Turf, also for the SNES. It was an average beat-em-up, but it had two of the best character names ever: Jack Flak and Oozie Nelson!

 

[Trippy Turtle]

God of Thunder.
Took months to beat but I was very young. One of my favorite games to date just for nostalgia.

 

[rdaleric]

Flimbo's quest on commodor 64

 

[awnman]

im only thirteen so this is a relitivly new game
simpsons hit and run for the original Xbox in my opion one of my top 5 driving games and one of the handful of spinoff games i reccomend. then it got scratched wich made me sad

 

[reckoner09]

It was either Duck hunt or Super Mario Bros. I really can't remember which was first but I remember having a lot of fun!

 

[Daimon117]

Duke Nukem 3D on the PC. I was like 5

 

[MercurySteam]

Rugrats: Search For Reptar on PS1 when I was 7. That game was the shit.

 

[Carbonyl]

Bomberman, we rented it every weekend for the Super Nintendo. My brothers and I thought it was the coolest thing in the world.

 

[SoulSalmon]

Hmm...
Twas either SMB3 on the SNES or Sonic The Hedgehog 2 on the MegaDrive (Genesis for you crazy people )

My mum got a SNES the same year it came out and my father had done the same with the Sega Megadrive, I started playin them myself at the age of two.
I was pretty much a gamer by 5, already playing some of the more punishing games like Battletoads in Battlemaniacs and Echo the Dolphin.
