What was your first game you ever played?

Battletoads, and that's why I hate video games.

Asteroids and Pac-Man (at the ice-skating rink I went to) were around then too.

Food Fight or Mrs. Pac Man on the Atari 7800

Super Mario Bros./ Duck Hunt combo cart, and The Three Stooges for the NES. My parents had it hooked up in their bedroom on their old 19 inch knob TV and it was glorious.

Commander Keen is the first I remember playing.

Dunno maybe something on the NES, or maybe the DOS release of Star Wars (the vector/wireframe arcade game) on an old WANG PC-240 (at least I think it was the 240... I was about 4-5 at the time).

I'm still waiting for the CoD 4: MW post.

I don't know which one I played first, but the first system I had was an Atari and my available options were: Cosmic Ark, Asteroids, Superman, Pitfall, Jungle Hunt, Combat, Adventure and Centipede. So it was one of those.

I was born with an atari 2600, so that library was my first in blurry memories, I always felt Stargate Defender and Berzerk were always my favorite games.

Xmas morning 1977, 1st thing in the machine. Think I still have my wishlist somewhere...

I think it was Jupiter Lander for me.

Centipede on the C64 back in 83

Hmmm.

I think perhaps Commander Keen. Wiki seems to suggest it was released around 1990, which kind of aligns with the memory I have. I remember sitting on my father's lap at the computer and just pushing keys to go left and right and jumping. The computer was on what I'd guess was a small home made (my father was into carpentry kinda) wooden desk that was baby blue.

I would have been around 3-4 years old at that point. That might be my earliest memory in general..

Some ZX Spectrum games from my older brother. Probably Manic Miner, Atic Atac or Wheelie. I was around 5.

Wow that's a tough one. I wanna say it was the original Mario on NES. I believe it was the Mario/Duck Hunt combo. Beat my first level when I was about 1-1/2 or 2. This was in '88-'89.

Super Mario Bros for the NES. While I don't remember this myself, my dad told me I beat it on my first sitting at a very young age(not that it's difficult - it's just he was in his 40s when I was born so naturally his reaction time wasn't comparable to mine and he didn't beat it until after me). I couldn't guess what age.

Pitfall , on the 2600. GOOD TIMES!

As a 4yr old at the time, all I wanted to do was go down in the pit and jump over the scorpion.

Super Mario Bros. and/or Duck Hunt.

I'd have to say the original Pong. Too long ago to remember!

Super Mario Brothers.

It was one of a handful of Atari games that I played on an Atari 800XL. Pooyan, Pitfall 2 and Ghostbusters are the most clear in my mind.

Probably Galaxian on Mom's 5200 back in 93.

The first game I played was probably some atari game, but the first game I remember playing was super mario brothers.

I was like three or four years old. It was Space Invaders in a pizza shop. The guy that ran the place sat me on a bar stool and put a quarter into the machine. The memory is still so clear.

I think it was that Mario/Duckhunt combo cartridge on my step-dad's step-dad's (step-step-grandfather's?) NES. I can barely remember it though, so I'm not sure. I would have been 3 or 4 at the time, I think. In fact, playing that NES is then only thing I remember at all about meeting my step-dad's parents.

Then again, it might have been one of the Putt-Putt games, or Minesweeper or something. My early childhood memories aren't particularly clear when it comes to chronology.

Some fighing game on the Sega Saturn. Can't remember the name though... :/

The oldest game I can remember playing was "The Black Cauldron", early dos games were badass.

Weird knockoffs of classics like pipes! and missile command. I don't remember most of them except that they were all on 5.25 floppys.

My first NES game was "Where's Waldo" which I'm pretty sure was terrible.

Pitfall for the Intellivision.

I was 3 and my first game was Super Mario Bros. 3 on the NES.

Super Mario Bros. 3!

Probably pac-man. Maybe donkey kong. Not sure.

i remember 3 different games on the c64 .

leisure suit larry

bubble bobble

and a western game where yoiu had to manage supplies to go prospecting

I am fairly certain that the first game I ever played was, "BC's Quest for Tires." This game was the original endless runner; you play a caveman on a unicycle and you travel from left to right.

I played my dad's Genesis when I was little. The first games I remember playing were Sonic the Hedgehog 1 & 2. I played The Jungle Book on the Genesis a lot, too. The first system I ever got for Christmas was the playstation and I got the first Spyro.

When I was a little kid my aunt had an Asteroids machine, which i played once or twice. Oh but come to think of it, my parents had one of these when i was like 3-4 I think. The first game I really remember playing a lot was BurgerTime on this thing.

Mine was sopwith, in glorious CGA graphics!

Red Baron is the first game I remember playing but according to my Dad this came first.

Mega Phoenix for the Amiga

Super Mario World for the Gameboy.

Super Mario Brothers for the NES and Pac-man for the arcade.

First game I consciously remember playing was Wonderboy in Monster Land at Christmas when I was 3. Still prefer that version over the arcade one.

Hot Wheels: Turbo Racing on the PS1. I feel like that game might still be pretty good even through the nostalgia filter.

I have no idea, my best guess would be something on the Atari 2600.

Alex The Kidd In Miracle World, coz it was built into the Master System....

A knock-off $4 gameboy with 2500 different Tetris and Breakout games... Then Diddy-Kong racing in a demo kiosk attached to a checkout in a supermarket. I just looked it up on Wikipedia to verify that it came out in the same year and noticed that it had Conker in it! Weird for a character from a children's game to later have a bad fur day.

Sugar Candy Rush.

Repton on the BBC Micro and the crying shame is next to no one has heard of it and whilst there are modern version the graphics are horrendous!

Donkey Kong Country.
