First game you remember played

did you guys remember the first game you ever played? i probably don't, but the oldest memory i have about was playing pac man world in my 3th or 4th birthday

Arcade Galaga machine in a laundromat.

Thexder '95. It was weird, violent, and honestly not a very good game, but I had a lot of fun.

>>6293 this bad boy right here

Alex Kidd in Miracle World on my uncle's Sega Master System II. My uncle was constantly high at the time (that was a long time ago, he wasn't even 18 by that point) and he can't remember any of it so as I grew up I didn't even know what game I'd been playing, he never told me and I couldn't read. Eventually when I started using the Internet 10 years later I did some research and it was definitely Alex Kidd. It's a completely dream-like memory and I can't remember any of the details of the game, but I remember it being built into the Master System and the colours being incredibly vivid. This was a few years before he got a SNES and then I eventually got a Game Boy Color. I don't really play video games anymore but if I had to choose a console it would have to be of that third or fourth generation.

First was best - Commander Keen on DOS.

It was River Raid. Still a great game.

Besides some shareware games on DOS. I played a lot to Rick Dangerous, I think it was the first game I played at this time.

>>6302 Remember that canceled attempt at a revival game for the DS?

My earliest memory, not just earliest memory of a game, was seeing Halo 2's lockout map, specifically in the green hall with the shotgun spawn. Strangely, I've always remembered being able to dual wield the shotgun there, though obviously you cant.

>>6293 First game I remember. Probably not the best first time game for a kid.

Some educational games like Reader Rabbit. Not sure exactly. My first proper game was Rayman 2 which I'm still a huge fan of til this day. My dad thought the game was bugged because Rayman had no limbs.

Honestly think it might have been Pong... either that or one of those two player games that are like a table, you sit on either end and put quarters in and I forget the actual game come to think of it. It was in the canteen upstairs from the swimming pool in the neighbourhood.

Some Lode Runner game with a level editor on Win 95 or 98.

Barring random edutainment DOS games, I think it was Toy Story on the SNES. Was about 3 when I got it. But I never beat it, I would always play the first level over and over because the second had a time limit and I was too afraid to even try. By the time I stopped fearing failure so much, our SNES got stolen. If anyone asks me non-anonymously though, I usually just say Pokemon or Final Fantasy Legend or some other game from when I was 6. Less embarrassing than some licensed game (even if it was a decent one by Traveller's Tales).

Prince of persia, i dont know if it was 4d but i do know it was on dos. I have a downloaded rom of it but i havent gotten to play it yet, wonder if i get flashbacks.

Probably something like Bandicoot or Jak. I remember playing this when I was a kid and spending hours trying to get past the first shadow monster guy when he goes to drag that chick into the shadow realm. My prerogative was to escape the blast that turned you to stone when he took her, so I spent hours until I finally timed it perfectly and jumped out the window and escaped petrification- but it was still game over anyway. I later found out years later that to stop the petrifying explosion and proceed you needed to save her from the shadow and the other 95% of the game was an escort quest for the same chick. Even at a young age I knew not to waste time on hoes and tricks. Brought that soykaf back to blockbuster the next day.

Probably Simtower. But possibly the original Simcity.

>>6293 i was around 3 y.o., and the game was mario bros (famicom); but hey, i only had that game for years until i found a place to buy carts, so it makes sense i remember that mario game

>>6363 I loved Simtower, so easy to waste hours building the ultimate skyscraper. I'm not sure if this was my first but this is the oldest memory that comes to mind.

Alley cat when I was like 2 years old.

>>6433 Hory shet I have just seen a ghost... we had that one at our house.

>>6293 I remember wondering around on zelda at a very young age. There's video footage of me playing around with a nintendo controller on mario at an even younger age.

It depends on what your definition of a video game is. My first video game that fits most people's definition of a video game was Cruisin' USA on an arcade machine that was at a local cafe, but before that I cut my teeth on Tetris using picrelated, and I'm not sure if that counts since it's not using a proper video game screen despite being able to play a bootleg version of Tetris.

Mariot Kart 64 at my neighbor's house

>>6293 I want to say it was either Bugdom, Sonic 2 on Sega Genesis, or one of those weird plug-n-play golden tee games with the white cueball in the middle.

>>6446 similar... earliest i remember is the lickitung minigame from pokemon stadium. first time ever seeing a videogame in my next door neighbor's basement

The adventures of Microman, I think

i think my first game ever was one of the "brick game" games, but if i try to remember pc games then it would be GTA:VC, sega genesis emulator games and PvZ

>>6293 I remember playing Angry Birds on my grandfather's iPad a long time ago, sometimes they didn't want to give me their iPad so when I asked if I could play Angry Birds they would say there are no angry birds over here, only lovely birds, I don't know exactly what they were referencing.

probably pokemon blue on my brothers gameboy color. i would name my character ass as a pun on ash. i also seem to remember some educational game on the computer in preschool

>>6549 >>6293 I loved watching pokemon on TV so i got a gameboy color and pokemon silver for Christmas of 2000

I remember playing duck hunt on an old console, can't recall it's name. The control was bazooka-shaped which always stroke me as weird. I think the console also had some sort of dancing game with a mat.

no, i grew up online. some notable mentions pokemon gold, N (ninja), Portal the Flash version

i remember playing spiderman 2 on the gamecube, plus some other gamecube games. I also vividly remember one of my first mobile games being Galaxy On Fire. That game, and it's sequel, rocks. GOF 3 though was just a cash grab.

>>6293 Tetris on the original Game Boy was the first time I really was show what a video game was. Then I played the soykaf out of Mortal Kombat clone called Killer Instinct.

>>6293 Probably Prehistoric 2. I have deep nostalgia for all the DOS games.

>>6293 i vaguely remember playing some old Windows games when i was young, i cant quite remember which version of windows it was but it was one where you have to boot into it from dos and the games were in a folder called 'HD Games' i kinda remember one where ur a weird lil dude pushing boxes and another about running around shooting aliens

Not even joking lol. After this it would be a lot of DS titles, like Kirby: Squeak Squad, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass, Pokemon: Soul Silver, Kingdom Hearts 358 Days, etc.

Probably Half Life or Counter Strike: Source. CSS is probably responsible for my etternal love towards nightcore.

>>6293 There was some paint app, I think it was on C64 or perhaps it was its own plug and play game that I used to play with my sister on the TV. Aside from that it was Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country. I poured so many hours into those as a kid. It felt great when I finally beat King K. Rool. It wasn't until later that I would eventually get a Pico with Tails and the Music Maker and eventually a Genesis with 6-Pak including Sonic 1,

Looked it up and I actually found it! Video Painter from 1991, my first video game experience ever. I haven't seen this thing in ages, makes me happy I finally looked it up and found it.

one of the first games i know i played was super monkey ball deluxe for the ps2, altho it and a few other ps2 games were what i could have first played.

>>6293 I think first real games I played were the first Lego Star Wars game, Runescape (F2P), Star Wars BattleFront 1, Shrek 2 (on original Xbox), Pokemon Sapphire & pkmn FireRed, Halo: Wombat Evolved (it came with Xbox and I played it with my friends despite us being like 9 years old) & a couple of years later, pirated Halo: Custom Edition (it's Halo 1 but players can make custom content from starch or they can edit the stock maps (both SP and MP), weapons or other "tags" using Halo Editing Kit (if you are interested, check out the Lumoria campaign, CMT SPv1 & CMT SPv3, Super wacky funtime (which is actually just a soykafpost), Yoyorast Island, Extinction, Bigass and Firefight Descent/Firefight Descent: Quarantine)). Also, PS2 > Xbox imo. Much better controllers and build quality. For instance, the original Xbox used a capacitor for it's clock, instead of doing it properly and using a battery that can be replaced (what makes things even worse is the fact that it won't boot after the clock capacitor inevitably dies). I think some Original Xbox units also had issues with their disc drives because mine stopped working properly/reliably like 5 months after the warranty expired, whereas my PS2 slim still works).

I'm fairly sure my first game was super mario bros. for NES, but the one I actually remember for the first time was some hockey game on the NES. I had absolutely no idea what I was doing because I was like 2 or 3 but I remember thinking it was the coolest thing ever. And being generally obsessed with hockey around that time as a result. Slightly later than that, we had this 99-in-1 DOS game that you had to punch in a bunch of commands to start up and I had a ton of fun with that.

As an aside, this thread really shows how young some of the users here are. It is kind of sobering.

Father played this, used to sneak into his office and play when he left for work.

I don't exactly remember, but it was one of these five (1/2). Probably this first post, since I think the others came out later.

I remember playing Super Mario bros and asking my mom to help me during the hard parts. Good memories.

>>6571 Maybe you played Pushy? Original is from `97 i think, its a german game. >>6444 Haha my grandma had one of these, but in grey and with tetris only. Should be the second "video game" i ever played. The first one was a dos style point and click game, i played at a friend of my fathers computer. I just remember there was a room with water in the background which i think cacsaded from the walls and there were planetlike shapes on stales in it. I opnce found out what it was but i forgot it again. Will contribute when i find out, im on a journey to find out now. Also remembering playing Löwenzahn(must be the third).

i played space invaders. It was a good time.

has to be one of these 3, they were on the family PC, it was 2009 so it was all pirated.

>>6645 sry, typo iraq in 2009*

Cruis'n USA in a grocery store arcade.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ozJohExlQ8 What a humble beginning. This game is only about an hour long.

probably between these two, that and ocarina of time. >>6293

Captain Comic on DOS, I think. Also may have been QBasic Gorillas or Nibbles.

Gorilla in MS-DOS 3.1, in black and white, no less

Snake on my mother's Nokia 3310

the first i ever played was either super mario bros or super mario bros 2 im not sure or duckhunt i cant remember

>>6654 You and I are the same.

Midtown Madness on my dad's compaq

It was this football (american) game on a really old computer, probably running windows 2000 or something, one of the old versions of windows. I honestly can't even remember. You had to load the game into a cartridge too. I would really like to find the exact game again but don't have enough clues. It probably was thrown out a long time ago. I just did a quick search because this got me interested, I think it could've been backyard football but it still doesn't seem exactly correct... hm

I think that it was sonic 1 for master system

It was either Super Mario World, or Mortal Kombat II, both on snes. Both feel appropriate for 5 year olds, right?

Playing this is actually my first memory period. My father spent an hour earning a lot of lives and then handed me the controller because he had to go to work. Apparently I plunged off the cliff and lost them all, but then I was hooked on the game.

>>6654 Had a lot of fun on Road Rash younger. Memories of first games ? Jazzball and the solitaire card game on Windows 95 or 98.

>>6893 This is gonna sound trippy, but your fake Sega Genesis seems to be, in fact, an NES-on-a-chip, seeing as it's playing the bootleg NES demake of Sonic The Hedgehog that has Spring Yard as the first level. So, you're playing a bootleg demake of the original console's flagship game on a bootleg console that has the same hardware as the console that the original is trying to rival.

>>6293 It was either Space Pinball, Purble Place, or Sonic Classic Collection for the DS. I forgot.

>>6293 >did you guys remember the first game you ever played? Tomb Raider. My friend was rich and had a playstation. I remember they threw the controller at me, I took 2 steps and then dinosaurs appeared. Everyone in the room laughed at me getting scared and not knowing what to do. I came home and jumped around my room pretending to be Lara. fml if I was born 20 years later they'd be chopping off my dick about now

the first game i remember playing was sonic on the sega dreamcast and some weird rpg game i don't remember.

Space Impact on the Nokia 3310, probably. Good memories.

>>6293 elmo's number journey for the n64 that game was lit

Pretty sure it was this soykaf. Things happen on the screen when you press the buttons, but what those things are supposed to represent or what the controls are actually for is very unclear. I could not tell if I was winning or losing, but it seemed better than nothing.

>>6896 why would your friend chop off your dick if you were 20 years younger?

I have early memories of a lot of games, but I don't think I could order them chronologically. If I had to guess I'd say it would probably be playing starfox 64 at a demo kiosk at PC Richards. It's possible that it was super mario land for the game boy or DOS edutainment or shareware instead.

The oldest remarkable memory I have is the one of me fighting tiny tiger in Crash 3.

>did you guys remember the first game you ever played? In the late 1970s I remember buying Pong and playing it on my TV a little bit. In about 1980 I got a job at a telecommunications company which gave me access to some timesharing services. I played some of the bsdgame like StarTrek and Hunt the Wumpus on terminals. Original Adventure was my favorite. There was some free-to-play game called Orb of Zot on a BBS. It was just MS-Basic, so I downloaded it and added simple sound effects to it like frogs croaking and footsteps. Then a friend loaned me his Apple ][+ whilke he was out of town and I wore out a Wizardy floppy by playing it so much. When he took his Apple ][+ back, I went out and bought one so I could keep playing Wizardry. I've been hopelessly addicted to computers ever since.

>>7586 For me its my brother sperging cause he kept losing to some evil monkey dude in some racing mini game in crash bash. He kept screeching whyyyyyyyyyyyyyy when he the monkey guy kept winning

It was some snake game on a old keypad device probably Nokia.
