Hmmm.....as far as I can remember, it was either Sonic The Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe (all on Megadrive) or Mario Land (on Gameboy). I've been playing games as long as I can remember (since about 4 or 5 i think)

The very first game I played, was on the very first console I had, the Vectrex made by Milton Bradley. The game was the default game in it's internal memory, Minestorm. Simple idea, 1 fighter, blowing up mines as they approached your ship. Each level got progressivley harder, what with homing mines, mines which fire at you. Everytime you destroyed one mine, it burst into two smaller ones. destroy one of them and it split into two even smaller ones. Destroy them then, and they're gone, but it was a hectic paced game.

Thing is, even now, I still have this machine and yes, it's still in good working order too.

Either Tetris or Super Mario Land for the Gameboy. I forget which one I took the most interest in on Christmas Day all those years ago. :)

Zork!

I didn't play it much, but yeah that was probably my first game... if you could consider it a game.

Then tons and tons of Atari 2600 Games... can't remember which one I played first.

Smurfs on the Colecovision. One of the all time worst games ever made, but it's fun when your four years old. Sometimes I still play it just for the warm fuzzy memories.

The farthest back I can remember is Invasion for the Odyssey.

It was super mario (land?) for the super nintendo. I remember playing that all the time, never beat it either, got to bowser and never could win back then.

Super Mario Land - Gameboy
Super Mario Bros. - NES and beyond

I really have no idea what my very first game was but I think it was probably MetroidII for Gameboy, Super Mario for Gameboy, Super Mario for nintendo or Metal Gear Solid for Nintendo. I got an Atari when SNES came out though so it wasn't any of those.

I think it was some Atari 2600 game, can't remember which one though.

My first game was Master Blaster for the NES, a boy in search of his mutated pet frog. Little action platformer in a rover-esque tank. Along with that there was the obvious Tetris and also Paper-boy. A myriad of games followed and RPG's grew to dominate my gaming life.

Super Mario Bros. Nintendo and GB.

I think the first game I played was Invaders...FROM SPACE.

Oh yeah, I definitely played Space Invanders on my old Atari 2600. That I remember. But then there was Pac-Man, Ms.Pac-Man, Kangaroo...So I can't really which one came first.

Police Quest on the PC.
OH YEAH.

Mine was Sonic The Hedgehog and Toejam & Earl on Mega Drive...I loved thsoe games (Toejam & Earl abit more than Sonic, but Sonic was still cool)

My first game was Boogerman and Shinobi 2 on the SEGA. Those games were really fun and I wish I still had my old genesis and these games.

I missed out on the 2600. My family didn't get a system until Nintendo in 87, and before that, most everything I played was in an arcade or with my cousin. He had a famicom in 85 or 86 when I had my first go at Mario and ice climber and the older games, but even before that he had a very sweet Tabletop Space Invaders unit. I don't remember if I had made it to a chuck e cheese or something before I played that. My first game may have actually been whatever that old racing game from the early 80s was. I'm kicking myself now for not remembering =\ I'd love to have that(space invaders unit) now. I have no idea how he ended up with it. Probably related to being very spoiled.


Police Quest on the PC.

That's a pretty odd one to start with.

My sister had a NES and me and my niece used to play Pac Man (not the Arcade one) on it.

The first game I ever owned was Super Mario World and Super Mario All-Stars. They both came with my SNES.

First game I played was Mario Cart 64.
First game I owned?
I got all three at the same time:
Frogger
Star Wars: Masters of Taras Kasi
Need for Speed 3.

Pong, Berserker and Tank. some old as hell Atari system. Don't remember if it was 2600 or what, though.

My first game was E.T for atari. And I still have in my closet, somewhere.........

it was either Super Mario Brothers World SNES or Sonic the Hedgehog on Gamegear

I cant really remember my first game ever played, but it would most probly be something like pacman on the commodore 64 or probly a really cool game called Green Berret its phat or even california games. hey im not that old.

My first game was a Sega Genesis one. It was actually a 6 pack, 6 games in one. So I got Sonic the Hedgehog, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe, Columns, Super Hang-On, and Revenge of Shinobi.

hmm first game ever....thinking thinking thinking! HAH I remember it was Super Mario Bros (The first that came with Duck hunt!) for the good ol' NES!

My first game was Super Mario Brothers on NES. I though it was difficult back in the day (played it when I was around 9-10), had a lot of fun with it though. :)

hmm first game ever....thinking thinking thinking! HAH I remember it was Super Mario Bros (The first that came with Duck hunt!) for the good ol' NES!

Same as me...

and if we are talking about the very first videogame played by us, In my case that would be the arcade version of Outrun... man, I sure miss those days...

i remember mine like it was yesterday.

it was my 6th birthday. i got a nintendo with mario bros/duck hunt. that was my first game evar! fun times. :D

Super Mario Land.

Mario bros/duck hunt or Super Mario 2 on gameboy. Cant really remember. Oh fun times :D I still play with my old GameBoy if ive got nothing else to do (mostly when im in a long trip in car etc)

Ignore post.

Mario Bros./Duck Hunt for the NES.

It's hard to say SMB/DH because they came with the system, however the first game purchased after the original Nintendo would be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - which I sware is one of the hardest games ever.

Choplifter / Impossible misson.

Got it with my Atari 2800 <3~

Breath of Fire for the SNES.

First I played:
Super Mario Bros. -NES

First I owned:
Donkey Kong Country 3 -SNES

Mega lo Mania for my Commodore 64 was probably one of the first games I owned

I don't know what I played first, my Sega or my Atari... one or the other because I grew up with both of them. I can't really pick the exact game that game first either. I played Blue Print alot on Atari and then everything else on Sega...

Mortal Kombat.
Golden Axe.
Streets if Rage.
Zombies Ate My Neighbors.
Columns.
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers.
too much Sonic too remember...
all those cute Disney game; The Lion King. The Jungle Book. etc

Goro (or whatever the fuck his name was) in Mortal Kombat got his face owned when I was 5 and Power Rangers was on farm status... hehe

My first game ever, was on some crappy computer running at like 10mhz!

It was Mother Goose. It took 13 something old fairytales, and each little tale had an important item mixed up with another tale. So your job was to make all the tales right again, by taking one item and bring it back to it's rightfull place.

I spend alot of hours with this game, specially because I couldn't understand English aswell back then as I can now.

Super Mario World for the SNES. I've always loved that game.

Mario Bros./Duck Hunt for the NES.

Double Dragon, The Adventures of Bayou Billy, SMB 3 or Pinball Quest...one of those gems.

i would imagine it was the first Mario for the NES.

makes me want to play it again, just thinking about it :(

the power of nostalgia.

Oh my god.

No way.

Seriously, in 1st Grade we had this game on 1 out of the 15 computers in the room and I always wanted to play it.
I got like a 20 minute go at it before the other kids were bitching.
I loved that game.

I never knew anyone else had ever played it.

SKATE ROCK for my father's commodore 64.

Second was probably Mario/Duck Hunt for the original NES.

mario bros. - NES!

Tetris - Gameboy

Crash Bandicoot on the PS

Now that i recalled it, my first game was probably Duck Tales on the Snes

first game duck hunt

first RPG chrono trigger

Sonic the Hedgehog 2 was the first game I owned. The first game i played was on the Snes and I can't remember because I was about 3 years old.

Burger Time or Donkey Kong. I forget.

For that Mattel system.

First game I played was Megaman 3 for the NES, but the first game I owned was Sonic the hedgehog 2.

Capitan america Super nintendo

'Dread Dragon Droom'.

It was a sort of edutainment game that I played on a BBC Micro at my primary school. I was so young that I barely remember anything about it. The first game I played on a computer that I owned was a game called 'Pedro' on my 48K Sinclair Spectrum.

That is unless you count 'Zip Zap' which I tried to load first, but didn't work! :D

I'm no longer sure, I think it was Rampage (arcade) but it might be a different arcade game or one of the game and watches, I don't remember too well

I really have no idea. My family was really into video gaming, so we had a lot of PC games - mostly educational stuff. We had a Nintendo, but I don't remember playing it. So my first exposure to consoles was either Sega Genesis or Super Nintendo. I played a lot of SNES because my other relatives each had one, too. But my first video game was probably an educational PC game.

Y'all realize this was a necro-bumped thread, right?

Oh well, my first game was Super Mario Land 2 for the brick Gameboy. I was 2.

This seems as good a time as any to ask this - I never really understood the stigma surrounding Thread Necromancy.

I get that some moderators don't like it, and if so then I'm fine playing by the house rules. Its just that I never saw the problem with it - I mean, so what if you answer to a very old thread? Who cares? How exactly is it hurting anyone?

I personally hate thread necromancy... Instead of reviving a dead thread and continuing something a member (who more than likely no longer comes to the forum now), creating a new thread allows for new conversations regarding a similar topic to the original. I admit I've been away longer than I thought, otherwise I would've closed this thread... but for now, I'll allow it to stay open.

Also, the majority of thread necromancy is by new members, solely for boosting their post count so they can have access to PM privileges... and their responses are in general rather inane, nonsensical and aren't on topic.

If I remember right, Spy Hunter (Arcade). I think that was before Number Munchers (Apple II). First console game was probably Super Mario Brothers/Duck Hunt.

My first one was Super Mario 64 - not a bad start, huh?

lol Now since it's on the first page, why not?

Mine was Super Mario World on SNES.
