I can't say what my first game was, especially if you count the learning video games of the 1980s, but the first I really remember well is "Burger Time" on the Texas Instruments and a parade of PC games... "SimCity," "Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?," "SimTower," "SimEarth," etc etc.

I remember that game...is that the one that you could put in a music cd and it would create a monster from that? That was a great game!

the first game that I actually owned myself, was Tetris for the old gameboy. the first new games I ever had was Bill Elliot's Nascar and Daedalian Opus, also for game boy.

Super Mario Bros. ( the original ) I remember playing with my uncle who now passed away and I could never get through level 1-3 I always played in his water bed in my underwear too.

I don't remember my very first game, but it had to have been either Megaman 2, Zelda, Metroid, or Kid Icarus, as that was what I remember having back then.

I think my first game was probably Pong, actually...my great uncle had a set that only played that one game when I was little, and I used to really enjoy it.

 

[Breetai]

Probably Space Invaders or one of its clones, but to be honest I really don't remember.

 

[snowy446]

First game that i can recall was Crash Bandicoot 1

I remember our family visiting friends who had Pong playing on the TV. This must have been the late 70s. I was instantly mesmerised.

Not long after that we got our own version of Pong, with the Sheen M-1200 Microprocessor Programmable TV Game, which was a clone of RCA Studio II. With that primitive console we also had Doodle, Pattern, Bowling, and Black Jack 1 & 2.

Then came the Atari 2600 which was unbelievably cool for the time. Those simple, primitive games held the attention of children just as much as modern titles which take teams of people and years of development to create.

Oh, and the kids back then really enjoyed their games through and through. Unlike games today which require 40+ hours to complete, and end up on the shelf uncompleted because the next best thing has arrived.

My first game I owned was Hockey/Soccer for the Odyessy 2.
