The first game I can remember playing was this 80's arcade game ported to PC called Battlezone, it was this green polygon tank game. Other games from around that time were these Fisher-Price videogames with pirates and pirates and stuff. The first proper game I had was the original Rollercoaster Tycoon. It went all downhill from there.

Super Mario Bros. and Duck Hunt.

I think it was Blitz on the VIC-20. It was definitely a Vic game, could have been Choplifter, Bullitt, or Trap which is the one that sticks out most in the mind. But I think that's just because of how frantic I found it.

 

[Abbass775]

My first video game that I remember playing is Mario but sadly I don't think I finished it all...

 

[StuffyBunnyy]

My very first game I ever remember playing was either MK or Sonic on the original Sega.

 

[zsu07]

Alley Cat (a dos game). Actually my mum was playing this (and pac-man, digger) and I got interested in it.

 

[OujaStrike]

Killer Instinct SNES

 

[RGBJammal]

GTA Vice City. 2006. I was 9.

 

[BIGPAPAKAN]

The first thing I can think of is playing Mario on SNES when I was 4

 

[BIGPAPAKAN]

Well since I date back to the 70's I guess the first one I remember is Pac Man and the first home video game would be Combat which is what came with the Atari 2600 I got for Christmas in 1981 and been hooked ever since.

I'm a new age gamer I guess but I have played the old pac man but the new one is legit

 

[Nevele]

I think it would be GTA San Andreas

 

[FeiXenogears]

I could name many more since i had a Sega genesis, Super Nintendo, Nintendo 64, PS1 and PS2 as a kid.
First game most likely was one of the first Mario games since again my mom and cousin played them when i was like 4 years old, oh wait i remember playing Duck Hunt also.

 

[fighter999]

i think it is resident evil 4 , when i was a child

 

[Mualangdu]

I just remember the first video game i played is Contra. I’m poor to buy another when i’m a child. I just want to play video game against with my brother 😔

 

[edusreis]

ATARI

 

[Bethezard]

My first game was... so long ago, I don't know which one it was.
Either "J-Bird", "Grand Prix Circuit" or "Color lines". Those were only ones I had access to, so I really enjoyed them

Well, from then afterwards, I remember more clearly "Civilization for Windows", "Caesar 3", "The Dig", "Diablo", "Heroes 2", "X-COM Ufo Defense" and "Fallout". Oh, "Doom", "Unreal Trounament" and "Duke Nukem 3D" was there too, for sure.

Yeah, then I have to look up more, what was then, because I did not tag them in my mind with years. "Starcraft", "Warcraft 2", "Commandos", "Quake 3 Arena", "Age of Empires", "Cossacs". Those were the times... with no responsibilities, other than school, so few people being good at PCs, few gamers out there, games vere much more valuable...

 

[VinkoS]

I am 2003 and i think, that the first game i played (it was something like 2006) on my Nintendo Ds was Pokemon Gold, and i liked it a lot, then my parents got me an PS2, and i loved it, i play it nowadays too and i am searching for games to add to my collection, but nobody wants to stay here and watch me talking about my consoles, so yeah, the first was Pokemon Gold

 

[drastic00]

Space Invaders. 25 cents. It was popular and I wanted to try it. Then I wanted to try it again... It had 3 control buttons: left, right, and fire. A childhood friend had Pong, but I never played it.

Now I'm waiting to get a VR headset. How far we have travelled.

 

[BarryWhite]

First game on PC i remember playing or that i liked anyway was Megarace. I dont know if anyone remembers it but its engrained in my memory cause of the music and the host Lance Boyle 😂😂😂😂

 

[ZevTheWolf]

Not sure of the name but it was in a bar in Louisiana in North Baton Rouge around 1970ish. It was a Pong type game that was like the first ever. The paddles on each side would vibrate and jump around which made it even harder to play and you were always playing against the machine. I am 65 years old so you figure out how old I was.

 

[Baltatzar]

Probably Rad Racer

 

[Frindis]

@Baltatzar I remember enjoying the map with the neon lights a lot

 

[Magander86]

I think it was Tiger Heli from NES. Most NES games were hard as hell and I wasn't able to finish it, but I enjoyed anyway and replayed until I got my hands on double dragon 2. In my childhood I didn't mind to replay the game after the gameover screen (only if I got very, very frustrated), and the majority of games of this era relied upon difficulty to add replay value, so there wasn't much to do.
