Your first game

[Chie]

So, what was the first game you ever played?
I watched my brother play a few games on a snes when I was little, but I never got to play it.

My first time playing a game was Crash Bandicoot 2, played it for about fifteen minutes on an itty bitty cruise ship.

How about you?

Mousetrap - Intellivision.

I think Metal Slug in an arcade, fell in love with games then but wasn't years later till I had a platform to actually play games on.

First game I ever actually owned and also the first I ever finished was The Secret of Monkey Island on PC.

Thats a hell of a question for someone my age (35) to remember, but uhh I think the first game I remember playing was "Freeway" on Atari. Then like Pac Man, Centipede, Millipede, Zaxon...Holy shit I could go on...and I will. Yars Revenge, Mighty Bomb Jack. The first epic game I ever experienced in the arcade was Kung Fu (Legend) which is by no means epic by todays standards. "Gladiator" which still rocks, and "Kid Niki" were pretty epic for their time. "Star Wars" (arcade booth) w/ the shitty wire frame graphics was epic in the early 80's. "Cross Bow", remember that peice of shit game..? "Rastan"..still epic till this day. Anyone remember "Solvalou"..? Street Fighter 2's first release..and MK 1's release for that matter. Fucking epic times...

Either Mission X or Beauty and the Beast (both Intellivision).

Seems to me my first game, played @ home, was Super Mario Bros/Duck Hunt on NES. Though I had play some of those Atari & Intellivision games on said systems, but I played them a little later. Still fun to play! (though now I found out Zappers don't work on LCD TVs. )

As far as I can remember mine was SMB/Duck Hunt combo on the NES when I was about 3-4 years old, along with Rampage and Akari Warriors. The first that I actually really got into console wise though was when I got the Donkey Kong Country SNES bundle a few years later, the first game I remember playing with any sort of obvious story line and significant amount of in-game text and dialog.

That explains why my friend and I were having so much trouble playing...I thought my zappers were shot...bummer

OT, I think the first game I played was Super Mario Bros, and a few others for Nintendo before my dad bought an Atari for himself and I started playing that all the time. Then I was playing pac-man and frogger

Duck Hunt on Nes

Some boxing game on Intellivision. I was probably 2 at the time so I don't remember much about it except the controller sucked (no surprise).

Dino Crisis and Sonic the Hedgehog.

Either Donkey Kong Country or Super Mario World on the Snes. Gifts for my older sister on her birthday and hidden in a boot and the fridge respectively. She didn't want to let me play... selfish girl.

[foggy_han]

Pac-Mania and Sonic the Hedgehog 1991 both on the Mega Drive... in 1992.

Made me the Sonic Fan I am today though. I regret nothing~.
