gaming First videogame you played ?

[Silver Letter 1,832]

I played NES games a long time ago since I’m 26. The original Super Mario Bros and Punch-Out!! And not much after that. I didn’t own a lot of games when I was that young. Sorry for you younger gamers. You all missed out on the golden age of gaming.

SNES was awesome.  I still remembering finding all of the secrets for this game.  Pretty sure it was the first game I'd ever played.

 

Oh wow you actually played "ET?"  Was it as bad as people say it was?  O.O    Have you ever played this?  Lol.  The most counter-intuitive game ever.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1uYzVsjybK8

Not only I played it, but I actually owned the game. And it wasn't bad. It was weird. Most games you'd just plug it in and play it. For ET you needed the manual to understand it. You had to find pieces for the telephone, hidden in holes while running away from a guy. It was a bit confusing, as far as I can remember. It got boring very quickly because I couldn't figure out at the time what to do and the layout was a bit confusing. The gameplay was "fall into hole, climb up, run, repeat"... It was "valid" but there were much more fun games to play.

 

And the Raiders of The Lost Ark. I missed this one. Fortunately!

 

By the way: the SNES was the best of it's time IMO. Super Mario. F-Zero. Star Fox... That console was my best friend for a long time!

Wow, the first game I ever played........yeeeeah, I'm pretty sure it was Mario Kart on the badass motherbucking Gamecube!!!! Ahhh.......You gotz to love gaming!!!!

[POW 384]

Uhm probably in 1999 when I was 4 it was either pokemon silver for the gameboy color or super smash bros. N64. I don't remember exactly but those were the glory days of video games.

[Broseph 215]

I believe it was either Sonic the Hedgehog or Probotector, which was basically Contra Hard Corps, but every character was a robot for some reason..
Good ol' memories, way back on the Sega Megadrive (or 'Genesis' as you chaps over the pond called it)

[Moonpie 55]

8 Bit Mario and Zelda  original not the new ones ORIGINAL!  *Flex* yeah im an ol fart ;P get off of mah lawn ! *laughs* Thoes games gave me lots of joy and we still have them today.

[DND 2,355]

Welp, I'm a typical nostalgia-c, so it would be everyone's favorite: Ocarina of Time. The 64 was the first thing my dad bought for my older brother, and then I moved onto the Zelda series once I was old enough to actually play video games correctly. X3 Other than that, most of my nostalgia comes from me watching my brother play these instead of me. You actually notice a lot more when you're the observer other than the player.  

[HungryTroll 137]

It was first Warcraft back in 1994, and that designated my gaming life - RTS is my favourites, and one of games I've spend most of my time was Warcraft III, that's why I never had console, and always played on PC

[Crystallize 279]

The original Mortal Kombat on Gameboy. I still remember that cheap crouch+punch move that got me through the whole game just by using that same move. Good times.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

Pokemon Silver was my first game ever. I got it when I was 5 or so. I loved that game so much! I'm playing SoulSilver right now and the nostalgia is amazing! 

[Super Derpy 535]

The first game I played was back when I first got my first console. (Gamecube) in 2004. I think it was either Lego Star Wars or Super Mario Sunshine.

[Thunderstorm 120]

The first videogame I've ever played would have to be either Spyro the Dragon (PS1) or Crash Bandicoot.

Back when the dragon was a dragon and the bandicoot wasn't doing drugs.

[AnonyPoni 564]

While i'm sure I've played online games before this, the first honest to goodness video game I can remember me playing was Space Invaders on the Gameboy Color

 

That game was even old then

[Chacobos 160]

I may have posted in here already but possibly not, too many threads to keep up with!

It was either Space Invaders 64 or Banjo-Kazooie, I can't remember exactly. 

[Horses and Horses 91]

For me, it wasn't even a console. I remember always bothering my mom for quarters to go down to this laundramat near my home that had an arcade machine in the back that played a Metal Slug game. I may have played something else in the past. But that's the farthest memory I can conjure up.

[BrainyBrony 252]

Growing up in the 00's, I had this incredible little game:

Super Mario Land: 6 Golden Coins. I had so much fun with that game when I was younger. It's a shame that my Gameboy no longer works, I feel a case of nostalgia coming on.

[Cloby 16]

My very own first videogame was SSB for Nintendo 64!

 

Oh god I love it!

 

Then I played Donkey kong 64 , diddy kong race, star fox 64, super mario64!

 

And when I was 8 I started to play Argentum 

[akalink 163]

I think it may have been an arcade cabinet of Nintendo Tennis that my church own for its youth group. I might have been two. I didn't own a game system until I was like 10.

[GhostPony750 959]

The first games I owned were:

1. Hotwheels Velocity

2. Shrek

3. Pokemon Firered

 

All on the Gameboy.

I tried to follow everyone on the DS and PS3/XBox later, but I'm stuck on the gameboy and gamecube games, it's my video game era!

[CosmicDash 31]

My first exposure to video games was when I got a GameCube for my birthday in like 1st grade. I got the original Super Monkey Ball and some 3D Pacman adventure game. I still love Monkey Ball lol

[Derpy Hoops 19]

The first game I remember playing was Super Mario Bros. on the NES. You probably not going to believe it, do to the fact i was born in '98, but my brother had just set it up and asked if I wanted to play it. Probably could explain my love for retro games and consoles

[Not_A_Replicant 109]

Born in 1998 a lot of good games had already come out but i never played them. The first system I got was the PS2. The first game I played on it was Lego Star Wars. I still remember first playing it. Now I have a N64 (best system ever), 3DS, Wii U, and Gameboy Advance, and a Gamecube (kinda of a Nintendo freak.)

It was that black and white Tetris-like game in Game Boy. What a nostalgia. I could spend hours playing that thing. Then the racing game, still in the same Game Boy. My favourite Game Boy game was that tank thingy, still blank and white. Then my friend introduced Sonic in Sega and Power Ranger stuff. Then Crash Team Racing in PS1. That's when I started losing my childhood.

[The Leafeon Pinkeh 3,603]

Well when I was like 3 I remember (probably one of my earliest if not earliest memory) was of watching my sister play one of the Sonic Games. Only parts I remember are sonic somewhere in a city, and defeating that guy with the mustache that rides around on a drill.

Also I remember watching my sister play one of the Mario games.. 64? With the penguins and the stars and stuff? Maybe.

I bet I tried to play these so these were most likely my first games. I always liked watching games more than playing them. First ones I remember playing are Banjo and Kazooi:Grunty's Revenge? And Pokémon Sapphire (still have the game and play it).

 

So in short: Most likely Sonic or Mario but could be Grunty's Revenge.

[LMW-YBC 102]

PS1

Crash Mothabuckin' Bandicoot 2! This was my first game of all-time, as the PS1 was the first console I owned. Loved it to pieces, and no matter how difficult it got, I would still try my best.

 

N64

Super Mario 64. I don't really need to explain why. Who wouldn't buy this if they had an N64?

 

Sega Mega Drive (Genesis)

Sonic The Hedgehog 2. Didn't own a Mega Drive for long, but this was definitely the best I had for it.

Link To The Past. Never owned the SNES version (I had a SNES but I kept thinking it was a NES lol), but I was given this by a friend and played it to completion.

 

GameCube

Super Mario Sunshine, Sonic Adventure 2: Battle, and Luigi's Mansion. Got them with my GameCube, and I got SSBM, Pikmin and Wind Waker in the same year.
