Escape the Womb. It's a classic.

Awesome! I heard the ending involves a fight with an umbilical cord. Is that true?

It nearly choked me out. It was a tough fight but I got out of there alive. The last boss was impossible. He just grabs you and slaps you around. I cried.

it could have been many things.
I think it had to be one of these few:
Pokemon: yellow version
Super Punch Out!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (something here)
one of the super mario things that i cant remember the name of at the moment.

Console: Jurassic Park or Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (Sega Genesis)
Computer: Secret Agent (I would play this at my grandfather's house with my sister and cousins)

I can't exactly which one, but I know it was either Age of Empires(the original), BurgerTime for the Intellivision or Super Mario Bros for the NES.

Pokemon: Blue for the Game Boy Color was the first game I owned/played, but Mega Man Battle Network 3: Blue was the first game that I actually picked out. Must have a thing for blue.

Pong circa 1979 on some nameless console that had 4 games on it, played on a b/w tv.

Glad to see I'm far from being the only old coot around here :tongue:

Uhhh, likely Frogger for the Atari waaay back in the day. Somewhere around 1985? I was 3 or 4 I imagine.

Super Smash Brothers 64.

I've been playing games for at least 20 years, and I'm only 22. I have absolutely no idea what the first game I played was. I'm going to assume that it was Super Mario Bros. because I do know I played it a lot at a very young age. Thinking about this is kind of funny though. I can't believe I've been doing something that long, you know, other than breathing, eating, and things of that sort.

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

Beat you, has played pong on one of this consoles who was before Atari. It was without cartridges with wooden details, selected game with an swithc. Probably the same time as you so my friend parents might have gotten it cheap.

Wolfenstein 3D for the Mac.

We had a police officer come in one day during Junior Kindergarden and he reminded me of a Nazi from Wolfenstein, and I told him that my dad kills guys like him with a machine gun..in front of the whole class.

Needless to say, my dad received a phone call after that.

Someone gave me an audio casette with a bunch of games when I got my first spectrum, so my first must be one of these, depends which one loaded without tape loading error :hehe:

Chuckie Egg, Nigel Mansell's Grand Prix, Herbert's Dummy Run, Manic Miner, Dan Dare, Eagle Nest, Raid Over Moscow...

That I owned? Die Hard Trilogy on the PSX.

fond memories of that one. I probably played that more than any other psx game. mainly the first game, ascending Nakatomi Tower, mowing down Hans' crew with an mp5, throwing flashbangs, saving hostages (sometimes).

hmm, maybe Combat on the Atari 2600 circa 1977-78

» Thu May 03, 2012 2:02 am

The earliest I can remember is some pinball game, some racing game and Prince of Persia.

I can't remember my first game, but my first obsessin with a game came with Warcraft 2. I played that one to death, until I couldn't stand it any more. To this day I can't bear to look at it properly. Lesson learned: all things in moderation, especially things you enjoy.

The first game I remember playing was Asteroids on the Atari 2600 when I was about four.

» Wed May 02, 2012 8:48 pm

Doom.

I was too young to remember my first game, but it would have been something on the Commodore 64 in the early 80s -- I remember playing Ultima 2, Staff of Karnath, Ghost Busters, Joust, Paper Boy, and some game where you're a plumber and you're placing pipes between houses. Oh and there was a game I thought was called Barbarian, but when I watched a couple videos on youtube it shows you fighting in an arena, and that's not it. The game I remember was a side scroller.

Anyway those weren't the "good old days" lol.
