What was your very first gaming experience?

[RatRace123]

Diddy Kong racing for the N64. AAAh. BEST RACING GAME EVER

AAAH, DUDE THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS GONNA SAY!!!! THAT GAME KICKED ASS!

 

[StBishop]

It was some Leonardo DaVinci Point and Click adventure game.

First Game I owned that wasn't educational was C&C Tiberium Sun.

 

[Ponch]

It was honestly Paperboy on the NES.

 

[Kimarous]

I can't recall specifically. Might have been one of those old shareware games like Commander Keen or Crystal Caves. I never really played all that much as a little kid so much as watch my brother or aunt play Sierra point-and-clicks.

My first TRUE gaming expereince, however, was Star Wars Racer for the N64, my very first console.

EDIT: Or maybe it was Secret Agent. Or Lemmings. Or Rescue Rover.

Ah, the memories...

I first played Mario Paint on Snes at 3 years old, I considered it a game and played it every day, till my snes died out from my parents smoking in the house and I got bronchitis as a result.

First game ever played would've been on the school computers in primary school in the late 90's, either SimCity or some wireframe tank game on a Mac.

First game I clocked was Aladdin on the Sega Mega-Drive/Genesis. I still don't know how I beat Jafar cause I haven't done it since...

Super Mario World on our neighbor's SNES. Man, those were good times. I was 3 or 4 years old, and taught myself to read so I could fully enjoy that game.

I remember a friend lending me a NES with a Mario/Duck Hunt combo cartridge... the fake gun didn't even work. So I never played Duck Hunt.

 

[zombiesinc]

My first PC experiences were Doom and Duke Nukem 3D. Final Fantasy VII was the first console game I ever played.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Kaboom on Atari 2600. Followed by Mario Bros/Duck Hunt on the NES.

 

[Yureina]

I played Sonic on a Sega Genesis... whee.

 

[Penemue]

Wario Land on Gameboy. I think.

 

[SimuLord]

1982. Chinese restaurant. My mother has five-year-old me to contend with so she gives me a couple of quarters and points me at a Pac-Man machine while she settles the check. 28 years later I'm still gaming.

 

[Kyrian007]

Home Console Pong. Then Atari 2600, Yar's Revenge was sweet.

 

[Steppin Razor]

Probably something I can't remember. The first game that I can fully remember playing though is Sonic 2. I never did get around to beating it at the time.

 

[Anthropaphagi]

Joust. One of my friend's stepdad had the arcade version in their apartment, and I used to go and play it constantly. Hell, it's on my Xbox 360.

 

[Ieyland]

I don't understand how you guys can remember. I'm 15 years old and I can't. I think it was, uhh, Suikoden II?
