Duck Hunt. I chose it instead of Mario on the first screen of the combination cartridge.

Mario 64 or Pokemon blue. I have a sweet story of 64 tho.

My dad bought a N64 with Mario 64 for me at a 2nd hand market. It had no manual whatsoever. I booted it up and I didn't get it. I didn't know what to do (remember that this was my first game ever). I didn't understand and I was quite upset. My dad, who is still to this day a retard with technology, stayed up ALL night to figure out how to do play this so I could enjoy it the next day. God I miss him.

The absolute first ones were text based (or ascii graphics) games on an outdated computer running MS-DOS that my parents got in 1996. Shit like hangman and a game where you drop torpedos from a ship or something. Came on a large floppy.

First "real" game is probably Lego Island or SMB2.

Nope, most people who would be angry about that are usually teenagers trying to fit in. As you get older you'll have other things to get angry about. Besides you don't get to decide when you are born, it's not your fault you didn't grow up during the 80s or 90s.

Are you talking about the Icy Peak level? I think I know what you're talking about, and here's how you do it, if you ever feel like playing the game again.

There's a part of the ice that's cracked and vulnerable. What you do is glide over to it from the stone floor next to the ice, headbash it when you're flying over the cracked part of the ice, and then you can get the gems.

Impossible to remember, but probably something on an arcade like metal slug or something similar?

I also remember playing excite bike, track and field, duck hunt, super mario, on a console I had(no clue if it was a legit nes or a knock off)

I have no idea which of these is first they are really fuzzy memories.

After these fuzzy stuff it was Pokemon trading card game on my game boy (red was sold out!) and then Fifa 98 when I got my first PC.
