what was your first videogame?

[RyQ_TMC]

I recall moving my joystick furiously as a 3 year old, to which some characters responded with movement on the black-and-white screen of my aunt's computer, which might have been a C64, but I just don't remember and didn't care at the time.

The first game whose name I DO remember and which I DO remember playing was the first Commander Keen.

I believe I was four when my grandma let me have a go at this new "Nintendo" thing she picked up. The great granddaddy of the NES:

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt.

I can not remember the name of my first game. It was on a Mac my family had, back in '93 or '94, when I was 3 or 4 years old. The basic premise was that you had some money and had to buy dinosaur eggs and make a dinosaur zoo of some type. I wish I could find it again and play it just for nostalgia's sake.

The first game whose name I can remember, though, was Doom, in 1995. Also Hexen and Duke Nukem. I played those games regularly before I hit the age of 7.

Why Putt-Putt, of course.

 

[Ace of Spades]

My first game was Pokemon Blue. I dislike deja-nazis.

[Zarobitt]

I played my first game when I was two years old. It was Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES.

 

[Agent-Sliper]

I played crash bandicoot 2 on the playstation when I was 7, good times. It took my brother and me about 6 months before we found all the gems.

I played it again recently and I finished it in 2 days.

 

[KillerL1ama]

Jungle Book on the Sega...good times, good times.

 

[Ruzzian Roulette]

Doom, what a great game for a 5-year old.

 

[neuromasser]

I remember playing Pitfall when I was about 3-4 years old. That's one of my oldest memories

 

[Worgen]

super mario brothers.... or maybe metroid, I got them both for xmas

 

[Del-Toro]

My first Videogame was a top down pc flight shooter called "Raptor", by Apogee, who would later become known more widely as 3D Realms. I used to pick the hardest difficulty because I couldn't read and thought that the grim reaper was both a character choice and a really bad pilot.

Good times, good times.

I think it was Donkey Kong 64. But I always watched my dad and brother in awe and envy as they played Diablo 2

 

[phoenixbeast]

The first 1 I really remember was Super Mario World...My mom, dad, brother and me would all take turns at that game (Someone dies=Next person in order)...I remember my mom was the actual person to beat Castle #8 and then they let me stay up much later than normal to see if we could be Bowser's castle...But that was my first game to actually play (and a damn good one to start on!)
