Whats your first memory of Gaming

[DiMono]

I remember playing Super Mario Brothers in our dishonest dentist's waiting room. I can't have been older than 5. Dentist ended up being totally crooked, I hope he lost his license.

watching my brother play legend of zelda in his room.

My older sister got an NES for Christmas when I was four or five. We'd always play Super Mario 3, but she was always a lot better than me... for a while, at least.

My first gaming-related memory is getting shot to bits by the first tank from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the NES. I was 3.

Played them around 95 and 96 on an old computer.

Great times.

First memory of a video game would be watching a friend of mine play Adventure Island. I never wanted to play it, but I liked watching him play.

First game I can remember playing myself, though I can't remember the name of it or even if it had a name, was a maze game on the Apple II. I think you were a Leprechaun trying to get to a pot of gold...

I don't remember clearly what the first console game was that I played, but I do know that the first one I rented was Batman: The Video Game on the NES.

I was sneaking in my bros room and played on his old atari 800 PC when I was 2 years old.

I think it was the Home Alone game on the Sega Genesis. My brother was playing it, not me, but I still found it fun to watch. I guess the oldest one I played personally was frogger.

Kid Icarus when I was 4 years old. This was during the SNES era actually, but I was given the old NES my mom had when she was in high school. I never made it past the first level but I enjoyed the music a lot. Super Mario Bros., Legend of Zelda, Excitebike, all the old classics plus a few games I don't know what they were called, I played for the music because God knows I couldn't beat them.

Abes Oddessy *shivers* that game was so good but it creeped me out as a child, not sure why it's whole setting was just so off to me

 

[MouseFlight]

I remember playing Crash Bandicoot on the playstation. Good times.

 

[SpAc3man]

Doom and F/A-18 HORNET on an old Mac that my dad used to bring home from work. Not long after that Commander Keen, Scorched Earth and Captain Comic on an old 3.1 machine. Was back in early '96 so I was 4 most likely. We got our first computer which was a Mac Performa 5400 for Christmas in '96. We had Doom, Doom II and Hornet on it. I finished Doom II when I was 6.

Going over to my cousins' house when I was a kid and playing Duckhunt. My cousins are a good 7/8 years older than me, and we only really got to see them at family gatherings for stuff like holidays. They were always a pretty avid gamers, and so family gatherings pretty much came to mean playing games and hockey with them.

 

[demoman_chaos]

Sonic the Hedgehog 1, my earliest memory period was playing that masterpiece.

 

[The Almighty Aardvark]

SPYRO!!! Every now and then I'll go back to playing it, sadly my Playstation memory cards aren't working anymore so I need to beat it in one sitting.

 

[Cazza]

Playing super mario allstars on SNES. Can't remember which one I played first. Most likily Super Mario Bros because it's the first game.

 

[Hemlet]

Kirby's Adventure, Metroid, and NARC on the NES at my grandmas house during a family gathering. Holy SHIT was I ever entertained by that little pink puffball, and I loved the music in Metroid, and I just liked the animations in NARC. I think I was around... oh boy maybe 3 or 4 at the time? Fond memories man, fond memories.

 

[KingKamor]

When I was two or three, I sat on my dad's lap at the computer so that I could press the space bar to shoot aliens in Marathon. He did all of the navigating, and I couldn't read at the time, so I didn't get any of the story at all. Even so, I can remember the danger sound whenever aliens would get close enough to appear on the radar.

Damn, I miss that game.

 

[Zechnophobe]

I used to play a game about a green martian with plungers as hands on an ancient PC. It was awesome. I was about 3 or 4. I think it was called Cosmo's Adventure or something!

I Played that! Good side scroller, if I recall!

My first gaming memory... gosh hard to recall now. I recall playing breakout on an old machine, but that's about it.
