What was the first game you've played on each system?

[Prowler]

I thought this would be interesting.

Atari 2600: Frogger. Pretty fun game, and I've only played it for the first time ever in like 2012!

NES: Super Mario Bros. or TMNT, I'm guessing. Can't say I recall, but it was either Mario or the Turtles.

Genesis: Sonic the Hedgehog

Game Gear: We had like 3 games for this ripoff and I only remember playing Shinobi on it, so probably that one.

SNES: Super Mario World... although my earliest life memory is playing Star Fox on the SNES when I was like 3-4 years old back in 1993-1994.

Sega Saturn: Either Virtua Fighter 2 or Virtua Cop 2... or wait, maybe Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition?

Tiger Electronic handheld games: I only recall owning one of them. It was a Sonic game where you had to climb up to Robotnik while avoiding getting hit by stuff he'd drop? I dunno. Does it ring a bell for anyone?

PlayStation: I never actually played in a physical one(if you know what I mean), but played a few games on it last year. I think Street Fighter Alpha 3 was the first one I've ever tried on it.

Nintendo 64: Super Mario 64

Game Boy Color: Tetris DX

Game Boy Advance: Didn't get any games for it until a year after I got it, so it was probably a GBC title that I played on it first. Can't recall which, but probably Super Mario Bros. Deluxe. As for actual GBA games, Super Mario Advance 2 or F-Zero Maximum Velocity. I think Mario Kart Super Circuit was also one of my first games for it as well.

GameCube: Fifa 2003. It came bundled with Sunshine back in Christmas 2002, but oddly enough, I went for my FIFA copy first. And next day, I played Melee.

PlayStation 2: I only got this console in 2005(Slim version). Cannot recall if it was Pro Evolution Soccer 5 or SmackDown vs. Raw 2006 that I played first on it.

Wii: ...Wii Sports doesn't really count, but I must say that I've mostly played Virtual Console and GameCube games on my Wii. At the time we got it, I was going through a retrogaming phase and then went through one where I felt like I had lost interest in videogames. My brother was the one who was playing mostly Wii games on it and I'm yet to touch games like the Mario Galaxy ones and SSB Brawl, even though they're right under the TV in my living room. I really oughta look into that someday...

So anyway, not counting Wii Sports then... SNK Arcade Classics vol. 1. A compilation of older games

DS: Never owned one, but played some WarioWare on it.

3DS: Mario Kart 7

Arcade Machines: Now, this one is quite challenging! As we all know, arcades are a rare species nowadays and most of them have died since the turn of the century, so 99% of the times I got my hands on one was when I was a kid in the 90s.


PC: I think I played the 7th Guest back in the 90s. Or maybe jsut watched my brother play it, can't recall. But now that I think about it, maybe my first title was actually Battle Chess? And then FIFA 2001 or Championship Manager 2000/2001.


I'm gonna bet that it was a Sega game. And it was either Virtua Fighter 3(I tried that one out every Saturday since a place near my home had it) or Sega Rally.

Then there's consoles like Xbox, 360, PSP, PS3, Vita and PS4; that I have never played except for the odd 2 minutes I've spent trying them out when they were on display at an electronics store. But that doesn't count.

Yoyu know, that's funny. I also don't remember which was my first GB game. I owned both the original grey brick GB and the green pocket GB, but can't remember which games I've played on them, let alone the first one ever.

[Ninjinister]

How do you guys even remember any of this?

I felt it'd be a fun memory exercise.

I don't remember clearly which games I've popped in 90s consoles, but it's fun trying to remember.

Also, when it comes to Nintendo consoles, it's easier to remember this considering that every Nintendo console gets bundled with a Mario game. The Wii got bundled with Wii Sports because it was a proper introductory game to the motion controls, not to mention Nintendo was tapping into a lot of people who had never really played games before, so they needed a fairly easy game to pick up and play like Wii Sports to get the consumers used to the motion controls.

I was hoping to see someone mentioning a more obscure game as their first one for a major console.

I had no idea there was a Rocky game for the GC. How... "decent" is it?

I enjoyed it. The movie mode has three minor fights then you have the movie opponent as the boss and you can train to gain points in five categories. If you beat it on hard you unlock Mickey Goldmill and the Rocky statue as playable characters for the 1 vs 2 players or vs cpu. It has nice graphics that hold up for a 2002 game. A couple of the pale white opponents real can get bloodied up. I still play it a few times a year.

That's why its a fun thread since you force yourself to remember what you played first, its not that difficult for many consoles since I only had one title when I bought the system or it was the title in stores demo units but I did give an informed guess in a few of them like with the Gamecube I bought both Super Monkey Ball and Rogue Leader but I probably went for the easy pick up and play game instead of RL. The ones I had no idea I didn't list.

Oh demos? I had a Demo CD for the Sega Saturn(actually, I still have it) which contained a Sega Rally track, a level of Clockwork Night II and some Baseball game which name I've forgotten where you could play in the home run mode. I played the **** out of that demo back in the day.

Demo CDs and PC games that came bundled with gaming magazines were pretty cool.

[Toitlefan]

Definitely had to think back on this one...
Nes-Excitebike
Snes-Ninja Warriors
Genesis-Sonic 1
PS1-Resident Evil
PS2-Spyhunter (I think)
GC-Metroid
PS3-kill zone 3
PS4-Battlefront

Woah, now talk about the first SNES game you've ever played being obscure. I have honestly never heard of this game before. I'm guessing you got a SNES around 1995-1996, then? And how did that end up being your first game and not something like, I dunno, Donkey Kong Country which came out around that time? Now I'm curious.
