    Arrow Your first video game

    What was the first video game you have ever played? I remember that my first game was for the NES but I don't know what was it.

    Re: Your first video game

    Mines an easy one, Super Mario Bros/Duckhunt for NES. It was like when I was 4 and we had an NES (not sure when/how we got it). I didn't even play video games much my cousins did more when they baby-sat me and I just watched. I played that and Excite-bike sometimes. I also owned a Ninja Turtles game and a Roger Rabbit game.

    I didn't own another system or game way until right before N64 came out. I bought/inherited my oldest cousins SNES with Super Mario world, Super Mario Kart and some Star Wars game. I hated Star Wars so I traded the game quickly to my brothers friend for Yoshi's Island. Then I played Yoshi's Island endlessly,

    Since then I've owned almost all home consoles except Dreamcast and the Xboxs, even virtual boy (ouch!, I wonder why I wear glasses?).

    Re: Your first video game

    It's either Chips Challenge or Ski Free, both were available on Windows 3.11 back then. Chips Challenge was truly a brain cracker, if you take all beaten levels into account, my age at the time (five, max six years old), I was actually quite good at it, though I highly doubt I could beat some of the levels if I were to play it now. On the side note, the main character kinda reminded me of Bill Gates.

    As for Ski Free, to this very day I ****ing despise that bear, yeti, bigfoot, whatever it was...

    Re: Your first video game

    My first game ever was a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game for SNES, man I wish I still had that console and all the games I had on it. Nothing like some good old Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong, and Super Mario to bring back the childhood memories.

    Like Dan, my first game was Mario Bros./Duckhunt. Dad would get mad that I would get right next to the TV screen to shoot that gray and orange gun. He said, "Where's the challenge in that?"

    I was 1, and I picked up the NES controller and started to press buttons? I don't know, the game was MegaMan, and I'm pretty sure I didn't get pass the first gap.

    Re: Your first video game

    I actually get teary-eyed when I think about it...

    My first video game experiance was when I played Final Fantasy 8 on a brand new playstation one. I soon after got Tomb Raider and my own copy of FFVIII, and Jet moto.

    Such a great time, I loved seeing this all as new. First experiancing wolfs and bears on Tomb Raider, first unlocking the Hevean and Hell level of Jet moto... Ahh, classic.

    Re: Your first video game

    I am not entirely sure on what was my first video game. As I try to remember, I recall: Duck Hunt, Super Mario Bros., Donkey Kong, or Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. I wasn't a gamer back then but my cousins had a NES and a Gameboy. I got the Gameboy and would play a lot of Donkey Kong and SML 2. So I would say it was one of those of 4.

    Speaking of old video games anybody remember Batman: The Video Game developed by Sunsoft for the Game Boy? I had such a hard time with that game. I never got that far and never did beat the game.

    Re: Your first video game

    There is a picture of me somewhere at about 18 months, and I am sitting at a computer watching computer-generated patterns made by a BBC Micro. Though I think my first game was Snapper, a Pac-Man-esque game, (read: blatant rip-off!) for the same system.

    Re: Your first video game

    D'awww~ So neat seeing everyone's early gaming memories. ^^ Mine would be probably Super Mario 3 for the NES. It's the earliest memory of my experience with gaming I have, so I guess that's it. My mom and older brother would play it together, and I would sit back and watch. Eventually, they let me pick up the controller and try my hand at it.

    NES: Contra, Excitebike, Mario / Duck Hunt, and there was a racing game on a dirt track where you could build your own tracks and had 3 or 4 different types of vehicles. It's not monster truck rally or offroad racer... but something kinda like those. Can't remember the name.

    Re: Your first video game

    Trying to think back to a time which I cannot remember (I was one or two when I started gaming apparently) I'll go to my first memory of it, which happens to be Double Dragon for the NES. My Granny had it for some reason, and they let my brother and I play it, we had so much fun... I had responsible parents and grandparents, what can I say?

    Re: Your first video game

    My first was Super Mario All stars for the NES. Played it when I was around 5 or 6. A really fun game back then and will always be one of my favourite Mario games ever.

    My first video game was Pong for the Atari 2600. And all my rowdy friends come over, because I have Pong. It is like the cutting edge of technology or something. Right up there with your Commodore 64 and your Windows Operating System.

    Re: Your first video game

    The first game I remember playing was tetris, duckhunt (which came included with Super Mario) on the old old Nintendo console. After that would have been claymates on SNES (way back in 1993-I would have been 4). After that there was one with a unicycle that I absolutely loved. Uniracers I believe it's called. Sometime between there I played Star Fox, Yoshi's Island, Other Super Mario games and things like that. I had a good childhood.

    It was probably something like Super Mario Bros. It would have to have been something like that, because I couldn't read back then.

    Pokemon Blue on the Gameboy Colour. I must have been about five or six when i got it for my birthday. I still have it now and i play it occasionally because i enjoy its simplicity and in some cases its very similar to the newer Pokemon games.Although my Gameboys long since bit the dust due to general negligence and it fell into a puddle.

    Hi, Finland. It seems that many people's firsts are Super Mario Bros. (1,2, and 3) and Duckhunt for the first Nintendo system. Those were some of my first, as well as Centipede, Asteroids, and Tron for arcades. There was also the first Mortal Kombat, Donkey Kong, Ninja Gaiden, Tetris, Sonic the Hedgehog, Sonic 2, Sonic + Knuckles, Sonic Pinball, Nemo, Nightmare on Elm Street, Double Dragon, Starfox, first Metroid, first Mega Man series, first few of the Zelda games with all their glitches, first T.Mutant Ninja Turtle arcade game, Street Fighter, Mario for the Super Nintendo, and Kirby- that fat, pink marshmellow thingie on GBA.

    This was a lie. My first game was actually Donkey Kong Game & Watch thing. Though if we're talking consoles, my first game was actually Ikari Warriors, I think. Either that, or the sequel, which looks a little more familiar. Maybe both. (My bro rented an NES way early in my life.) First console game we owned, of course, was Super Mario Bros./Duck Hunt. Anyhoo...
