Your First Game

I'm not entirely sure, was some racing game I think.

I'll say, Bubble Bobble on the NES at my neighbors house when I was 4

I don't know. I guess Freddi Fish or something like that. Although my neighbour had a NES and I would play Super Mario Bros and Duck Hunt at his house sometime.

super mario , duckhunt or track and field. All three came with nes purchase, can't remember what I played first

not counting pong.... played it at my friends house

Rainbow Six on the PC. The original one. I don't actually remember my real first game, but that's the one I remember playing a whole lot. It's funny, if you look at people's first games, you'll usually be able to tell their interests in the long run- or at least draw some interesting comparisons.

For instance, I play ArmA 2 and Men Of War a lot now. I like a lot of realistic video games and mods, and mostly games that present a fantasy or sci-fi setting in a realistic way. You know, in the way that says "If this existed, this might be how it would be". Like Skyrim, for instance.

Crash Bandicoot 2

Star wars shadow of the empire on the n64 is the very first game i can remember playing.

Super Mario Bros. on the NES.

Can't Remember

I know I played a bunch of old school Arcade stuff whenever I had access to Arcades Pac-man, Ms Pac-Man, centipede, Donkey Kong, Mario bros (not Super), Asteroids, Space Invaders....stuff like that.

I do know it was Super Mario Bros. that cemented my love of gaming and made me a "gamer".

My first game i think was Golden axe for the sega genesis.

Great game to start of my gaming life imo :3

Buggy Run for the master system.

It was too sick.

Super Mario Bros.

think it was Q*bert

Thanks for the feedback guys and gals oh one more thing if any of you could comment on my blog I would appreciate it.

Contra

The earliest memory I have of gaming was probably Chip's Challenge. I was like four or something.

Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt for my NES. I was 4.

I got a Turbo Grafx 16 for Christmas when I was 5, the games I remember getting with it were:

• Bonk's Adventure - the most accessible and probably what I played the most of
• Vigilante - I think it was the first game I ever beat, but it's hard to know for sure
• Splatterhouse - was so awesome but probably too hard for me to play for long
• Dungeon Explorer - I could never get very far in this game but always thought the music & style were neat

The original Super Mario Brothers and Duck Hunt, my little brother and I got the NES bundle with the Zapper for Christmas. Man, was that a good Christmas.

@getgaming: Oregon trail, Treasure Mountain(learned me good), first "substantial game" - wolfenstein 3d.

Legend of Zelda on the NES when I was 3. After that I think I played Super Mario on the Game Boy and Tetris when I was 5.

either Tetris on the GameBoy or Super Mario World ... I don't really remember which I got first.

Either frogger on whatever system my cousin had or some text adventure I can't remember the name of on the BBC Micro at school. Fuck i'm old........

Combat on Atari 2600.

I actually can't remember. I was too young. Memories of Donkey Kong Country and Super Mario Brother's 3 are on the edge of my memory, but I probably played other games before those.

Some sort of Pong-like home game system thing.

Super Mario Bros. Probably I have seen and even tried some games before that but that one is the first can remember. It blew my tiny little mind away when I saw it first time at a toy store.

Hmm, perhaps Crash Team Racing on the Playstation (the huge one that came out first). Don't know if it was my first ever, but it was certainly the one that got me into this whole videogame thing.

Yars Revenge or Vanguard on the Atari 2600 when I was 5 maybe? About 26 years ago... Goddam I feel old :)

First game played: Defender for the 2600

First game ever owned: Star Wars: Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight for PC

Probably played the sport collection cartridge for that console... you know, right? The one with two controllers? One joystick and a button each? Looks like the Atari 2600, but it's not... so yeah...

Man, now I want to go find that piece of garbage...

um, Treasure Cove I think. by The Learning Company. educational games! the first real game I played was probably the original Railroad Tycoon, which is one of the best games ever made.

My guess would be either California Games II, Donald Duck's Playground, or Mixed-Up Mother Goose. But I'm probably wrong.

Sonic 2 was my first game.

I have no idea.

It was Road Runner for the Amstrad CPC. I was 4, I believe. I loved it. It's the entire reason I play videogames, essentially.

Tetris on the GameBoy.

Donkey Kong on the Colecovision. It was a pack-in with the system. We also had Turbo, Mouse Trap, and Space Fury.

I think it was Sonic the Hedgehog for the Sega Genesis.

I'm not 100% sure on this but it was probably one of these two back in about '94/95.

In 3rd grade it was Super Mario Bros but I think my true "awakening" came from Doom and Wing Commander in 5th or 6th grade.

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 as a pack in with my Mega Drive.

I remember playing an early version of Mario Kart as a child. It was on a N64.

Probably Lemmings? I'm not 100% sure.

The first game I remember was Super Mario All Stars, so not bad..

The Legend of Zelda on the NES when I was 3 or 4.

Manic Miner on the ZX Spectrum 48k, I think it was Christmas 1982... I was only about 5, and it took me ages to get past the 'Central Cavern' but I was hooked. It was a brilliant game then, and is a brilliant game now - and was also one of the first games to feature background music, certainly it was the first on the spectrum. The way it was done was the processor switched from playing the game to the music every cycle - which is why you got that wierd warbly effect on the music.

You'd never believe such a thing was ever a problem given the power of todays machines.

I don't remember exactly but my first vivid memories are of Combat for the 2600.

Number Maze for the Mac Classic II. My parents had strong beliefs that too much tv was bad for you, but education games could be played for hours.
