First Video Game?

[Guru03]

Super Mario Brothers on the old portable handheld Nintendo DS (circa 2005 I think)

This is going to sound odd but the first game I remember playing was ET for the Atari 2600. Man it is a wonder why I stuck with gaming. I guess other games kept my interest such pac-man, Yar's Revenge, and a few activision games. Then the NES came out with Super Mario Bros. and I guess I was hooked from then on.

So many replies, the gist I get is that you imagine it means more than it really does, just because people never really like games (no matter how much you tell them to _____ lol ).

My Dad stole me my first game, on an apple II . The memory sort of dies at that point, because you are not supposed to steal games, no matter how cool your Dad is (or was). It was a dungeon, I think.

I started to be obsessed with games (I paid for _____ _____ (let the reader take note _____ _____ _____ ), when I finished university, then I got so medicated there was no way to play them, read a book called "Naked before God" by a Game Programmer ("Bill Williams " ) and gave my only working controller away to a mate (with, a spare console _____ _____ _____ _____ ) . I still don't know whether I will ever play games again (I just don't _____ ) .

If you asked me "does the fact that I don't know whether I am going to play games again, matter to remembering my first game?" I'd have to say, it does a little - but only in-so-much as I am aware that life is still fun, whether you think you were playing a little of a game (or a lot _____ _____ _____ " " " " " " " " " " _____ _____ ) _____ _____ ( ) _____ ( ( ) ) ______ ______ ______ .

The first video game I played--on a friend's Atari 2600--was Pong, followed by other Atari titles of the time, like E.T., Stampede, Haunted House, etc.

My favorite early video games--played on my wannabe home computer at the time--were Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and Centipede.

And the first video game that I legitimately owned was whatever racing game came with the SEGA Genesis console.

Atari 2600. the game was _____ had tanks and planes. shoot eachother for points and make em spin around.

First NES. Mario 3 that came packaged in the box.

First AppleII game Hard Hat Mack

First PC game was Worlds of ZZT

I also don't trust my memory to be 100% correct on any of these, because of the cognitive impairment from growing up playing video games...

I think lego batman

My friend had an Atari when I was a small child. I recall getting excited and then thinking it was rubbish after trying it out. So another vote for Super Mario Bros here. That was the first full game I played.

I can't remember my first console game (maybe Donkey Kong, back when we used those square controllers), though Chip's Challenge was definitely my first game ever. Got so addicted to that game

Hang On - on the master system...

I always wanted to get the NES - but my uncle had a discount at a certain store which didnt have the nes - so I got the master system from him for christmas in 1989...

I can't remember which but I know it was a Legend of Zelda game. From that moment on I was just in love with the series and here I am now, a massive Zelda fan!

First game ever was probably a MK or something. First game I really remember was Super Mario 64.

 

[Aureus]

First ones that I can recall was Street Fighter and A-10 Tank Killer ( on the same day ), on 5 1/4" floppy disks, in DOS.

My first game was Super Mario Sunshine when I was about 9. The game that made me really like games, though, was Zelda: Twilight Princess.
