Your first game using analog sticks.

MGS1

I really can't recall. It would be Episode 1 Pod Racer for the N64, but that only has the one analog stick. So maybe this game called Run Like Hell. It was my uncle's first xbox game, and he started playing it right away. Seeing as how I thought my uncle was the height of cool I went and watched him play. Not sure if I actually played though, maybe Sly Cooper?

Probably Rayman 3, I turned off my analog function on the PS1, but when I realised you couldn't on the PS2, I rolled with it.

Dual analogue sticks or an analogue stick?

The first game I played with a Dual Analogue control pad would be something on the PS1, lets say Syphon Filter for the sake of argument.

However, the first game I played using an analogue joystick was probably FA/18 Interceptor on my Amiga... I remember back in the day there was a big distinction between analogue and micro-switch joysticks. Analogue joysticks were generally considered to be far superior, but were a lot more expensive. I had to save up and combine a Christmas present to get my first analogue joystick, a Gravis if I recall correctly.

I was starting to feel old with people talking about stuff on the PS2 and Xbox, while I was thinking of old analog joysticks. In terms of on a console with what people consider analog sticks these days, Mario 64, but the broader concept of analog sticks in general that includes joysticks...absolutely no idea. Something long enough ago that I can't remember, especially since it wasn't even mine.

It was Ape Escape for me too. Didn't that game ship with or require analogue sticks? (never owned a PS1, just tried it in the shop)

 

[Nemesha]

Metal gear solid 1 on the PS1 of my then girlfriend. only played that twice though. After that it was supersmash bro's on the N64

 

[SonicWaffle]

Goldeneye 64, AFAIK, because it came bundled with the console...

 

[TjoxYorro]

Must be Super Mario 64 for .. the N64
My first console and game.. good old times ^,^

 

[Frybird]

Gran Turismo 1 with the first, non-rumble PS1 Analog Controller.

First Dual Shock Game was Metal Gear Solid 1, wich had absolutely AMAZING rumble effects, even when compared to many games today...

(Also a honorable mention to MGS2 for it's very realistic representation of being peed on your hands...those sick bastards)

 

[scrambledeggs]

For me: Ape Escape as well. But Ape Escape has shit controls. I still feel like a retarded sloth when I play it. However, as it introduced me to analogue sticks, I will forgive it.

I remember the first game I ever played using an analog stick was that Star Wars Podracing game for the N64. It was such a new and exciting experience as all my prior game history up to that point had been on the SNES.

i think it was that.

 

[Voodoo_Person]

Mario 64 or Goldeneye on N64 or possibly Starfox 64, I cant remember exactly, was aaages ago

 

[tobstar009]

Mario 64...nuff said!

 

[Daipire]

Goldeneye, but using dual was probably Halo.

 

[RaphaelsRedemption]

Um... Croc on PS1? At least, it was the first game for PS I ever played. It was good.

Now I pc game. Mostly because I cannot afford anything else.

 

[Jedamethis]

Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone on the PS1.

That game was hardcore man!

I had that! Not the first though, I think the first with analog sticks was Rayman...

I can't remember any games from before the PS1, apart from Double Dragon and Altered Beast...
On the Megadrive I think.
