The first one that really stood out to me was Cool Spot on the SNES back in 1994ish... I think it was the first game I completed...

That would've been Pong back around 78-79, on an ATARI 2600.

Super Mario Bros, it was released in '85 I believe but it was the first game I played in about '91 when I was 4. The girl next door had it and I played it round there

93 Model here and games have been around me since I was born. If I said I remembered the first game I saw or played I'd be lying as no one remembers thing from such an early stage in their youth. However the first game I owned would be the Disney Hercules game released in 1997 for the PS1 when I was 4 years old.

The first game I owned was Super Mario 64.

Same here (edit: except for the Atari 2600 bit.) A lad up our street had a Pong machine in the mid-late '70s (haven't a clue as to the exact year) that his parents let him fire up occasionally; he was rationed because they didn't want it burning into the TV.

I hated it.

I can't remember, it was likely something for the NES back in the mid 90's. Maybe Super Mario Bros or Battletoads, I can't say for sure I was probably about 4 at the time of my first game.

Difficult to tell. Maybe the first Commander Keen, or the first Prince of Persia, Captain Comic, The Incredible Machine, Cartooners... I played games that were many years old when I started playing them at the age of 8 or so, so I'm not sure which one came first for me.

there's no way for me to remember that hahah, i played a lot of games and games and computers have been around me since i was born

Most likely one of those shareware games for the PC in 1990-91. It's hard for me to remember a specific game since I've played so many growing up, but I didn't get my first console until after that.

pretty sure it was Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt. I was about 5 I think and got the NES on Christmas.

No idea

Super Mario All Stars for SNES around 1995. It included Mario Bros 1, The Lost Levels, 2 and 3. At the same time I got Donkey Kong Country but I played it only after finished Mario.

Christ... I remember playing Sonic on a Sega Saturn - can't have been older than three; that and Sensible Soccer with Dad.

Defender on a Sinclair spectrum back in the early 80's.

My very first game? I don't remember.

My very first game that has impacted me in a significant way that I do remember?

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

A norwegian game called "romjakten" it was back in 2001 or 2002 I think.

» Wed May 02, 2012 7:44 pm

I honestly can't remember. I got a Commodore 64 with a whole bunch of games from my cousin when i was a kid, so one of those. Modern flash games are more complex and pretty than what EA and Activision did back then :lmao:

» Wed May 02, 2012 7:16 pm

Not counting Pong on a quarter machine, it would have been on my Intellivsion console around '79 or '80. I haven't a clue what game it was.

Maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pole_Position_(video_game), maybe http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asteroids_(video_game) or maybe a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snake_(video_game) back in 1983.
