First Game You Ever Played? - Page 3

poiuytre · 04-07-2008, 08:29 AM

Tetris I think, but I can't be sure of it. The Final Fantasy 2 (4 in japan) was the first game I ever bought myself tho. It's still one of my top favorite games of all time too. The music, story, graphics and gameplay blew me away.

*JameO* · 04-07-2008, 10:14 AM

I would have to say I don't remember the times back then very well, but if I remember correctly, I was very young and I was in a local tech store, and my parents were just looking around, I saw this game on one of the computers, and just couldnt get away! Jazz Jackrabbit, OH WHAT A GAME! I loved that game and still enjoy going back to it every once in a while, but from what I remember, I played it for like an hour while my parents walked around and then ended up buying the computer so I went home and just marathoned through the game. But thats just from memory, I might have been introduced to games by cousins or other family before that, I just can't remember.

I'm pretty sure my videogame days started out with playing all the old nintendo and snes mario games at my cousins house everytime we went there...Doesn't get any better then that.

PAC-MAN! And it was the arcade one too!

First video game I ever played on my first home owned system, Duck Hunt on the old Nintendo

I think I had a crack at Atari Pong when I was very small.

My friend had a stand up arcade Pong machine in his dining room in the early '80's. I also played games on InTelevision and Atari, but I think Duck Hunt with the cool gun, and Tetris were my first purchases that I saved my own money for.

I'm not typically the guy who bumps an old thread, but I was going to start the same one & figured rather than do that, I'd drudge this one up. I hope nobody minds.

The first game I ever played was The Legend Of Zelda: A Link To The Past for SNES. I'd say to this day that LOZ remains my series of choice, with ALTTP still ranking high.

*Candy Kappa* · 03-02-2011, 11:41 PM

as I wrote on the facebook post. It's either SMB on NES, TMNT on NES or a Mr. Game and Watch game that can't find the mane on.

Then it hit me, it might also be Frogger the Arcade version. My grandfather had a TV workshop store, and he had Frogger and a spaceship game (very reminiscent of Pac-Man). back in winter, when came home for X-Mas, me and my Grandfather had a very interesting conversation about video games from the past and present, and moding. With my 3D Game year, and his own experience with Arcade machines, fixing them, and altering them.

The first gaming machine my family got was a Gameboy with Tetris/Mario Land so I'm guessing either of those two was my first game ever. We got a NES shortly after that. I was extremely young though so I don't know what game I played first but I do have plenty of memories of playing the "Brick" gameboy and the NES, I barely made it to the NES generation and looking back I am so glad I did and did not start gaming with the SNES.

I feel really odd when peoples first console was a N64 or PS1, and theres already people who can post on forums that their first console was the PS2....I feel like they didn't pay their dues or something, I know its silly but yeah. I wonder if the people who grew up with Atari felt the same way about kids who grew up with the NES? ha.

Grab ass. Definitely grab ass.

Rikirk · 03-03-2011, 03:27 PM

Space War, Pong, Space invaders, Galaxian, Gorf,...
All the old school stuff.

*gobo* · 03-03-2011, 04:01 PM

Pong, Avalanche & some other asst. computer games I can't remember the names of now at a cousin's house forever ago.

*Samhain* · 03-03-2011, 04:59 PM

The lion King for the Sega Genesis. Loved it and to this day still one of my favorites.

*Storm Eagle* · 03-03-2011, 05:21 PM

Probably Pac-Man on the PC, or something on the Atari.

*Raph's Girl* · 03-03-2011, 05:30 PM

Either Ace of Aces, Lode Runner, or Frogger on C64

rav4ge · 03-03-2011, 06:32 PM

Probably Pokemon Yellow or Harvest Moon on the Game Boy. I couldn't read yet but I still liked playing them and my Dad helped me out with the text menus.

*TheCanadiandrome* · 03-03-2011, 10:18 PM

not too sure. think it was Super Mario for NES

**GK Punk** · 03-03-2011, 11:57 PM

It's funny, even though I had an Atari first as a kid.I really don't have much nostalgia for it. The NES on the other hand I still play to this day.
