What was the first video game you remember playing?
This is mine /v/
>>339190430
This wasn't my first one, but the last one I remember playing
>>339190430
Now this was a goat game.
Ghost n goblins
First game i remember playing is Golden axe on the megadrive.
>>339190430
Don't remember the fist one I played, but the first one I owned was Test Drive 4.
Also Sonic on megadrive.

>>339190430
Some kind of Pac-Man clone on my dad's laptop
it had windows 3.1 on it
First game I finished too.
>>339190430
I only had an old NES until I got Halo with an Xbox in 2001, I remember we rented this game a lot.
>>339190430
You have to be 18 to post here.
Killer Instinct on SNES
Super Mario 3 on NES is the first I remember.
But I've been told I played other games before that.
>>339190430
Super Mario World Master Race reporting
>>339190430
are you fucking kidding me?
I'm young but this is underage for a first game
>>339190430
Shit was rad as fuck.
Not sure what was first. This one I had fond memories of though.
>>339190430
It was either Duck Hunt or Crash Racing.
This was in 1998.

Pokemon Blue GBC
>>339191394
Fuck you, I was in the middle of typing that.
Still one of my favorite games to go back and play every once and a while. For a NES game it holds up really well.
Sonic 2
>>339191318still rad

>>339190430
>>339191171
This one.
I also have a faint memory of two other DOS games that came in floppy disks, one let you ride a train around, the other one involved a magic castle, but that's literally all I remember from them.
They were probably just forgettable generic edutainment crap anyway.
Either some MS-DOS game ( Prince of Persia, supaplex etc) or Tetris with some shitty portable gameboy
They had it set up in a toy store. I thought in order to jump you had to pull the 3D stick up and I ended up pulling the stick out of the controller. Got out of there before anyone noticed.
>>339191295
Released in 2003, 13 years ago.
If OP played it when he was 5, then he's good.
Time flies.
>>339191398
That's so innocent. What was the first GOOD game you remember getting your hands on? I'm curious
>>339190896
this one (kirby)
>>339190430
>>339190430
Pac-Man.who else /over30 here/
It might not be the first one I played, but I remember it because it's the first one i owned
Jesus, this place is more underage than reddit
Lot of pedobait on this thread.
I thought it fucking sucked and didn't touch video games again for a year.
Mine was animal crossing, in 2001
I remember we got this in a pack with like 10 other games for my dads mac, me and my sister rarely made it past the water level.
>>339191703
It's not as bad as I would've imagined actually. I was expecting more six gen games.
>>339190430
My dad said I managed to finish the game near 100% and I was like, fucking 4. I forgot all about it tho and I've been meaning to replay this game for a while
>>339191221
I had my first boner playing this.My memory of that particular event is so vivid it's almost scary.
>>339190430
i still want remake/remastered steam port in hd and shit
Doom freemium or lightcycles
I don't know
It was some dos side scrollin kind of game, with an overworld map that had an ocean to the left
If I saw it again I'd probably recognise it
The first memory is thinking this game was garbage.
This or Rush n' Attack. The arcade. At the grocery store.Pretending to play during the attract demo.
>>339190430
the original Mario game, I'm kinda glad since its a great place to start from
>>339191552

I was 4.
>>339191975

I wish games called themselves that nowadays.
Probably river raid or missile command on Atari or something

I don't know why, though, I'm sure I played a lot of SNES when I was younger but this feels like it was my first one for some reason.

>>339190430
On a laptop my dad got for work, which was massive news for the family at the time.
Especially since his job didn't require a goddamn laptop so no one had any idea why he'd been given one.My friends were amazed by my tactic of using bananas to make a tunnel through the buildings and hit them directly while they all fumbled around trying to play it properly
pretty sure it was doom2
>>339190430
That game came out in 2003 so you must be like 16 fucking years old? Get the fuck off this board you underage cunt
This is probably mine
>>339190996
OH SHIT.
I remember my retarded kid brain couldn't get past the underground level, which I think is the 2nd level of the game.
Super Mario Bros 3 on the NES
I was born in 1993
for n64
>>339190430
>>339190896
+1 to Sonic but the first game I played on Game Boy was Super Mario Bros. Actually I might have played Tetris on a friend's Game Boy before that but when I got mine, it came with Mario
>>339192318
Played it when i was 5 in 2003.
>>339190430
Remembering racing and crashing a lot just to see how much the car would get wrecked.
Fun times.
Tie between this for SNES or some real crappy motorcross game for my first PC
The first console i got was a pirate NES it had a lot of games and the first game i played on it was Super Mario Bros. it also has a bootleg Mario Bros. with the teletubbies insead of mario and luigi

Right here fampai.kill me
I was spending a summer at my grandmother's place, and some of my older cousins had gotten a NES(real rarity over here at the time) and brought it with them.
This piece of shit was my first experience with videogames. Thankfully they also had Bubble Bobble and Super Mario Bros with them.
>>339192434

Pajama Sam
>>339192259

Poor sod, having /v/ as your first videogame. Don't worry, I don't think anybody has beat the final boss.
>>339190430
My grandfather had an atari.
>>339192659
Yeah of course I'd forget to post the actual pic.
>>339190537
Oh shit my dad bought that for me. I was surprised that it was pretty fun. Later on all my friends bought it as well. Good times man.
First game was probably either MK3, Prince of Persia or some 2D sidescroller Batman game.
>>339190430
It's hazy because I remember being exposed to a lot of vidya even at a very young age, but my cousin got this for me on my third(yes) birthday, kinda one of those "you'll grow into it" gifts

Still one of my favorites even today.

>>339191485
Same for me, and this other game for the nes you were a knight and I remember walking through woods and going through doors in the trees or something. I can't remember the name of it. Was for nes
Stunt track racer
>first game
>ps2
>>339191472
FUCKING HELL I REMEMBER THIS GAME
I'm a Britfag but we had it on an American cartridge, which meant we had to use this crazy adapter where you had to put a British / European cartridge in as well for it work (like pic related, but with the front cartridge an American one)
I remember finding that game super hard when I was young, and slightly scary too. My favourite SNES games at the time were Earthworm Jim, Super Mario World (I didn't have that so borrowed it from a friend), Cool Spot (it was like some promotional game made by Virgin), and sometimes Metroid but again I found that scary when I was 6 years old or whatever.
>>339193067
A mod? I remember we use to just load up coop from the setup file back then.
>>339190430
OP, that game is 3D...
>>339190896
That's one damn good shader. What's the name?
>>339192434
>first game I played on Game Boy was Super Mario Bros
You mean Super Mario Land probably.
Duke Nukem time to Kill, I was only 4, not sure why I was allowed to play it. But no regrets
>>339190430
Donkey Kong. I remember sitting on my aunts lap in a bar playing they game. She had her hands in my lap. Coincidentaly it was also the first boner I remember having.
I remember getting my ass fucked by this every single time
The very first colin mcrae rally 1998 I think on pc.
Thats what got me into pc or gaming general
not even kidding. It was at a neighbors house and I was young enough that I still had fun
I think it was some preinstalled Windows (or not even Windows) game, some puzzle about 4 different colors on a grid. I only remember the player charcters being big colored sphere monarchs.
Ether that or the first or the second GTA. Don't remember which one.
But what was your first favorite game?
I owned maybe 6 games before this but this one blew them the fuck out.
![2363672-snes_bugsbunnyrabbitrampage[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/bRaaeC8.jpg "2363672-snes_bugsbunnyrabbitrampage[1].jpg")
I think i was like 4-5
or wolfenstein 3d
I barely remember having this box that plgus into your TV which had a bunch of atari games loaded onto it. this was when I was about 4. I remember one of the games was hockey. Anyone know what it might've been?
Doom of course.
I still play it today.
>>339190430
I remember playing that. It was okay fun, but thank god my first wasn't a 3D IP tie-in like that.

>Super Mario Land
Oh yeah you're right. Also I had Super Mario Land 2 as well, this one - >>339192398 - which I played a lot more (because it was a much more in depth game). Good times.
Sonic 2. My older brother played it a lot, so I watched him. I think when I was around 3 he began showing me how to actually play it, along with the other genesis games we had.
This has always made me wonder, though. Some people are naturally good at videogames while others, no matter how hard they try, wind up being mediocre at best. Does starting out earlier give you an advantage of sorts, allowing your mind to adapt to the challenges more easily during such a critical time of growth? Maybe I'm just overthinking this.

I'm hooked since.
I've had a fucked up childhood, we had money but there was a lot of violence and pain, also no friends until I was 13.
There's less than 10 memories I have from my first 10 years (I've counted) which is not normal.
I knew how to multiply when I was 4, but couldn't learn to read until 10 when I went to a specialist, who after a while started to physically abuse me cause I was stupid.
I went to another one when I was 12. She's a fucking angel and I pretty much became a normal functioning human because of her. (friends, gf, college degree, very good job)
She's something you don't even see in movies. 1 sentence and she knows every last detail of your life, like she could write your biography level.
Oh wait the neighbour had a nintendo and I played mario first.
Best game.
I remember perfectly the first time I saw and played a videogame.

![3139[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/Q8SWcyf.jpg "3139[1].jpg")
Probably this or that one where you shoot baloons with an arrow
i remember this one game where you could travel the world with a sword, companions and could learn magic like a fire ball

I had them both. Mario Land was actually the 1st game I owned. I also got Mario Land 2 later and damn I loved it. Replayed it recently. It's much shorter than I remembered,
I was so young I don't remember
the NES was always just there but I vaguely remember my uncle giving it to us when he joined the navy
I'm going to assume it was the original zelda because why wouldnt you go for that blangin ass cart first

25 year old here, I also played Jazz Jackrabbit but only when I was a bit older and a friend at school had shown it to me. I think I was like 10 / 11 when I played it. Good game though.
When I was 5, I played Hover on Windows 95, also Chip's Challenge. I dunno maybe I was 6 or 7, I have no fucking idea to be honest.
I didn't know how to read and write at the time, so my brother thought me what keys to hit to get around. at some point i forgot what to do to pay the taxi so i kept getting beat up when i tried to leave.

It was a top down space game, you had to stay on the platforms and avoid the black ones, It was for MS DOS and is really old
i dunno if anyone knows but that was my first one i dont even remember the title, I think I played Jazz JAckrabbit around the same time too
>>339191673

How fucking young are some of you niggers?
Was not expecting that much 3d.
Anyway, I started a bit late in life for gaming but this beauty right here is my first bae.
>>339191346
second this
The VERY first game I ever played I think was the original Doom. I remember going in to my dads work to pick him up and he had snuck a copy of Doom onto one of the computers. Blew my fucking mind
The first game that I truly remember actually playing through was X-Wing. I loved that game so much. Would always come home from school, get my joystick out of the drawer, and play it for hours
Also, Y-Wings for life
>>339194806

that and excite bike
fuck i just nostalgia'd really hard no game will ever pull me in as much as my first vidya ever did
>>339191880
honestly it's not that hard because near the end you get a gadget that is a radar thing to find the monkeys
the time trials arent too hard either but for a 4 year old thats pretty good

>no game will ever pull me in as much as my first vidya ever did
The only game to achieve that for me was when I saw a full 3D game for the first time in the form of Super Mario 64. I was completely blown away at the wizardry going on.
I remember when I was like 6 I had an over 200 games CD that had Doom and Duke Nukem and Marble Madness and Scorched Earth and stuff on it
It also had this really bizarre flight simulator called Corncob 3D that made the computer restart in order to play the game
first Tomb Raider.
Never played since, always wondered if maybe I missed out on something
