gaming What was the first video game you ever played?

[CypherHoof 26,483]

pong - sorta a tennis game played with two dials (one per player) and notable for being the first digital game... but lacking a cpu or program; all the game logic was performed by 7400 series TTL chips

Yea, very easy to remember. I wouldn't say "playing it" but rather use my toddler hands and drool all over it.

 

And no, this is not a Nintendo DS. This is way before even Game Boy was invented!

[fare67t 243]

I don't even remember, but I'm sure it was one of the original Gameboy Pokemon games, maybe either Red or Gold

[Early Sunsets 2,107]

I think it was either Zelda Ocarina of Time or MechWarrior 2, but I can't remember which. I can't remember what happened last week, let alone my childhood.

The first game I've ever played was Tiger Woods PGA tour 2004 on the Original Xbox. I miss customizing my own golf character, like making him/her look ugly af and it made me laugh so much as a kid.

Prince of Persia, in windows 95

[DixonTheAdversary 1,632]

The first game that I remember playing was:  Hot Wheels: Beat That for the PS2.

[Crimson storm 1,843]

Super Mario world 3 NES

[Kadae 655]

I'm not entirely sure, but I remember The Curse of Monkey Island was one of the very first games I played, and then from there I really started to delve into games in general. If you've never played it, you play a sarcastic, lovable pirate wannabee named Guybrush Threepwood, and follow him on his many misadventures on his quest to destroy the fearsome zombie pirate LeChuck. It's the third game in the series, but you don't miss out on too much if you start with this one. I've got a very big place in my heart for point-and-click adventures because of this series!

Either Super Mario Bros, or Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES. Don’t remember which, but I assure you, it’s one of them. Most likely 3. I was 4 at the time

[Alphabet Soup 38]

Well I'm pretty sure I've been playing games for longer than I can remember, but the first game I really remember playing was Lego Island! Me and my older siblings used to play it all day long!

[Pastel Heart 6,467]

According to my mom, Zelda 1 on NES was the first time I ever played a game, but the first I remember playing on my own memory is Sonic 2 on Game Gear. First boss worst boss.

[Stone Cold Steve Jobs 22,442]

I played Paperboy on the SNES. The console was my mom’s. (My Ex step brother eventually stole it) my personal first game was Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards. I still love that game.

[Yoshi89 5,293]

Toss between two. We were a Sega Genesis family growing up, and the first games I remember playing on it were Sonic the Hedgehog 1 and Evander Holyfield’s Real Deal Boxing.

Probably Pong or some Atari 2600 game. Forgotten which specifically.

[Pandora 38,089]

The original Super Mario Bros. at my friend’s house.

Indeed. Pong for me - because it was literally the only video game in existance at the time

[zerox 1,144]

Tetris on windows 3.11. That was in the late 90's

[zoloft 117]

Age of Empires II. I didn't even know how to read back then, I don't know how I managed to enjoy the game.  I still play it sometimes!

[mssparkles123 7]

Pokemon Sapphire. Although I was so clueless at the time I never came close to beating it until I was older.

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,794]

Most likely one of the Mario games, either Super Mario Bros or World. I was probably like 3 years old or something so it is extremely fuzzy. Mario is a safe bet.

[Flutterstep 47,109]

I’ve definitely played Nintendo 64 games, but the game I remember the most was Grand Theft Auto 2 on the original PlayStation. 

[MangoFoalix 25,038]

Probably Simcity 3000 or Rollercoaster Tycoon 2. Something like that.
