What was your very first video game?

Come on, geezers. Let's see how old some of you really are.

Allow me to start. This masterpiece was my first game:

 

[JohnnyLove]

I can't remember. But it should be something from Amiga.

It was Freeway for the 2600, basically Frogger with a more polished console version:

Probably Enduro but not sure if it was exactly that because it had a lot of games that we played... it was on a friend's home playing Atari for the first time.

 

[Summer Nightmares]

When I was like 6 years old my granpa hired some guy to install a couple of games on his computers so i'll stop messing around with his office documents. That pack included:

• The sims 1
• Age of empires 1 and 2
• Carnivores
• Asghan the Dragon Slayer
• A nintendo and a sega emulator

Very hard to say. But was before snes my brother had one of those old consoles with keyboard and the game a top down racing game, the track look like a dirt track. Don't remember the name but was my first video game.

The first game i played i think was at my relatives house it was killer instinct 94, or at least that's what i remember

First game i actually owned was european club soccer on the sega mega drive in the late 90s. I was quite late to the party with consoles, as the ps1 had launched at that time.

My dad had to hold me up to reach the controls.

Seeing my dad play Outrun and Operation Wolf at the arcade. Then Pac Man on the NES.

 

[Summer Nightmares]

My dad had to hold me up to reach the controls.

Amazing, among my first games there was one similar to that called The House of the Dead. My dad used to take me to the arcades on the weekends.

 

[Darth Vader]

First one I remember playing was Super Mario World 2.

 

[John Elden Ring]

I think it was Golden Axe, but my memory isnt that good.

 

[SSfox]

 

[Vertigo]

I have memories of Super Mario Bros and Pitfall growing up with a much older brother (I remember loving keystone capers) but my first game that I legitimately played myself and considered mine etc was probably super ghouls n ghosts, followed by a super famicom cart of SF2 World Warrior next followed by Star Fox.

 

[anonpuffs]

There were a couple of other games on my dad's pc but i forget what they were called. One was i think called paratrooper

 

[Zzero]

Mario World in, I want to say, 1992 or 3. Eating good, right from the start...

 

[Lord Mittens]

[Yobo]

Probably something on Super Nintendo. Mario and Ninja Turtles spring to mind

I really wasn't into gaming at a young age, had too much energy to sit around
