What was your first video game?

[pixiejedi]

I concur,

Thread makes me feel old. Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt on NES

Otherwise I'ld have to say Ocarina of time is the first I played with the intention of beating the game. All around those where the days...

 

[TheTemby]

Ninja Gaiden for SNES... still havnt finished it

 

[Dhell]

Space Invaders for the C64

 

[Christemo]

Heroes of Might and Magic 3 for the PC. my dad is a gamer too, and he taught me how to play it. it was not only the first game i played, it is also the best. i might rebuy it on GOG.com when ive bought a ps3 slim.

[karp250]

pokemon gold for the gameboy colour good memories

 

[Booze Zombie]

Duke Nukem 3D, at age 10.

 

[Fragged_Templar]

The first games I played were Wolfenstein 3D and Monty Python's complete waste of time... incidentally this was the first and only time I faked illness to get out of school( and in case any of you are really thick, yes, it was so I could go home and play these games)

For the 648th time, Pac-Man, arcade cabinet in a Chinese restaurant, 1982. I was five and my mom gave me a quarter to get rid of me while she settled the check with Mr. Wong.

Star Wars Podracer on the N64. god bless easily entertained children

Pong. No I'm not that old, I just had an Atari 2600 when I was in kindergarten. I never got what all the fuss was over the 2600 version of Pacman, but then again I was 5.

 

[PirateKing]

Donkey Kong Country.

i specifically remember galaga, when i was a kid, but i cant remember which console it was on. i dont think it was the atart 7800 (if thats the right number) as i specifically remember a keyboard.

 

[Nieroshai]

Funny to see so many Sonic and Mario starters. I'm one of the two, I don't remember which.

 

[FROGGEman2]

I hate to be the search bar nazi this time... but yeah... i've answered this like, a dozen times. And its always the same.

Judging from your previous posts, I assumed that you actually take a sick pleasure in it... >_<

I'm embarrassed to say Age of Empires, although the first game that I really got into and enjoyed was Age of Mythology. I've kinda shunned RTSs since then, but I always run back to them when a new one comes out. I mainly only play them because my computer is so shit, so I can't handle all the good modable games T_T

 

[Arcyde]

Sonic 2 on the Genesis (which was my first console)

Spoiler

 

[ENERTRON]

geez.... something for atari... maybe Combat... nes had just come out and it took me 2 years of begging to get one

 

[Teufelblitz]

It should probably be clarified whether we mean games played on some form of home entertainment system or in an arcade.

Since I am going to assume we mean home entertainment system, my first video game would be PONG. (EDIT: Since I saw it above, yes, I am that old.) My babysitter actually had one of the old clunky versions when I was a kid. As sad as it sounds, it was fun at the time because it was new.

 

[Daveman]

Mine was Sonic the Hedgehog on a Sega Game Gear.
What was your first video game? (or one of the first)

same but on sega megadrive

 

[Jandau]

Not quite sure, but the earliest name I can recall is the original Tetris or Prince of Persia. I think there were some before, but damned if I know what they were...

Massive amounts of respect to you, sir.
