I received my first video game system in 1989. It was called the Nintendo Entertainment System. It came with two games that were bundled together So, The first game I really remember playing was Super Mario Brothers.

same but i didnt get the system as soon.

Haha. If you stick around, you'll find that most of us here are old dudes.

green or amber?

I always liked amber a lot more. It seemed sharper looking to me. My first computer, the C64, came with an amber screen that I used until we started hooking it up to a color TV.

My 1st computer was a Tandy Color, I don't recall what we attached it to. I highly doubt it had a color screen
It was 42 years ago, I have a good excuse.

I love how threads like this draw in so many new posters. And most of them seem like legit posts, too.

Tomb Raider Anniversary, was my first game. But as far as I remember, I did not pass it completely. The dinosaur is to blame for everything. Or was it in another part?

It was far from my first game, but that game was awesome with motion controls on the original Wii. And I loved the mansion tutorial game. I think that might have only been on the Wii version.

It took me quite a while to figure out the game was a remake of the original Tomb Raider.

Ride Over Moscow ( Raid Over Moscow )

Finally, my dad bought me a Commador64. You had to wait some minutes to load the game from a tape cassette.

I was very young. The game was brutally hard, the joystick was never carrying out your decisions. It was the game challenge, to find the right moves. but I loved it.

Dude, Raid Over Moscow was a really great game. I loved that there was some variety to the game. I really liked the levels where it was kind of like first person, and you were trying to blow up different parts of a building with a bazooka, or something.

Rad Racer, it was before my folks got me my own NES yet the video store close to my grandparents used to lease them and I some way or another persuaded them to lease me one and Rad Racer. I strikingly recollect sitting before the TV and playing it in the wake of watching a VHS tape of old kid's shows.

Earliest memory was probably Chess. I can't remember the specs of the system we owned but it had an amber display (dating myself here) and I remembering being a little kid and just messing around with the game. I never won anything, clearly, but it was still fun!

Beyond that, Wolf 3D was my first love. I remember being like 5 or 6 at the time and running outside, where my Dad was doing some gardening, to tell him excitedly that I found a secret.

You're in good company with a lot of other old dudes around here.

Wolf 3D was my first love

Prince of Persia was my first "OMG look what these document and spreadsheet machines can do", and Wolf 3D was next, wavy walls and all

amber display (dating myself here)

Hey, what a coincidence! I dated a display girl called Amber too, right after I figured dating myself was going to be too predictable.

But you save so much money! AND you get exactly the kind of pizza you want!

It was Toruk for the Xbox 360, and i was 8 years old at the time.... Literally the scariest video game ever. I always stayed in the very first safe biome of the game because i was too scared to go beyond a certain point where raptors started becoming an enemy. To this day i have not completed it.

 

[MrNovember]

Hmm. Probably a NES game. One of these 3 probably: Kung Fu, The Wrath of Black Manta or Super Mario

We live right next to a local pizza place. My family usually just gets our own personal-sized pizzas with whatever we want on it. It's great!

My mind is just blown at how many new posters come in to post in this one thread, and then never really come back. I wonder why that is.

 

[Zuulidd]

[Wynny2k]

First game was Mario and I remember as a child when I could not pass a level after a long running game session, I would jog around the block and then come back refreshed and complete the level first time! Such great memories and what a feeling it was progressing through the game
