    Default The First Game You Ever Played (Or Remember Playing)

    Simple. Post the first game you ever played (or first that you can remember), and give a brief description of the experience, if possible.

    Sorry if there's already a thread like this.
    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Anyway, The first game I ever played was Sonic 2 on Genesis when I was 2 years old. I beat it when I was 3. No joke.

    My earliest memory of a game has to be playing Donkey Kong Country on the SNES when I was 4. I loved that game, and still do.

    This, but instead of Sonic 2, it was Sonic 1.
    I was such a bad player back then.

    Mine was Goof Troop on the SNES. I was 3 when my dad bought the game. He and my cousin were playing the game and my cousin kept dying. I grabbed the controller and kicked everything's ass on the screen. My dad said, "Hey nice job Jared!", and Jared was like,"That was Aaron, not me." My dad looks and me and says, "WTF?!" Was very funny.


    "I got my head checked, by a jumbo jet." Now my dreams and hopes have all came crashing down.

    Not entirely sure which the actual first game was, but it was either Super Mario Bros. or Legend of Zelda for the NES when I was 3.

    Mortal Kombat II for the SNES. I remember I got to fight Noob Saibot and my mom tripped over the power cord and unplugged the system... I don't think I ever recovered from that heartbreak.

    The original Sonic the Hedgehog, I think.

    Good times. The MegaDrive belonged to my brother, and he routinely denied me access to the MegaDrive. Following which I would routinely run to mum crying and get to play. Good times...

    I'm not really sure, my best bet would have to be Super Mario Bros for the NES.

    Sonic 2, me and my ma used to play, I reckon I was about 4. I was deadly at it then, shit at it now.

    Don' worry, it won't hurt... that much!

    I really don't know. There are a couple I remember, but not the time frames. Battle Chess for DOS was one, along with the Eagle Eyes series of mystery games (point-and-click adventure games). On the flip side, we occasionally went out to a Korean restaurant where my mother could kibbitz with everyone, and I usually ended up in the other room with the older son of one of the other families there, and that was where I first found Final Fantasy 3 for the SNES. So, it would have been one of those.

    Nyo~ron.

    I think it's Mrs. Pacman. I can't even remember it could be anything from back then. I do know it wasn't for the SNES because I got that when I was like 4 or 5 so I know I played games before that. I'm either going with Mrs. Pacman, Galaga, or Pitfall. The more I think about the more my head hurts.
