Title says it all, what was the first game you remember playing and had fond memories of?
For me it was the PS1, and hearing the OG Crash Bandicoot theme song never gets old for me, got it as my ringtone too!
Super Mario Bros on the NES. I remember getting super frustrated and throwing a tantrum because I couldn’t figure out how to jump over the second hole. Hahahaha man I was pathetic.
That first goomba killed me three times in a row. Took a little bit to figure out the jump timing.
Pong n a DEC PDP 11.
Pong for me too but on a Sears Sports Center pong console:
DEC PDP 11
Everyone else posting about Atari 2600, C-64, and NES. I think you may also win the thread on the only still supported platform with PDP 11 support extended to the year 2050.
Same here. I really am ancient,lol. I’d thought it might have been a Magnavox console,but they were sears diehards(no pun intended) back then. Makes sense. Even had the giant cylinder paddles with it,but no gun.
On my dad´s 386 PC: Prince of Persia, Dune II, Doom
On my Amiga 500: Turrican I + II, Street Fighter II, Lemmings I + II
I’m pretty sure it was Pong on a dedicated console from Sears. I remember playing Pong when I was super young, but I don’t remember if that was at the same time as us getting an Atari 2600 or not.
Was it pong with two gigantic, wired controllers with turn knows? That’s what we had
I can’t remember if it was the one with wired controllers or the one with one box that had two wheels
Mario/duck hunt for NES
Well my first game I think it was Duck Hunt with my family and I didn’t understand how to play it lmao.
But the game I played alone for the first time was Mega Man & Bass on an zsnes emulator on our family pc.
OG NES Duck Hunt.
Wolfenstein, in my dad’s office on his work computer while he was teaching.
Dad’s colleague: [sticks his head in the door] Hey, what are you doing?
Me: Killing Nazis with a Gatling gun.
Colleague: Oh, well that’s good [comes in to watch].
Legend of Zelda back in 1989
Pokemon blue on gameboy or Super Mario 64… both were around the same time I think.
Just got retroarch setup with all N64 games so the nostalgia train is about to start rollin’!
Pokemon Yellow over here, with by brother getting Pokemon Red.
I’m pretty sure it was Paperboy on one of those Tiger Handhelds. Looking them up now brings back memories.
I can’t remember if I played this first, or Tetris. It was probably pretty close for me?
My family got Duck Hunt, Track & Field, and Mario as a package, though I sure remember a LOT of Centipede time.
First PC game I remember was Super Solvers
Or the Apple IIe Glider game was a real fun way to waste some classroom time, barring Oregon Trail.
Oh man, my family loved Super Solvers Midnight Rescue! I vividly remember playing that with my older siblings, but our monitor was green and black, no color, so I’d never actually seen it before in color. But the music stuck with me and probably sparked my love for In the Hall of The Mountain King.
Also had Ernie’s magic shapes and colors… which was pretty hard to do when everything is green. What were my parents thinking buying a color matching game without a color monitor?
NES Batman
Oh, that soundtrack… Great game!
Oh my god yeah, I can’t even tell you how riveted I was as soon as the music started playing. I didn’t realise games could make you feel cool
The original Super Mario Bros on the NES, purchased for me by my grandmother.
First PC game? Math Blaster on a Macintosh 128K
First console game? Super Mario Bros.
First Board Game? Parcheesi/Monopoly
Also was included in my parents D&D group once I was 5 or 6
