First game you ever played?

[starbreaker]

I wonder if anybody else remembers The Guardian Legend on the NES.

[cyberfun1 (dizz)]

the first game i can ever remember playing was either Space Pinball or Me and My Grandma. It's been like, a decade since ive played that game so im not sure

The earliest game I remember playing was the THQ Finding Nemo game. I must have been about five or six when I played it on my dad's old Dell PC, lol.

Mostly had educational games as a kid (jumpstart etc) but I also got lego rock raiders which I was really obsessed with. That was probably where my love of video games started 

[Memory]

for me, i'm not really sure what it was! though i did have a PS2 when i was a toddler, it was a hand-me-down from my ex-friend's cousins lol
it had maany SingStar games, that weird Madagascar movie game, Ratchet & Clank (the first game), EyeToy Play 2, EyeToy Monkey Mania, Project Zero 3, and various others.

though i also played on a weird V-Tech console when i was in kindy, i don't really remember the names of those games nor which one exactly that i played.
but i think for the PS2, it was most probably Ratchet & Clank. i loved that game until i got to the second or third level and the game would freeze cuz the disc was so scratched up

I think it was either super mario bros or mickeys magical quest.  Not one hundred percent sure.

For me I think it was Theme Hospital at my Nannie's house (not caretaker Nannie, but my father's mother lol). And the love of that game has carried right over in to my enjoyment of the Two Point franchise. I love the humour so much, I'm generally not huge on tycoon games but they're not too challenging compared to some others I've tried over the years and they hit that comfort sweet spot for me

I wasn't in a big video game family growing up, I was given a Game Boy when my interest in games piqued and then went through all of the DS generations (which I still kick myself about because I got rid of them and there is no bigger regret in my life) but I never really knew what I was doing and spent most of my time in simulation games such as Animal Crossing rather and Tamagotchi connections rather than making any meaningful progression in adventure games.

Man... so many memorable choices... Earliest games I can remember are Roller Coaster Tycoon and Chip's Challenge.  I played the heck out of Super Mario All Stars and Super Mario World, Kirby Super Star, Turtles in Time... I knew next to nothing about how to beat these games and just kinda played the same levels over and over, making up stories in my head.

Chip's Challenge is the main reason I remember the ol' windows 95 PC:

Pacman

My family owned a lot of plug-and-play games when i was a kid, one of them was a namco plug-and-play with games like pacman and dig dug on it. I was like, 4 years old and didn't know how to read yet so i had a hard time understanding what the hell was going on so i kept losing lol

....my mom eventually had to take all our plug-and-plays away because my siblings wouldn't stop playing on them instead of doing their chores and i never saw them again...(-_-)

[torquuato]

the family computer was my first taste of video games. i would play LOADS of browser games but notably spent lots of time on Moshi Monsters and Bin Weevils. Loved those games and played the hell out of all the free content.

later i would get an ipad and on my birthday in 2013(? i think) i BEGGED my mum to buy me terraria bcs all my friends had it. i have spent probably near a thousand hours playing terraria stuck on the 1.2 update on my ipad. i would take my ipad everywhere playing terraria, from school, to sneaking it into my bed past bed time (sacrilege). i would consider this probably my first proper game i played.

finally, the first actual game i myself count as playing is Mario and Luigi Dream Team Bros for the Nintendo 3DS. That game hoooooooo boy. Christmas of 2014, i FINALLY got my first proper gaming console. ALL my friends had xbox 360s, psvitas, etc. but i just wanted a nintendo 3ds. GOD they were so cool. and with it, i got the crowning herald of (the year of luigi (2013)), MLDTB. i was ADDICTED to this game. my mum would hide my 3ds and i would spend the day time looking for where she hid it, wait for her to fall asleep, then nab it to play in my bed.

good old days

The first video game I ever played was early 90s with my dad. It was a football game which I think was Tecmo World Cup 90 in an video arcade in Llandudno. Vivid memory for back in the day.

I think I played as England and I won 1-0 :)

When I was like three years old or something I played Sonic the Hedgehog via the "6-pak" on Genesis. That cart easily defined my tastes in video games since it had Sonic, Streets of Rage, and Columns on it.

I remember at the very least beating Green Hill act 1 lmao
Playing on older consoles was just a side effect of growing up poor in the late 90s.

[virtualpet2001]

i had a ton of plug-and-play games and CD rom things for babies as a child but the first game that propelled me into the League of Gamers was kirby superstar ultra on my DS...i had actually had the DS for awhile alongside a copy of Catz 2 but the responsibility of caring for a virtual pet all by myself scared me at the time! I wouldve been 5 or 6 then
