What was the first video game you ever played?

[Shining Raichu]

I just looked through the forum and couldn't find a similar thread, which surprised me. I'm sure it's existed at some point though lol

So, what was the first video game you ever played, and what gaming system was it on? How old were you when you were first introduced to the world of gaming? Share with us your earliest gaming anecdotes/memories :)

Please don't list the questions and give one word answers... it makes me want to cry lol

It has existed before because I have made one too, but a while back! :D

Anyway, this is always a tough one to try and remember, but I swear that it was the original Prince of Persia for the SNES. I remember it being so hard it was untrue but it was such a fun game and this .gif makes me nostalgia SO HARD.

However, I have no idea how old I was, considering this game came out in '89, the year I was born, it couldn't have been too far down the line when I played it. My parents had a SNES and I found it one day with PoP...​

Easy. Sonic the Hedgehog 1 for the Sega Genesis. I practically BEGGED my parents at the time for Genesis and game and after much badgering, I got it.

And it still works today.

 

[The Corrupt Plague]

Super Mario Kart for the Snes. I was five at the time I got it and I still have the same system and cartridge collection today. Fun times were definitely had.

 

[Seki]

PAC-MAN!!! Remembered playing it on the arcade since I was REALLY YOUNG. (can't remember the age though)
Or is it Mario, not sure though.

 

[cazzler]

My first game was Super Mario Land, fun game it was... I was about 3 - 4 When I played it on the Gameboy. I still remember vividly when I defeated the last boss. :')

 

[Machu Pichu]

Sonic the Hedgehog 3 for my Sega. Me and my bud would always play whenever he came over. He was always Sonic and I was Tails, because TAILS COULD FLY B)

And I've pretty much loved Sonic games ever since :D

 

[alisaie]

There was some computer games that I think I played when I was really little. However, the first video game that I remember playing would have to be Pokemon Silver version. Yes, I was a late comer, with it being my first game when I was like... eight. xD;

 

[TornZero]

Mine was the original Pong when I was about 2 years old, just because my dad loved classic games. It took forever to beat the computer, but it was oh, so rewarding.

 

[thedestinedblade]

I would like to think Super Mario Bros. for the NES, though I'm not for certain on that; could have been Paper Boy as well. Either way, I'm sure it was a game on the NES.

 

[Elite Overlord LeSabre™]

Super Mario Bros. for the NES. IIRC, I didn't get past world 1-3 during my first attempt :X And I played that at the house of someone we knew since we didn't have games in our own home at the time...

 

[Snow Phoenix]

Some early Mario game on the SNES. I remember very loosely that I played it with my dad when I was like 2-3 @3@ The game I played by myself was Pokemon Yellow though on the GBC :3

 

[TRIFORCE89]

I had Sesame Street: ABC/123, Blades of Steel, and Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt all at the same time.

I don't really remember which was the first I played. But, to keep my gamer cred I'm saying Mario and not Sesame Street

 

[metalheadtomboy]

My first game was either sonic adventure 2, elmo numbers/letters/ or turok for the 64.

 

[Shining Raichu]

I guess I should answer since it's my own thread lol

The first game I played was Super Mario All Stars on the SNES.

It came with the SNES I got for Christmas when I was 5 years old (I still remember opening it that morning, I was so excited) and I became the MASTER of that game. I think I played it until like 2003 when I got my GameCube and there was no longer room on the powerboard to have the SNES operating :P

 

[funrush]

My first game was Bob the Builder on PS1. I was super little so it was awesome at the time.

 

[gvgisdi]

Super Mario Bros., I played it on Pegasus (a cheap clone of NES, sold in Poland and some other Eastern European country). Those were the times :D

 

[k-9 unit]

Super mario bros. Then pokemon firered then full auto all when I was 5

 

[Lord Varion]

Pokémon Blue. :awwwyeaaah:
Back when I was 5 on my 5th birthday.
My dad gave it to me, he played it the night before and said 'I couldn't make heads or tails out of it. A mouse thing kept attacking me. Your gonna fail at it.'
Now, look at me, pa!

 

[Raizhu]

Nintendogs. ._. I don't play that anymore, though. XD
