The first game I ever played was Commander Keen 4: Secret of the Oracle. I was about 5 and couldn't get enough of the pogo stick action. I downloaded it again today for nostalgias sake and beat it in about 3 hours, but it was still fun. What was your first game?
-
I can't 100% remember, it was either Masters of Mischief (that educational game, it was for my Mac LCIII) or Super Mario Brothers on Gameboy for christmas.. that was a big day for me. Now I play games for a living!
-
Um, peek-a-boo?
-
Lol, you know what I mean Valrus.
-
Way back in the day, I used to obsess over this Jeopardy-esque game on my elementary school's computers. I'm talking about the old, old Apple computers with the two tone green screen with the five in floppy disk. Hells yes. But as for more actual games... probably Oregon Trail in elementary school as well. Nobody in my family had any gaming systems for a very long time. The first system we had was Super Nintendo, and I know Super Mario Brothers was the first game my brother got for it.
-
I think the first video game I ever played was Duck Hunt on a friend's NES.. Or Zelda or Mario, I'm not sure which he let us try first.
-
Ummm...I would have to say that it was either Pac Man, or Oregon Trail, on this ancient Apple computer my "best friend" at the time owned. It was waaaay fun. Way more fun then verision you can buy today. Seriously. --Those count, right? Console game wise...errr...I once attempted to play this game called "Zombies Ate My Neighbors", but my friend got so frustrated with me not understanding how it worked that she gook the N64 controller away from me, and had to show me how it was done. I didn't really get to play anything else until my family was finally suckered into buying a PSII four years ago, and I played, I believe...Pirates: The Legend of Black Kat or whatever it's called.
-
Ah, Zombies Ate My Neighbors. I totally have that on my computer right now.
-
the first game i played that mattered was called "Spaceship Warlock" and if you found it for me right now, i would give you oral
not to mention, of course, Super Mario Bros and Life and Death
-
besides the basic NES duo of Super Mario Bros. and Legend of Zelda, id have to say Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
-
hmm I think it was maybe Boulder Dash or a Space invaders clone captain comic was a pretty early one too.
-
I lived in Asia for the first half of my life, so the first game that I played that I understood (you try playing cheap Chinese bootlegs when you're five) I think was Diddy Kong Racing. Maybe Sonic, and maybe . . .ugh, something else. Can't remember.
-
duck hunt on my cousins NES, those poor poor ducks
-
Age of Empires.
-
Duck Hunt on my babysitter's daughter's NES...followed by some old Mac game (in the black and white days of what I think was OS 3 or 4) called Catacombs or something like that. Easy to get to a certain point, and then it got balls hard. Reminded me of the original Prince of Persia.
-
Fishing Derby on the Atari 2600. I've been gaming since I was a toddler, and I'm proud of it.
-
I can't remember if it was Doom or Heretic.
-
Command and Conquer Red Alert. I remember hat I could set up a wall of Telsa towers and watch those little riflemen fry for hours! I always thought that video games were a stupid waste of time before that.
-
Wonderboy on Monster Land on a little tabletop arcade machine outside a food and drink kiosk in Townsville one fateful holidays to visit my grandmother.
I would insist on playing it whenever we were near the beach the Kiosk resided next to.
It signalled the start of a long, long love affair with videogames.
-
Damn after reading I feel old.
The first games I ever played were Pitfall and Donkey Kong on the Atari 2600
-
i started on mario brothers nes when i was like 2 or 3, but i too am on the spaceship warlock fapfest. my uncle had it for macintosh when i was young and i remember it being amazing.
-
My first game was Super Mario Bros. for NES. I'll never forget it because my parents got it for me on my third or fourth birthday. The reason I'll never forget it is a combination of the game just being fucking awesuma, how hard I thought it was, how my Dad was the only one who could get to the second level, and the fact that my grandparents had gotten me some kind of slotcar racing track set that I didn't touch for the whole time. My parents had to force me to play with it because my grandparents were pissed off I just wanted to play Nintendo.
-
Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade on the ATARI. You couldnt save so I managed to finish the game once after playing for a good hour. People threw knives at you and you could punch them to make them dissapear and you got 50 points. Incredibly frustrating game but memorable.
-
I'm not sure on the name, but it was an Atari game that was a total Frogger ripoff. IT was the exact same thing, only you had TWO roads to cross, not one. And, you were a bright orange chicken. Anybody know what I'm talking about?
I feel old as hell posting in this thread.
-
I THINK it was Duck Hunt when I was around 3 years old. My anti social behavior had only begun!
-
Lemmings on our old C64.
-
Well, it must have been some NES game. I'm guessing either Duck Hunt, Super Mario Brothers, or the original Final Fantasy.
-
Golden Eye for the N64. It became the only reason why i went to a friend's house. And because his mom made the best sandwiches.
-
donkey kong country.
-
Seriously though mine was PROBABLY Sonic The Hedgehog 2.
-
I was 3.
I have no damn clue, but I'm willing to wager on Super Mario Brothers.
-
I don't remember which was first (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Intellivision_games).
-
PONG.
Seriously.

Freeway.
And Freeway predates Frogger by about ten years.
Frogger: 1981 by Sega/Konami
Freeway: 1971 developed by the University of Washington psychology department on an IMLAC PDS-1 graphics minicomputer.
-
PONG, actually. I'm not that old. However, my grandmother had a pong machine and we used to play it when we were, like, 3 years old.
My first console game besides the 3-game package that came with the NES (you remember the old Mario/Duck Hunt/Track & Field cartridges?) was Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the first one. My dad bought it for us after we saw the first TMNT movie.
-
I'm so old I have no idea.
I'm guessing it was asteroids or missle command for atari.

Well, excuuuuuuuuuuuuse me
(Seriously? Man, I had no idea. That's actually pretty cool. Thanks!)
-
First game I ever owned wass Crash Bandicoot on PS1. First i ever played...? I think it was a Pac-Man platformer fot the Turbografix-16. Or something of that nature.
-
I am quite sure it was gauntlet on C64, but there is a chance it was either Great Giana Sisters or Bubble Bobble
-
I did "Intro to Software Engineering" as an elective a while back, last two lectures the lecture went over how to program Frogger and Tetris, was pretty cool, more people were in the lecture theatre for those two lectures then even the first lecture of the Semester I think...
-
Secrets of Monkey Island, featuring super secret LOOM advertising.
-
It had to be Super Mario Bros. and Duckhunt for NES.
I seem to remember watching my step-brother playing.. and knowing I was terrible at the game.
-
Altered Beast, on Sega.
DAMN...my brother and I never beat it, either...
-
Civilization on a 386.
-
The first game I ever played was the original Diablo for the PC. That game hooked me on gaming and I've loved the hobby ever since. Everything about that game was brilliant- the atmosphere, the action, the complete randomization. To this day, no game save Diablo 2 has been able to replicate the brilliantly addictive action of Diablo. Hellgate: London might come close because it's all the same team, however. But Diablo holds a special place in my gaming library and a permanent spot on my hard drive b/c it's just so damn good (and, if you play with headphones and the lights off, scary as hell).
-
I can't remember what game it was, but Pong or something close to it was one of them. I can describe the games and the system though.
The system was some kind of console. It used paddles (i.e: a dial, not a joystick) that had one button.
Games included were:
- a colour version of Pong
- Some kind of cowboy game where you shot at each other from either side of the screen. There were cactii in the middle of the screen, I think. They blocked the shots, but were also partially destroyed by the bullets?
- Some kind of top-down River Raid-esque game where you flew a plane and shot things on the ground.
- Some kind of side-on game where one person played as a plane flying over a field, and the other a tank (I think?) and you shot at one another.
There were others, but I can't remember them.
-
Megaman on the Tandy.
-
combat and pitfall for the atari, damn, those were the days
-
Oooh. Paperboy. Hours of entertainment, right there.
-
combat and pitfall for the atari, damn, those were the days
I had two ataris and played pitfall all the time. That and Star Wars, drag racing (always blew my motor), and boxing.
-
oooh, that boxing game was tits. i would play pitfall for hours though, that game had me soo hooked
-
Altered Beast, on Sega.
DAMN...my brother and I never beat it, either...
Have you played the arcade-stand-up-type version of Altered Beast? HELL OF awesome, right there.
Oooh. Paperboy. Hours of entertainment, right there.
win.
-
The first game I actually played would've been Alex The Kidd.
We briefly borrowed a master system and it was in built.. So yeah.
The first game I really played, seeing as I actually owned it and didnt have to return it or anything was Super Mario/Duckhunt on the same cart.
Was awesome.
-
First video game I played was Pong, on the original Atari. Yes, I am that old.
First computer game I played was some space invasion game that didn't actually take place in space. Basically, Earth and some alien planet were at war, and all the action took place on one of the two planets. Can't remember offhand what the name of the game was.
-
I remember that my brother had something that I believe was a nes and he had the ground pad. It looked like something between twister and DDR and it attached to the system. You had to jump up and down and in different directions to play. I think their were alligators and I think their was also track and field. I have to admit that I can only barely remember a screen with alligators on it, and i am not sure if i was playing. I know that the first game i remember playing was either that stupid space invaders game on the gameboy or super nintendo with the whole mario bros set.
-
super nintendo with the whole mario bros set.
Super Mario All-Stars is the shit.
-
It was Frog Bog.
Thank you, Crave (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellivision_Lives%21).

I've been playing video games from since before I can remember (which, to be fair, isn't that far back). The first game I remember playing and having a real impression on my is FF2 (okay, FF4, but at the time it was FF2). I always watched RGPs being played, but I never played them myself, so actually playing it was memorable. It also turned me on to RPGs. (Then, not too long after, I played Lunar, the orignial Sega CD version, and I was sucked in! I couldn't fight it)
-
The first game I ever played was that classic game with the little spheres on the board, and you're supposed to make 5 in a line etc. (I've forgotten the game's name :oops:)
But the first real 3-D game is Tomb Raider 2 (which I still love to this day very much).
-
Donkey Kong Country. It was a good start to a neverending addiction.
-
Hey, speaking of Final Fantasy, I just got a ROM for my SNES emulator called "Final Fantasy - Mystic Quest."
Is this actually the first FF game, or just something completely different with a similar name?
EDIT: To keep things semi-on topic, another early one was Duck Hunt.
-
Wow, I am seeing alot of Duck Hunt and Mario Bros! I remember way back when my babysitter had that. Also, I saw that Mystic Quest thing back when I was a ROM fanatic. I am under the impression that it is something completely different because... well... it was completely different from the other FF's I remember. I got through the first forest type place and got bored.
-
Gonna have to join the old-skool lineup and say pong. Not the bright yellow coin-op stand up, but a home console. It had about 6 versions of pong on it, and it was fun. Then my parents got a 2600, and that was it. Goodbye sunshine, hello video games.
-
Super Mario Brothers, on my grandmother's NES. I was but a wee lad of 3.
-
first game i can remember playing was Zelda: a link to the past
-
The first video game I played was some kind of hockey game on NES.
It was at a friend's house and I sucked. But that set into motion the chain of events that led to me pestering my parents into letting me get a Nintendo.
-
Seriously though mine was PROBABLY Sonic The Hedgehog 2.
Heck yea!! Reading the thread until now made me think that I was the only other Sega lover out there.
-
The genesis was my first console other than a compy with dos. It came with Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Taz: Escape From Mars.
-
Wow, as opposed to many here this whole thread is making me feel really young... my first video game was Zelda: Ocarina of Time,and I was like 7. From there I back tracked to SNES and NES. Now I'm a Zelda addict, and such a Nintendo fangirl, lol.
-
Hm, hard question.... I know the consol was an Atari ST. This thing fucking rocked... Just too much fun. ^_^
First few games: Boston Bomb Club, Indiana Jones, Hudson Hawk! I have to find one of these on ebay or something. I think i would drown in my reminissing.
-
Atari 2700: Pac-Man with its clunky audio. Space invaders where the last alien didn't really move that fast.
Nintendo: Super Mario Bros. Gradius. (Up-up-down-down-left-right-left-right-B+A-start saved my sanity.)

-
The original Commander Keen up until they released Keen Dreams I was addicted to those games as a kid. Also Space Quest was another one of the first I remeber.
-
EVER?
I dunno. It was a racing game on my parents' Atari VCS. That's the 2600 before they called it 2600, for you whippersnappers.
The first that I can remember playing avidly was "Castle Adventure" at the age of 6. It was an ascii-art adventure game where you were locked in a castle with demons, ogres, giant spiders and the like and had to find out how to get home. It took me months to figure it out... and I never did win the second way. You would also win if you got EVERY SINGLE piece of treasure and put it all in one room. Anyone remember that one?
-
Tetris, I remember it like it was yesterday...
i was only 6 and my brother made a deal that if i could make 30 lines in tetris on the NES (in just 5 attempts), then he'd give me his gameboy.
he still says it was the biggest mistake he ever made. :-D
-
I'm not sure which is literally the first. The earliest I can think of is Wizard of Wor, but I'm pretty sure I've played other games before that even. That was at a friend's house on his Atari, but I'm guessing the first videogame I ever played was in Korea at an arcade, so maybe Space Invaders.
The first Nintendo game I ever played?
Metal Gear
