Avoozl Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Mine would have to have been Super Mario Land which came with a transparent Gameboy Pocket which I got for Christmas when I was somewhere between 7 to 9 years old. I loved the series of games which came after with Super Mario Land 2 to Wario Land and its own three sequels. Super Mario Land/Wario Land was pretty much a staple game series to me while growing up.

Doom_Dude Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Pong. Bro used to repair electronic shit back in the day and he had a pong console. So we played the hell out of that. 2 Share this post Link to post
129thVisplane Posted December 21, 2017 Either Wolfenstein 3D, Jazz Jackrabbit, or Doom. Neither of my parents remember anymore and I was not even 3 years old back then so I don't remember either. 2 Share this post Link to post
ETTiNGRiNDER Posted December 21, 2017 I don't actually know the title of the very first game I played. It was something on the Atari 2600, and as I recall you played as a white knight going around different top-down rooms on a green background, where I quickly encountered and was killed by a black knight. The obvious game for what I recall the style of it being would be Adventure, but unless my memory's really warped I don't think that was it since my recollection is that the player sprite had actual details, not just a box, and the black enemy was another knight, like a color swap of the player sprite, and the background of the starting areas at least was green. I remember the second one more clearly and that was Wizards & Warriors on the NES. My big bro and his friend were playing it and couldn't get past the bat boss, so they thought it would be hilarious to hand me the controller when I wandered in to see what they were up to. Much to their amazement I beat the boss through pretty much dumb button mashing. They wanted me to keep going after that but on the next level I fell into the lava and couldn't figure out how to get back out. 0 Share this post Link to post
Nems Posted December 21, 2017 The original Super Mario Bros. on the NES. I used to be so good at it that I had schoolmates call me for help on it. 0 Share this post Link to post

Da Werecat Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) I think it was Pac-Man. I was very little and my parents took me to work for some reason, and sat me before the computer to give me something to do. Launched Pac-Man for me. I don't remember if it was that time or one of the others when I (accidentally?) exited the game and wandered around in what was probably Norton Commander, stumbling onto other games. I remember one of them being Lost Vikings (couldn't understand how to progress), and another one being Doom. I managed to figure out how to shoot, but not how to open doors, so I was stuck at the beginning. But since it was E1M1 there was still plenty to look at. And thus my mind was corrupted. 0 Share this post Link to post
tourniquet Posted December 21, 2017 Born a few years before the demise of the socialistc and soviet controlled part of germany video games weren't a thing and i was probably too young anyways. But those machines still existed a while after the fall of the berlin wall and were my first glimpse of video games before the market got flooded by all the other fancy western stuff 0 Share this post Link to post
Memfis Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) I was too young to remember. Possibly it was the MS-DOS port of Golden Axe, which me with my brother managed to beat only many years later. We felt so badass... It was a great coop game. 0 Share this post Link to post

Dexiaz Posted December 21, 2017 3 minutes ago, Cynical said: The Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt double-cartridge on the NES. Same here. Except one thing - I've played those games on different cartridges but at the same day :) 0 Share this post Link to post
antares031 Posted December 21, 2017 Wolfenstein 3D. I will never forget the moment that I found a folder called "WOLF3D" inside of that 386 computer. Honorable mention goes to the game, which was located inside the folder "4F". It was a side-scroller, and I stamped on black snakes or something. 0 Share this post Link to post
seed Posted December 21, 2017 Good question. I remember the first games I ever played but I'm having a hard time figuring out which one was the actual #1. I think it was either a Super Mario game or Contra 6 on a NES. On PC it's much easier to figure out since I only had a few games, the first one I played on one being Supaplex, followed by Death Rally, Network Q RAC Rally Championship, Doom II, and 1-2 more I can't remember. 0 Share this post Link to post
SGS Man Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Hmm, if I recall correctly, the first game I played was either Zoo Tycoon 2, Wolfenstein 3D, or Rise of Nations. All pretty good tbh... 0 Share this post Link to post

roadworx Posted December 21, 2017 earliest i can remember was alphabonk farm. looking back at it, the game really sucked, but i loved it back then. 0 Share this post Link to post
Bauul Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) The first game I ever saw was probably one of the Dizzy the Egg titles on a friend's Commodore 64. But the first game I ever owned and played was Toki on the Amiga. Still one of the best chiptune soundtracks ever, especially this first track. 1 Share this post Link to post
