Mine was Pong. It cost a quarter, while my grandmother was getting her car washed. It was 1977, right around when Star Wars came out.

Oh yes, Spyhunter! I can still hear the crazy themesong in my head. =P

Super Mario Brothers.
I remember getting excited when I figured out that the mushroom near the beginning made Mario big.

leashy · « **Reply #9 on:** May 20, 2006, 11:04:12 am »

It was either Super Mario Brothers for Nintendo or the Original Zelda for nintendo, I have vague memories of playing both with my family

There were a lot of games in the arcade my dad would let me play but I don't remember any of those. The first computer game I remember playing was Trolls and Tribulations for the Commodore 64. Awesome platform jumping with the Spinners Song for background music.

I'd like to say my first game was on the Atari but the grown ups said I was too little to play that back in the day. Wait, except my uncle Little Jon, the ex con. I think he let me play a couple of rounds of pitfall once. Yeah!

Pitfall was the first game I played!
He kept saying "See you later alligator, I've got places to go and scorpions to jump!"

I may not be old enough to have Pong cred but Pitfall is still pretty respectable.

Trumby · « **Reply #11 on:** May 21, 2006, 09:39:39 am »

I can't really remember what the first I played was..though it was most likely Duckhunt or Super Mario Bros.

Ohh Tom, definitely can't forget Pitfall. I loved that game.

Neko_Chan · « **Reply #12 on:** May 21, 2006, 10:04:03 am »

Pokemon Yellow on Gameboy Color.

I remember I cried because everyone else had a gameboy color and I didn't. Yay for Christmas.

Negima · « **Reply #13 on:** May 21, 2006, 11:11:16 am »

Now I remember. My baby-sitter (I was about 3 or 4) used to let me play with some really old system. I can't remember any of the names but I remember a flying game and another game with a miner and getting treasure. I also remember I kept dying near the beginning.

guspasho · « **Reply #14 on:** May 21, 2006, 12:21:28 pm »

I don't know if I can remember the name of it. It was definitely before we had the first Nintendo system. We had an Atari keyboard that accepted cartridges similar to type to the NES cartridges, and it was a moon rover game. You controlled a craft that rolled across a rocky lunar landscape in low-g, jumped over pitfalls, and avoided and shot at aliens. I don't remember what it was called.

It was the game Moon Patrol on the Atari 2800

Burger Time on Atari 2600 was the first game I ever played.

Heres a full breakdown of the first game I played on each system I have played. I left certain ones out, though, such as Virtual Boy (That thing hurt my eyes so much).

Atari 2600: Burger Time.

NES: Super Mario Brothers/Duckhunt combo

Gameboy: A Kirby game

SNES: Kirby Superstar

Nintendo 64: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

Gameboy Advance: Golden Sun

Gamecube: Resident Evil 4

Nintendo DS: Super Mario 64 DS

Genesis: Sonic The Hedgehog

Game Gear: Sonic The Hedehog

Saturn: Mortal Kombat Trilogy

Dreamcast: Marvel Vs. Capcom

Playstation: Soul Blade

Playstation 2: Final Fantasy X

PSP: Bleach: Heat The Soul

Xbox: Halo

Xbox 360: Need For Speed: Most Wanted

I am not really sure what I will play on PS3 first, but, whatever it is, it should be fun, I know that.

Eternal Yamcha · « **Reply #17 on:** May 22, 2006, 01:03:58 am »

It could be any number of games. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles could be it... Then again, it could just as easily been some crazy racing game on the Intellivision. Or Dragon Warrior 1... Super Mario Bros.

For street cred./classical gaming cred. I'll say it was that racing game on the Intellivision.

For personal reasons I'll say Dragon Warrior 1.

And Zhalfirin, your new nickname is "Spyhunter." So anytime you go into a new room the music will start playing... Just like "Who's The Boss?"

EcchiSpice · « **Reply #18 on:** May 22, 2006, 07:34:43 am »

The first game I attempted to play was Pac Man on one of those minature arcade machines. I was too little to move pac man around, but I remember being freaked out by the ghosts.

The first game I actually played was Super Mario Brothers. My brother and I would play it on the display at Wal-Mart while my mom shopped.

Pie Row Maniac · « **Reply #19 on:** May 22, 2006, 09:00:51 am »

Mario Bros was the first, but MegaMan 2 was the first game I beat. Because of that, it holds a special place in my heart. That and MM2 kicks supreme ass in general.

MikaRin375 · « **Reply #20 on:** May 23, 2006, 03:47:41 am »

My first game was on the sega genesis when it came out..I was young...It was this viking game....that or bubble man....I dont know the exact names...but I dont have them anymore...=(

Blackdrak · « **Reply #27 on:** July 06, 2006, 09:28:51 pm »

Hmm, I remember playing both Sonic the Hedgehog and Mortal Combat on the Sega Genesis with my brother when I was about four. I think my first PC games were Duke Nukem and Doom.

Superdude2k4 · « **Reply #28 on:** July 07, 2006, 12:17:14 am »

Very first game I played was Pong on the Atari, I was born 1988, but my dad had an Atari still.

Random_Naruto_Ninja_#24 · « **Reply #29 on:** July 07, 2006, 02:13:40 am »

I cant even really remember, lol. I think it was mortal combat for the Sega Genisis, either that or Sonic the Hedgehog.

leashy · « **Reply #30 on:** July 19, 2006, 12:49:45 pm »

Wow, alot of you guys have great memories if you can remember every game you have played on each system. I could maybe guess what it was I played but can't say for sure on all of them ;-;

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #31 on:** July 20, 2006, 05:14:08 am »

Ummm... the first computer games i can remember playing were Donald Duck's Alphabet Hunt or something like that and Sonic...

Other than that I remember playing Mario Smash Brothers... I don't know how old I was but I remember pausing the game and I was playing Pikachu and I shocked DK and the frame was showing lightning flying out of DK's butt and my guy friend and I thought it was just the funniest thing ever

Kimiski · « **Reply #32 on:** July 20, 2006, 07:55:48 am »

Dig dug and Arkanoid both on the arcade

I take pride in the fact that the first video game i ever played was on the Turbo Grafx 16. =P (PC Engine in Japan).

The first game of course, was the TG16's included game. Keith Courage in Alpha Zones. A golden cookie for anyone else who has heard of it, let alone played it.

Keenon Williams · « **Reply #36 on:** August 14, 2006, 02:17:31 am »

Megaman.

Squall · « **Reply #37 on:** August 14, 2006, 12:57:49 pm »

It was either a game on the original (first) Atari (probably pacman or space invaders) or one on the family Commodore 64 (men in the moon math...lol). Man I feel old now. XP

Wolf Wood · « **Reply #38 on:** August 14, 2006, 05:52:35 pm »

ambergen87 · « **Reply #39 on:** August 16, 2006, 08:27:25 pm »

*thinks back to a long, long time ago*

First arcade game would have to be Mortal Combat. I'd always play as Rayden. *smiles*

When it came to the home console, my first was Super Mario Brothers with Duck Hunt. *get's out the gun and grins* I loved them both and I still do.

With the Playstation it was Star Ocean: The Second Story. *big smile* It is the first video game I own and I bought it a month before getting my PS1. I've had it for about 9 years, and I still haven't beaten it. *sweatdrops and mumbles* Stupid final boss.

My first game on the PS2 was Final Fantasy X. *shakes her head and chuckles* I'm just a big fan of that game series.

On the computer it's Tetris. *shakes fist* That annoying game is so addicting. It was on a computer that used no mouse. It was our family's first computer.

Washougal_Otaku · « **Reply #40 on:** August 23, 2006, 10:14:53 pm »

That I can recall, it was either Pac Man or Adventure, both for the Atari.

Before my parents ever got the original Nintendo system, we had a Commodore 64.

My first game that I remember playing was "Alf in the Color Caves". I was like 3 years old.

I found a website that has a little screen cap of it.

The first video game I can recall was Pole Position for the Commodore 64. There was also a Winter Olympics game I enjoyed, but I think I broke the disk for it. =(
