What was the first video game you remember playing?

[Max_Headroom4]

As you can probably tell by my SN that I like old school games from back in the day. The old Atari games, Sega Genesis & Nintendo, then I transitioned to Xbox over Play Station, although Playstation was for Madden battles with my friends......Can't forget the early COD online play. I do partake in a few role playing games like Assassins Creed & Red Dead Redemption. I have a Nephew who turned me on the the Steam Platform. I'm still evolving as a gamer. You can also find me on Chess Dot com app enjoying a good game of Chess. RxMundy9 if any would like to get Check mated.

The very first game I remember ever seeing is probably Zaxxon on my father's Radio Shack TRS-80.

That blew my mind.

Ah! Carmen Sandiego. I loved that game. A friend gifted us this from their visit to New York, that was when I thought of Infinity and Beyond. However, the other game that I remember is Tetris. Just uncomplicated, fun, ambidextrous and stimulating. Those were the days.

Haha. Finally! Another Carmen Sandiego aficionado!

Probably one of the Tony Hawk skate boarding games for the Game Cube.
I remember not even finishing the missions just skating around and having fun.

Road Rash.
It came pre-installed with the first ever PC my dad bought for me and my brothers back in 2003.

Elevator Action

Funny the way coincidence works. Last night's episode of the show we're currently watching was:

"Evil: Dem Bösen auf der Spur" E Is for Elevator (TV Episode 2021) ⭐ 8.0 | Crime, Drama, Horror

44m | TV-MA

I played it in arcades, better graphics... though that was almost 35 years ago now.

This is my first video game that I remember from childhood.

The first video game i remember was the one where you get to shoot ducks using a small gun connected to SNES. I don't remember what it's called, but the Hound from that game was laughing when you don't get to kill a duck. My dad used to play this game as well (i wasn't surprised-he is a hunter in real life too).

GTA3 and Supaplex, later on Heroes and AEO1

Heroes of might and magic? 🤩

Space Invaders

My first video game I remember playing was Golden Axe on the SEGA Mega Drive. Gilius Thunderhead was my favourite character to slay Adders forces.

 

[Glimpse of lucidity]

Shrek: Treasure Hunt on PS1 when I was around 6 y.o.
The last game - Gardens Of Celestial Globes.
(21 years between these two events...)

Welcome to all our new members! I'm loving reading your contributions!

Considering how extremely early i gotten into video games, my answer's pretty fuzzy so it's likely a tie between Golden Axe on the Sega Genesis and the first episode of Wolfenstein 3D.

Been so long now that I might remember things in the wrong order but I am pretty sure the first game i remember playing was Panic64 on C64 when i was 5.

You should go post in the C64 thread in the Retro Gaming subforum.

Nah, I don't have much interest in discussing the C64, I make references to it from time to time seing as it was my first home computor but that's about it

 

[WoodenSaucer]

I think Zelda could technically count but Mario would not count. I think Mario is more of a franchise than series.

Sounds like something I posted in another thread.

^ thank you for bringing that up I knew I saw that post somewhere!

kleptomaniac posters all over the place

 

[Assassinkill30]

My first video game was either Transformers Dark of The Moon or Assassin's Creed

 

[FreezerBurn]

Legends of the Red Dragon... well one of the first. It was only accessible on BBS. Honestly, it was the only reason I ran a BBS decades ago.

 

[PointnClicker01]

The first games I played as a child were German educational games, for example many Ravensburger games or "Die schlaue Bande" (= the clever gang) adventures. They teached me to love point and click adventures and so it is no wonder that my favourite childhood games were games like Pyjama Sam (who funnily is called Pyjama Pit in German) or Freddi Fish (in German: Fritzi Fisch). My first English spoken game was Syberia and since then I played almost every game in English.

rememeber when games were fun and we didn't care about what they looked like?
